So I’m sad to say that I did not come up with this fabulous idea, I had originally found it on Pinterest a while back, but nonetheless it is still totally awesome!
So as you may know, if you’ve been following my blog, I have an adorable 2-1/2 year old boy. He loves to run and run and run around the house. Because of this I have tried to make sure I only buy him grip socks, to help do my part in preventing slips and falls. However as he gets bigger, grip socks are less common for his size; and he’s received socks from others that are soft and comfy but he can’t wear because he’ll fall all over the place; and the gripper socks from the store are often thicker and more plush which makes for a tight fit in shoes, so when we go over to someone else’s home I’ve actually had him wear non-grip socks inside his shoes and then switch into grip socks when we arrive. So now you can understand my dilemma and see how truly important grip socks are to our family! (I bet you didn’t think this post would be so serious did you?! lol)
Anyways, after I saw the pic on Pinterest, I immediately went out and bought a bottle of Tulip Slick Dimensional Fabric Paint. You can use any brand you like, the idea is just that the paint is dimensional, so it dries raised and rubbery-hence providing the grip.
Then I grabbed my little ones socks and went to town. *Note: Make sure the socks have been washed to avoid any shrinking/stretching and other fabric deformations before you make your designs. Also, thick designs can tend to stretch and crack when worn, so keep that in mind when drawing.
Okay, I know you’re tired of looking at socks but one last pic ‘cause these are my favorite!
I think I’ll go and make some of these for myself…perhaps they’ll say “Best Mom Ever”…hmm…
Hope You Enjoyed,
Happy Crafting,
