Make No-Slip Socks

I'd been wanting to do this project for a while now, so here goes...

Give
your plainy-Janey socks...

one-of-a-kind no-slip soles.

1. Place cardboard strips in your socks and paint designs on the bottom using Puffy Paint.

2. Let them dry according to package instructions (I left mine overnight).

How cute are these all rolled up like rosettes for a gift?

Ooh-- throw in a great foot scrub (I have a great eBook full of sugar scrub recipes) and your Valentine will kiss your feet! Truth.

Some other ideas I came up with (but haven't yet tried) are:

stenciling the recipient's name,
writing the alphabet and
drawing butterflies or animal paw-prints.

  3. I just checked out this darling project, Erin! You are so clever! My oldest son is always doing the Tom Cruise slide across our floors in his socks (on purpose, of course). I just might go buy some puffy paints to keep him from slip sliding away! : ) Thank you!
