non-slippy star socks

Welcome to See Kate Sew! If you’re new here, sign up for my email newsletter for access to free patterns, tutorials and all the latest sewing news! Tour my sewing room HERE!

I love the idea of putting puffy paint on the bottom of regular socks to make them non-slip. But I hate how homemade (in a bad way) puffy paint looks. Unleashed from the bottom it just screams homemade and usually tacky. It’s hard to get puffy paint to look nice.

I found a solution, using silhouette vinyl to give the puffy paint a definite shape. It’s really easy, too!

Materials:
*puffy paint
*silhouette vinyl
*paint brush
*regular socks

Cut out a star design with your CAMEO. I used the freehand line tool to draw a little quirky star. Then I shrunk it down and copy and pasted it over and over. The stars don’t really look like stars, just blobs, but they’ll cut out crisp and clean.

Cut them out and peel off the vinyl. Stick it on the bottom of your socks.

Fill with paint.

Then let dry. I didn’t let the paint dry all the way before I peeled it off, but I wish I had. You’ll get a crisper line if you wait until the paint is completely dry. And then you’re done!

Enjoy not slipping in the kitchen!

    Those would be perfect to wear when the kids go to Monkey Joe’s. That carpet is so slippery and the floor is really hard if you fall down.

    in the hospital they have these…different colors indicate different levels of fall risk…maybe c gets bright red ones…high fall risk?

    I don’t find our floors too slippery but this looks nice! I guess it will work nicely on the side of the sock where you can see it.

    This is genius–thank you, Kate! It’s starting to be cold where we are and my children have started to ask for socks. I’ve been dreading the falls, and here is the perfect solution. Thank you! What kind of puffy paint do you use?
