Grippy Socks

April 29, 2013 by Kate Leave a Comment

This is a great idea for when children are stuck inside or looking to give a parent or grandparent a unique gift. They are personally designed socks that grip to the floor! 
They are simple to make and will no doubt be treasured.

LETS MAKE GRIPPY SOCKS!!! 

I stretched a plain sock over an empty cardboard box. 
I also used an empty ice cube tray! 

It’s important to stretch the sock to a size that would resemble a persons foot. 
If it isn’t stretched then the paint will crack when it’s dried and worn. 
I purchased these squeezy bottles of 3D puff paint for roughly $8AUS. 
You can get this paint at all good craft suppliers. 
My niece and nephew had a great time designing their own grippy socks. 
They drew pictures and wrote words with the paint. 

As you can see, they did a wonderful job and had lots of fun in the process. 
The paint took about 4 hours to dry completely. 

I wondered what wonderful designed your children would make?
