Kids Anti-Skid Socks, a DIY BIG Money Saver

With my little one just learning to walk, the anti-skid socks are so important now. My only problem with them was the price, the quantity for the money, and the selection. So, with that said I headed off to Wal-Mart and got two packs of white socks (packs of ten) some ankle length and some calf height. Then I went and purchased a $.99  bottle of puffy paint (white). If memory served me the two packs of socks were approximately $9.50 total. I have just over $10 dollars in the 20 pairs of anti-skid socks.....now that's a huge bargain.

Here is how to do it:

Lay the socks out with the bottom of the sock facing up.
Then start to put whatever designs you so choose to put on the socks.
I put the same design on each pair of socks so I could match them or feel free to put the same on all.
Allow them to dry overnight to insure they are completely dry.
Then wash the socks as you normally would.
Now they are ready for baby/toddler/kid to wear.

Now, I am going to add a side note...folks if you have wood floors and especially wood steps in your house, go ahead and do them on the adult socks as well. Better safe than sorry cause that is one spill you don't want to take.  :)

Enjoy!
