It is time to start packing for the hospital, so I thought I'd make myself some goodies. First, I needed a pair of non-slip socks. Didn't see any I liked at the store, so here is a quick tutorial on how to make your own.

You'll need one new pair of socks, cardboard and fabric paint. Trace each foot onto the cardboard and cut out (an empty cereal box works well).

Slip the cardboard template into the sock to give you a flat working surface and to absorb any excess paint.

Add fabric paint to the bottom of the sock in any design you like.

Let dry according to the paint instructions. My paint instructions said to let dry for 12 hours.

There you go ... easy non-slip socks. I plan to make
these cute slippers and make them non-slip as well.
