What to use to make a non skid surface on slippers

[ellidew]

I really didn't know where or how to ask this question but hopefully someone can help!

Since it's getting cold I bought ds a pair of fleece slippers to wear in the house and for short car trips where putting on shoes isn't necessary. I put them on him last night at home and even with the dots of non-skid on the bottle he was still slipping all around.

Is there something i can put on the bottom to increase the non-skid surface?

Do they still sell that puff paint type stuff, would that work?

That's what I was going to suggest - either the puffy paint or the Tulip brand paint in the tubes (you know what I'm talking about?)

I was going to suggest fabric paint. ;) It's in the craft section.

THANK YOU! I'll hit up joanns on my way home from work tonight to doctor up the slippers!

Just make sure you let it dry overnight.

They sell this rubbery/foamy fabric stuff at the fabric store that's use for grip under area rugs. I'd try hot gluing a little of that to the bottoms.

Sophia- Good thought... maybe i'll wait to do anything until after tomorrow. I bought them for him to wear for the Thanksgiving Day parade in St Louis since it's going to be like 30 degrees outside!

Oh, Fabric Paint - what a clever name :p LOL.

If that doesn't work, another suggestion would be those rubber sticky things that you put on the floor of bathtubs to prevent slipping.

I had a pair of dance shoes in high school that I did this for and it it worked wonders. I just cut up the tub stickers and pieced them together on teh soles of the shoes.
