Making Slipper Soles Non-Slip

[buggainok]

I'm planning to make some crochet slippers for Christmas gifts, so went on a hunt to find the best way to make the soles non-slip.

I have tried using the puff paint found in the craft department, and it works, but gets dirty easily, and rubs off.

Here is a method I'm going to try that looks pretty good. The product is called "Plasti-Dip," and is a liquid that you use to paint a "rubber" coating on the handles of tools.

I saw a blog where she used the spray version, and it was very messy, and didn't turn out too well. I think the liquid, with a paint brush would be the best.

Here is a link to how to do it:

Tails to Tell: No-Slip Slippers

PS I think this might work to coat the back of crocheted rugs, too.

thank you for this information. I have made some slippers, (and boy were they ever slippery slippers on wood floors) and went sliding around myself.

Yes good post only this week I had a lady ask me how to make the slippers I gave her non-slip as she also has hardwood floors. I was thinking a line of hot glue but this would be so much better, many thanks for sharing

If she doesn't want to go to the trouble to use the method above, you can apply some squiggley lines of the puff paint that you get in the craft dept. at Walmart or Joanns.
