[Nfb-krafters-korner] Non-slip booties tutorial

[Tammy]

Well, since I was doing some snooping with the Resource page, I came across
the following info about non-slip Booties

***Tutorial***

it has the look and feel of the product you see on lots of baby socks.  So
here is brief tutorial: 

 

Step 1:  Prepare the surface of your slipper.  For felted slippers I use a
razor (just a regular bic disposable razor) to shave off all the little
fuzzies. 

You want the paint to have a nice surface to adhere to.  For other materials
you can probably just skip this step, but do make sure the sole is clean.

Step 2: Get the feel for your paint.  I have found that I need a few
practice rounds on a piece of paper to make sure I get an even application.
You can

also play with your design a bit too.

Step 3:  Pick a design.  I use just horizontal lines.  I find that this is
the easiest for me to apply and has a really clean nice look - plus I do
think

that the horizontal lines provide some additional friction compared with
other designs.  Some people do dots or wavy lines, etc.  Get creative!

Step 4:  Apply the paint to the sole.

Step 5:  Let dry for about 4 hours.

Step 6:  Most of the instructions on paint bottle say that at this point you
should use a hair dryer to activate the paint.  I have found that a hair
dryer

takes forever.  The better method is to put your iron on the steam setting
and hold the iron about a 1/2 inch from the surface of the paint.  This
method

takes just a few seconds, it is incredible!  The paint will puff up into a
wonderfully spongy non-skid surface.

DONE!  Love that!
