Thanks for sharing this. I must have missed the type or trade name of the
paint used. Do you know?

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!
