How To Make Your Own DIY Non-Slip Socks

What You'll Need:

• Cardboard
• Puffy Paint
• Regular Socks

Method:

• Trace your little one's feet on the cardboard and cut that out
• Place the cardboard cutouts into the socks (This will prevent the paint from cracking when the socks are worn)
• Use the puffy paints and draw patterns on the soles of the socks (You can follow the pattern that's already printed on the socks or you could decorate it however you like; be it hearts, squiggly lines or even ordinary straight lines will do the trick)
• Let them dry for 24 hours
• Take the cardboard out of the socks
• Voila! Your very own DIY non-slip baby socks
• Side note: Turn the socks inside out before throwing them in the wash

Unfortunately, your little one easily grows out off them.

Even if you have no plans on having another little bundle of the joy in the future, you just never know and should always be prepared in the chance of a visit from the storks. Don't throw away any of your baby's clothing, keep them and sort them out by age to avoid a heaping pile of unkempt clothes. Make a pile for every size (newborn, 0-3 months, 3-6 months, 6-12 months, etc), neatly fold them and store them in an organized fashion. You can opt to sort them into more detail such as dresses, pants, shirts, and so on. Should you need to pull items out for future children, or to give to a friend, you'll have everything you need for that specific age or size. Hang on to their little shoes as well, it'll be the perfect keepsake for when they're all grown up. You can take an extra step by labelling the sortments. By chance your sortments end up collecting dust instead of being put to use, hand them over to goodwill, a good deed always goes a long way and hey! Those who attain them may get more use out of it and not to mention, the extra cleared space in your closet.

 

Dresses make for adorable peplum blouses or tops for your baby girl, some alteration on the torso part of the dress will be needed for your little one to fit into it perfectly. Pair it with pants or shorts and your little princess will have a whole new outfit.
