As part of a gift basket, I'm doing personalized socks for a few of my friends, and I'm terrible at sewing, knitting, etc. So I'm going to get blank socks and "decorate" them. Sounds lame, but these particular friends would love 'em.

So my questions is, can you recommend a good fabric marker or something else if you have a better idea? I want them to be able to withstand at least a couple washes.

TIA!

well, puffy paint comes to mind because that is pretty fun and can be sparkly, glittery, solid and tons of colors. You might want to practice, but it's basically like drawing with glue.

I used to love crafting with puffy paint. I cant think of any reliable paints to use.

i want a project to do with puffy paint.

why not just get them colored socks that remind you of them? (i love crafts but i'm not sure i'd wear puff painted socks)

I was thinking more along the lines of fabric paint or something. What would happen if I used permanent markers?

I know I've used fabric paint in the past, but I have no idea brand or anything. It held up okay.

I'm not helpful... sorry!

the only k ind of fabric paint i've used in the past was spray... i think it was tulip brand (the same as a popular puff paint brand)

there are pens that look like sharpies you can get that are for fabric, you'll see them if you go to the fabric store
