Use Fabric Paint To Mark Your Socks

If you have a member of a family that uses the same type/brand of socks like yours and worse is that they have have a smaller size socks, then you know how it feels putting on socks that barely fits you.

This was my dilemma with my oldest son. We bought the same style and brand of socks except his is size small. It is colored black so a sharpie/marker will not work and they only last a few washings anyways.

I went to Walmart and found some fabric paint in small squeeze bottles for a couple of dollars. I went back home and lined up my socks and just inverted the white paint bottle and squeezed a “dot” to the socks. I was done in 5 minutes and it has been a year and I still can identify which socks are mine.

You can also use darker colored paint or even the luminous ones that will shine in the dark depending on the color of your socks.

Now, this not only apply to socks but you can even mark your shirts, pants, underwear or anything that you need to identify that is yours especially if you are using a washateria. Just place a dot in an inconspicuous part so that it will not show when you are wearing it.
