[We've all seen/had a sock monkey.......but how cute are these!!! ~Tina]
How cute are these to make with the little ones?!!!!!!!!!!!
For this craft, you'll need:
a pair of old socks that are crew length,
or longer,
rice,
rubber bands,
map pins with heads,
buttons,
any left
over fabric, if you want for a scarf.
First, cut off the top of the sock
from the foot.
Turn the sock inside out and attach a rubber band
tightly to the top of the sock.
Then turn the sock right-side
out again.
Fill the sock with rice. Make sure to pack it down as you
go so the sock gets a nice round base.
Rubber band the top of the sock
closed and put another rubber band 3/4 of the way to the top for the
head of your snowman.
Now, decorate!
Tie a scarf around your snowman's
neck and add eyes, nose, and buttons.
Use the toe of your cut socks to
fashion a stocking cap.
Or you could use colored argyle socks to create
hats and sweaters for your snowman.
You can either sew or glue on your
buttons, and add embellishments - twine, bows, ribbons, etc - as needed.
This is such a quick and easy craft - 10 minutes tops - that it would
be simple to create a whole family of snowmen for your mantle!
