Our moms had a great time getting crafty with these adorable sock families!
In just 2 short hours we had entire snowville made complete with 25 of these snow people!
Heres how you can do it at home:
What youll need:
-one white sock
-one colourful or Christmas sock
-string
-2 elastic bands
-Assortment of buttons
-wooden bbq skewer
-any decorations you want to add *see picture below
- glue gun
How to:
1) Cut white sock straight across just above heel
2) Fill sock with rice, needs to be stiff (if you use the ankle part of the sock you'll need to tightly place an elastic on the end and flip the sock inside out)
3) Tie elastic around the top of sock leaving some fabric out (this will keep his hat propped up)
4) Cut decorative sock above ankle and just below heel (if using a short ankle sock you need 2 - cut one at toe and heel, the other just below the heel *see picture)
5) Tie string around neck to create a head
6) Fold extra fabric under, place toe section of sock on head and tie hat with decorative bells etc.
7) Glue two small buttons on as eyes
8) Cut bbq skewer and colour with orange marker for nose
9) Decorate with whatever you have to bling out your snowmen
That's it! Then you can make a whole family! Here are the ones I made to represent my family!
