No-Sew Sock Snowman
This one's a classic. It's the perfect way to use up any spare socks that have lost their partners!
Yield: 1 snowman
Cost: 5
Materials
- 1 white sock
- 1 colored sock The photo shows white, but we like the idea of adding a pop of color
- 2 lbs dry rice
- 2 rubber bands
- 3 colorful buttons
- 1 ribbon
- 1 hot glue gun with hot glue sticks
- black and orange markers can also use orange pom-pom instead of orange marker
Instructions
- Fill your white sock with rice. You will need a hefty amount, but it's up to you how filled you want your snowman to be.
- Once you are happy with the size of your sock snowman, tie the top with the rubber band.
- Take another rubber band and place in the middle/upper section of the rice-filled sock to form the head shape.
- Glue the buttons to the bottom side by using a glue gun (glue dots work fairly well too). If buttons aren't your thing, you can also use rhinestones or beans.
- Draw the mouth and eyes with a black marker or with black paint.
- Add a ribbon for the scarf. A glue gun works best for ribbon. You can cut off excess white sock, but you can also wait to tuck it in with the next step.
- Cut the colored sock, discarding the heel and ankle section, you just need the mid-foot/toe section. Roll it a bit and place it on the head of your snowman. Leave it as it is, or you can secure it with some glue.
