Sock Snowman
Make the CUTEST sock snowman in minutes with this easy Christmas craft tutorial! You won't believe this darling sock snowman craft started with a plain white sock.
Servings 1 snowman
Ingredients
- 1 white men's sock (must be ALL white)
- 1 pattern or color sock (fuzzy socks look best)
- 3 cups rice
- rubber bands
- hot glue
- fabric scissors
- 2 tiny black buttons
- 1 piece orange pipe cleaner
- accent buttons
- fabric or ribbon for scarf (optional)
Instructions
- Use fabric scissors to cut straight across the white sock under the heel. Keep the bottom portion and discard the top. Turn sock inside out.
- Place a funnel inside the sock, then add about 3 cups of rice inside the sock. Plop the sock down a few times to stretch it out to fit more rice inside. This will make the snowman nice and plum and firm. Close off the top with a rubber band, then use another rubber band to create the head. Trim the excess sock from the top if necessary.
- Cut a few inches off from the toe of a pattern or colored sock to make the hat. Cut another straight line just underneath the heel of the same sock to make the sweater. Place the hat on the snowman's head and the sweater on its' body. Use hot glue to hold the hat and sweater in place, then add a pom-pom to the top of the hat.
- Hot glue two tiny black buttons to make the snowman's eyes. Cut a small piece of orange pipe cleaner, then use hot glue to press it into the sock for the snowman's nose. If you'd like your snowman to have rosy cheeks, dip a tiny pom-pom or Q-tip into pink blush and gently press it onto the snowman's cheeks.
- Hot glue buttons onto the snowman's sweater. If you'd like your snowman to have a scarf, then cut a long strip of fabric or ribbon, tie it around your snowman, and hot glue in place. Use scissors to create fringe on the scarf ends.
- Proudly display your snowman or give it as a thoughtful handmade Christmas gift to family members, neighbors, friends, grandparents, or teachers.
