Snowman

A handmade craft made of socks can be a Christmas tree decoration, a souvenir gift to friends, or just a soft toy. For work, prepare the following materials:

• white and red socks (1 each);
• bright beads or buttons;
• filler (cotton, synthetic winterizer, scraps of fabric);
• scissors;
• a needle;
• white threads;
• gum stationery.

How do you make DIY crafts from socks in the form of a snowman figurine? Read more about this in the instructions.

Fill the white sock with filler. Then, using rubber bands, drag the product, forming the head, trunk and lower part of the figure. Tie these places with white thread. Remove the rubber bands. From the red sock, cut the front part, from it form a hat for the snowman. Next, cut a narrow long patch of the same thing from which to make a scarf with a fringe. Sew eyes (buttons or beads) and a nose from a piece of fabric on the head of the figure. Attach buttons to the body. The snowman is ready!

Bouquet - craft from socks. With our own hands we create an original gift

A flower from a sock is performed literally in one minute. It needs to be laid out on the table and, starting with the cuff, twist in a spiral. Reaching the heel, tuck around the axis of the place where the foot is, and continue to wrap the product further. Hold this roll with your fingers from below, picking up in this place with your fingers, preventing it from spinning. The result is a soft flower in the form of a rose. Insert a wooden skewer into the middle of the product, and secure the structure with a pin. Make the right number of colors this way. Tie them with tape, decorate with wrapping paper. You can insert such a bouquet into a basket and dilute it with artificial or natural flowers.

Covers for flowerpots - crafts from socks

The workshop for their manufacture is very simple. For bright socks, cut the cuffs and hem the cut on the seamy side so that the cover does not fray and open. Put the product on small pots of plants. From above, you can tie a bow from a satin or kapron ribbon, attach flowers from lace. Such bright covers will bring freshness and comfort to the atmosphere of your home.

A similar product is always useful in the home. It can be laid under the feet in the bathroom or in front of the front door. It is easy to make for those who know how to knit.

Old socks cut into spirals on narrow ropes and wind into a ball. Then with a thick knitting needle or crochet, knit a rug of any shape or size you want. Such a product is durable and does not require special care. Washing and drying is all.
