STEP TWO STEP THREE STEP FOUR
Tie a rubber band around the side of the ribbed
section that you cut from the solid section and
then turn inside out. This will allow the sock to
hold the rice. The solid section is already closed
at the toe, so there is no need for this step for
your “adult” snowman. Fill as far up to the top of each section as you can
with your rice, leaving enough space at the top
to be able to wrap with another rubber band. Using another rubber band, wrap just above the
middle of the sock to create the head.
STEP SIX
Now the fun part! Find some things around your home you can use for
embellishment. I raided my craft-stash for flowers and buttons. If you don’t
have a craft-stash (aka Hobby Lobby trinkets and trash) rummage through
some of your old clothing. I guarantee you can find something interesting
for your little snow guy or gal to show off. Get out your glue gun and go
crazy! I actually found them to be sweet without eyes, but my children both
disagreed. So, we added some little black dots so their “babies” could see.
Once my girls decide to stop carrying around their snow creatures like
baby-dolls, I hope to display them somewhere in our home to enjoy
throughout the holidays. They would look precious on top of a mantle,
or incorporated into a tablescape. If you have a ton of mismatched socks,
you could even do an entire Christmas tree of sock-snowmen. The world
is your oyster, people.
Wishing you and your families a blessed Holiday season.
