Sock Snowman Gift

My friend LeAnn made this beautiful example. Whether you're loving this little guy to give to friends, or to make a cluster of them for a decorative snowman family for your own holiday decorations, this snowman is a piece of cake to make and the price is sweet too!

To make, she used an old tube sock that had lost its mate to the dryer monster (you know the one... he eats all the pairs to your socks and leaves you with just one of every pair you own!). She flipped the sock inside out and stuffed about half full of stuffing (you can buy a large bag for about $1.99 at Walmart or simliar stores and save the extra for later projects!!). She used fabric scraps she had on hand to fashion a scarf for her snowman and tied it loosely around the "neck" area. She then painted a screw an orange color, and pushed it through for the nose of the snowman. She simply embroidered on the eyes by sewing black thread through the sock several times. Then she stuffed a ball shaped piece of stuffing into the sock, and tied it off just above it using a rubberband. Now she had the head and the body of the snowman with a cute scarf, nose and eyes! She flipped the rest of the sock over to make the hat, and tied the very top of the hat with some raffia. Simply cut out a few patches or hearts from scrap fabric and attach at various places on the snowman and vuah-lah!

I thought this "little thing" was far too cute not to share! :)
