Materials needed: White tube socks
Rice or beans
Ankle socks with cute designs - can pick some up for $1 at Target
Twine
Buttons
Felt
Hot glue gun and 1 glue stick
Step 1 - Take the tube sock and cut the foot part off and toss in trash. Turn leg part of the sock inside out and tie one end of it tightly with some of the twine. After your end is tied turn the sock back inside right and fill it full with rice or beans. I used rice in mine and filled it super full so I would have fat snow people! Once you have it filled up tie the top of the sock securely with some twine.
Step 2 - Take your pair of design socks and with one cut off the heel and toe, this is what you are going to use as his clothes. The other sock you want to cut it off towards the middle of the foot and use the toe part for the hat.
Step 3 - Take the sock you cut out for the clothes and put it on your snow man. Take twine and tie it tightly at the top of the sock. The tighther you can get it the better. If you want you can tie a second string at the bottom like I did on the pink one I made. If you choose not to tie a second string you can decorate the bottom portion with felt in any design you like. I used a flower with a button center on one and a heart on another. You can also decortate his belly with buttons if you choose.
Step 4 - Place the other cut sock on his head covering up the tie you made. I was afraid his hat might fall off so I hot glued it down. I also tied some twine at the toe end of the sock so that it didnt look to much like a sock. You can also add a button or felt to your hat if want. I just left mine in a simple bow.
Step 5 - Glue on some googly eyes and a felt nose and your snow people are complete!
Good Luck and Happy Crafting!! xoxo
