How To Make a Snowman With an Old Sock
My son came home from school with this cute sock snowman below, and told me to make a post about it. I promised him that I would, and that was about three weeks ago.
Today, I made good with my promise and post this idea and tips from JoJo.
Gather Your Materials
- One good long white sock (you know, from the pile of mismatched socks bin), turn it inside out
- 2 google eyes
- A piece of blue ribbon or any color that you like
- Sparkle glue in blue color, or colored marker
- Sparkle glue in orange color
- A rubber band
- A black marker
- Rice
Put Your Snowman Together
- Fill the rice up to the heel of the sock
- Fold the cuff down to make the top hat
- Tie it off with a rubber band
- Tie with the blue ribbon to form the bottom body
Decorate Your Snowman
- Use the blue sparkle glue to make the buttons on the snowman's body, by hold it down for a few second to create a large dot.
- Use the black marker to draw a smile on his face
- Use the orange sparkle glue to make the nose
- Glue on the google eyes
- Personalize with your child's name if you want to

ReplyDeleteGreat post, looks like a fun project! Now I can make my own snowman in the desert. :D
ReplyDeleteI am glad you shard your son's snow man. It looks very nice with his blue scarf. I have to occasionally show off my great grandson and his work. Nothing better than the work and love of a child.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to make this with Ms Trinity, it looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteIcy, that is absolutely adorable and seems easy enough to create. You can open your own Artfire shop and sell these. I'd buy one, I love snowmen. So cute.
ReplyDeleteCute little sock snowman. Happy blue monday.
