Snow-woman!

Have you ever lost your sock?? I know i have! Do you even sit and ponder where the other sock ends up ??  One time i watched at cartoon where there was a sock monster. He was blue and hairy and fat. They sock monsters like to live in peoples' laundry rooms. They do this cuz they steal the socks from the dryer they only like to take only one sock from a pair and watch the humans go crazy when they couldn't find the other one. That's a pretty good theory ... what else could explain the sudden disappearance of socks... well luckily i have a tutorial to make good use of your lonely socks with no pairs. It's a Christmas craft. Just in time for the holidays.  

Making snow people has been one of our family traditions for quite some time now. It's so much fun to make these and did i mention cheap.

Items you will need:
old sock
thread
a hot glue gun
rice
scissors
fabric markers
googly eyes
buttons
twigs for the arms

 Grab a cup of some sort and pour your rice into the sock

Make sure you make your first rice ball is nice and plump - this will be the base or your snowman/woman and you want it to be stable. This will also determine the size of the rest of the body so if you want a fat snow man make this mall the pretty big.

When you get a nice size going, push the rice down into the bottom and make a round shape for the body.  Use your thread to secure the ball. Tie around the top part of ball about 2 or 3 times.

Do the same procedure for the next snow ball. It will start looking more like a snowman in a second. don't cha start doubting me !

When you complete your three balls of rice. there will be some left over sock on with that you can make the snow mans hat. Fold the leftover fabric down to make the shape of the hat.

 Once you're satisfied with the shape for the snowman,  Hot glue the bottom snow ball to the top snow ball around the rim. This will help for stability. We don't want our snow people to collapse their arms are brittle and they probably won't be able to get up by themselves.

Pick out your eyes! i like jewels for eyes, but you could either draw them on or use googly eyes

 Glue them one be careful not to burn your fingers!

If its a girl snow person make her look preetty !!

 use another sock (colorful one preferably) to Make her accessories . hot glue, hot glue ! I used a bow for the hat, she is so cute!
♫OH u fancy huh !OH u fancy huh nails done hair done everything did - this is her song ♫

 Use buttons or jewels for her nose and body accessories

 I drew on her mouth with glittery fabric marker but any marker will do.

 Next use some twigs for the arms. Why not give her a candy cane to hold.  Some blush to show she's cold, it's snowng out side !  Matter of fact,,, "I'm made of snowflakes honey!"  tadah!!! you have a wonderful snow- woman to give you that Christmas spirit your heart has been yearning for ... and sock monster if your reading this- go kick rocks cuz i found something to do with the left over sock!! boo ya!!! i win !
