Sock Snowman

FB Source: Attitude 4 Fitness/Paige Sterner

Supplies Needed:
A pair of old socks (crew length, or longer)

rice, 

rubber bands, 

map pins with heads, 

buttons, 

any left over fabric if you want for a scarf.

Directions:

1. Assemble your supplies.
2. First, cut off the top of the sock (sock) from the foot (foot).
3. Turn the sock inside out and attach a rubber band tightly to the top of the sock.
4. Then turn the sock right-side out again. 
5. Fill the sock with rice. Make sure to pack it down as you go so the sock gets a nice round base. 
6. Rubber band the top of the sock closed and put another rubber band 3/4 of the way to the top for the head of your snowman. 
7. Now, decorate! Tie a scarf around your snowman's neck and add eyes, nose, and buttons. Use the leftover foot to fashion a stocking cap. Or you could use colored argyle socks to create hats and sweaters for your snowman. You can either sew or glue on your buttons, and add embellishments - twine, bows, ribbons, etc - as needed. 

This is such a quick and easy craft - 10 minutes tops - that it would be simple to create a whole family of snowmen for your mantle! How cute are these to make with the little ones?!!!!!!!!!!!
