I gathered my materials: A sharp knife, a wreath form, and multi-pack socks in Christmas colors (all from the Dollar Store!). I followed the directions posted over at Blue Cricket, and came up with this...
And then, as it often happens...I couldn't stop. On this one, I cut both ends of the sock and tied a leftover sock into a "bow."
Can you just imagine the possibilities for all those hole-y socks now? Total cost for this craft: $2.50 per wreath (and an extra pair of socks leftover.) Not bad!Enjoy your Monday!
This is way too sweet! I'm sewing up log cabin blocks in those same colors right now... fabrics from the thrift store, you can't beat that!

This is perfect for my laundry room door!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! Just pinned it and will check out your boards asap.Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, and I have a 15-year-old pair of Christmas socks my Grandma gave me before she passed away. I'm thinking this would be a nice way to cherish and display them instead keeping them in my sock drawer. Thank you. :)

Feel free to grab a featured button from my side bar.
I would like to make one like this but use it as a gift with socks that can be used. I imagine you had cut all of these to put onto the form but maybe they could be wraped around the form without cutting them. It would probably take about 8 or 10 pair of socks though. What do you think.
ReplyDeleteSoooo cute! I've had this on my Pinterest board for a while and now it's time to act.. Love the sock bow. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSooo cute! I've had this on my Pinterest board a while, now it's time to act. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteCute idea with the Christmas socks.
ReplyDeleteThe link for directions doesn't work. Could you email the directions or post them here?
ReplyDeleteNo the link doesn't work. So where are the directions?
ReplyDeleteNo directions. Did you cut the wreath form and slide the socks on?
