Right Bottom: shorten to appropriate length, cut holes for legs.

When the kids ask for mismatched socks to make clothes for their stuffed animals, they become lost in imagination for hours. After fashioning sock clothes, their creativity is ignited and imagination soars. To get started, all you need is a 1) stuffed animal, 2) a sock and a 3) scissors. If your kids are big enough to work with a scissors on their own, this is a fantastic independent project.

Supplies:Socks
Scissors
Embellishments: glue on pom poms, buttons, fabric shapes (cutting shapes from felt is perfect because it doesn’t fray), jewels, ribbons — just use your imagination. Old becomes new!
To make an outfit, simply find the right sock, cut holes for the arms, legs and an entry point for the stuffed animals and embellish. Make a matching cap, belt or cape. Use just like this or have fun embellishing with by gluing on accent pieces of fabric, sewing or even painting. It’s always something new one can do.
