Our sock crafts make great gifts for a winter baby. Later the socks can be worn. Try making this baby sock snowman from two pairs of baby socks. Kids will need lots of help to make this, but they'll enjoy stuffing the socks to make a gift for a new baby.
To Make your Baby Sock Snowman, You'll Need
Two pairs of baby socks, one white and one colored
Small scraps of colored felt
Cotton wool
Needle and thread
Scissors
Now Make Your Baby Snowman
Stuff one of the white socks with cotton wool. This will form the snowman's body. Above this bulge, stuff it with a white and a colored sock rolled up together (with the white sock on the outside), to form the head.
Roll the remaining colored sock up to make a hat. Twist the end of the white sock and fold it over. Pull the colored sock on to cover the top of the white sock and to make the snowman's hat.
Tie the silver ribbon around the baby snowman's neck as a scarf.
Cut eyes, nose, mouth and buttons from scraps of felt and stitch them on to make the snowman's features.
You could use baby socks with snowflakes or stars on them for the snowman's hat.
Instead of the cotton wool, you could use a third pair of baby socks.
