If you’re all but certain that there is some kind of troll living within your dryer, eating single socks, you are not alone. It is a great mystery of the universe how we always seem to end up with one or two strays each laundry cycle. But rather than throwing those extra socks away, we suggest using them to decorate your home this winter with Sock Snowmen.

We spotted this great idea over at Then She Made, the website of crafty mama Amy. And can we just take a minute here to recognize how cute these are? Seriously.

This is a great project for kids and adults alike. It’s easy, it’s budget-friendly, and the result is something that you can display in your home all season long. Just imagine what a blast kids will have personalizing their own little snowman!

What you’ll need:
• White socks
• Colourful, decorative socks
• Rubber bands
• Twine/ribbon
• Buttons
• Something to make a nose (felt, kebab skewer, etc.)
• Glue gun
• Rice or beans to fill/add weight

You’ll find the complete instructions, as well as step-by-step photos, over at Then She Made. Looking for more fun craft projects for the whole family? Check out our craft section for some great ideas.
