There are many instructions on the Internet of how to make a “snowman” from a sock. I found the best kind of sock is a women’s ankle sock for the snowman and children’s colorful sock for cap & scarf.

You will also need beads for eyes and nose, string or heavy thread, rice ( two 1 lb. Bags will make three snowmen) glue and any other stickers or decoration you like.

Here is my version of the “sock snowman”

1. Cut the top of an ankle sock off evenly across the top.
2. Fill the sock 1” from the top. Gather the top and using a heavy thread tie off as shown in picture.
3. Tie around the middle of the sock to make the top and bottom of the snowman.
4. Use small black and orange beads for eyes and nose…glue on face. You can anchor the beads and trims with straight pins

Next make a cap & scarf:

5. Cut the top off a child’s decorative ankle sock…cut even across. Tuck under the edge and fold up to make a cap.
6. Cut the other sock along the sides, leaving the toe fold. This will make a matching scarf.
7. Glue buttons onto the bottom part of snowman.
8. Add pompoms or other decorations
