HOW HARD IS IT TO MAKE A SNOWMAN OUT OF SOCKS?

This easy snowman sock craft is actually simple to create. This DIY project does NOT use rice, which I find better. (There’s less rice spillage to have to clean up after the crafting is done.)

HOW TO MAKE SOCK SNOWMAN WITHOUT RICE (Step by Step with Photos & Printable)

I can promise you that this sock snowman craft is fun to make. These male and female snowmen are unique and add a fun focal point to a room.

Make these more seasonal by using them as a simple winter decor in January, February, and March.

STEP 1: PREPARE THE SOCKS

Working with one sock at a time, fill the sock full, but not packed, with the polyfill. Using the rubber bands, section off the sock into fairly equal ⅓ sections.

Pull up an about ½ inch ball of sock and stuffing on each side of the toe end of the sock and, with the embroidery thread, tie a thread around the base of the pull-up and tie tightly,

Slide a bamboo skewer through the center of the sock, trimming it to be even with the opening of the snowman. 

Tug the edges of the opening of the sock toward the skewer and hot glue it in place, closing the bottom up.

STEP 2: DECORATE THE SOCKS

Make a tiny bow with the red ribbon and hot glue it in place in front of one ear, designating that snowman as Minnie (and thus a snowwoman). 

Cut a ½ inch wide section of red velvet about 8 inches long. Fold this rectangle in half longways and hot glue in place. Wrap this around the non-bow-adorned snowman just under the head and hot glue in place to make a scarf.

You can repeat this for the second snowman (Minnie) or you can use the red with white polka dots ribbon to make a scarf. If you want to add baubles to the ends of the scarves, you can use the neon green pom poms to make a teeny tiny mickey shape. I ultimately decided that the scarf wasn’t the look I was going for on Minnie.

steps for making a scarf for sock snowmen

Make a skirt for the Minnie snowwoman by folding your velvet in half, then drawing a 5-inch diameter quarter circle, with one end on the fold line. Then draw a parallel 3-inch diameter quarter circle on the fold line about 3 inches away. Then square off the end not on the fold line, about 5-inches from the fold line. 

Cut this rounded rectangle shape out then hem the edges, as necessary.

STEP 3: SHAPE THE SOCKS

Wrap this shape around the top of the middle and bottom balls of the Minnie sock snowwoman and hot glue in place along the back.

Cut thin tiny triangles from the orange craft foam and hot glue the triangle to the center of the head pointing off to one side.

Add two small black beads to each face above the carrot nose, 3 beads under the nose for a smile, and 3 beads down the front of the Mickey for buttons. Then display and enjoy!
