This is a novel way to give sports socks at Christmas time, using a pair of socks and a roll of toilet tissue.
Approximate Time: 20 minutes or less

Supplies:
1 pair white tube socks, either plain or with stripe around top
1 roll toilet tissue
2 black buttons with shanks for eyes
red, pink, or orange button for nose
3 buttons for vest
scrap of ribbon for scarf
thread and needle
Instructions:
Slip roll of toilet tissue down into very end of one of the tube socks.
Roll up other sock and insert into first sock so that it sits on toilet tissue, forming snowman's head.
Fold down top of tube sock to form stocking cap.
Make "pompom" by tightening top using an elastic band or thread.
Sew on eyes and nose, also three buttons down the front.
Tie on a scrap of material or ribbon for the scarf.
(If using plain white socks, a tiny sprig of holly fastened to the side of the stocking cap looks nice.)

Have any old socks? Do not toss them out, but be sure they're washed and clean. You can make this cute snowman plushie, perfect to give as a gift, inexpensive project for a stocking stuffer, or for your children (no sewing required.)
I wanted to make a little snowman out of a child's sock. I plan to hang it on a gift later on, or on the tree. I stuffed the sock with scraps of fabric, then tied off three parts with embroidery thread.

Finally, I added a bow. I also turned another plush ornament, which was not a snowman, into a snowman.

This has to be the most fun craft I have made yet! It is so very easy, a great craft to do with the kids! It is funny when I show people and tell them it is only a single tube sock filled with rice.
