Are you ready for Christmas? I sure am. I love Christmas, it is my favorite time of the year. I also love to make Christmas crafts. My home will be decorated with many of our homemade Christmas crafts. However, Christmas can be very busy and hectic, so I like super quick projects that will fit into my schedule. I have this thing for snowmen. I just love them and think they are just the cutest thing, so when I saw this snowman made with a tube sock and rice, I just had to make it and share with all of you. This is one of the quickest crafts and is easy enough for your small children to help with too. Here’s how to make a sock snowman!

How to Make a Sock Snowman

Supplies needed

  • 1 white sock, tube socks work best
  • Oatmeal for filler – rice, beans, or sand will also work
  • ribbon
  • 2 rubberbands
  • buttons, including 2 black buttons for eyes
  • something for the nose like the tip of a toothpick painted orange
  • hot glue gun
Directions:

Step 1:

  • Cut off the foot part of your sock. You will need the tube part to be the body of the snowman, the foot will be the hat.

Step 2:
  • Turn the tube part of your sock inside out and wrap a rubber band around the bottom of the sock.

Step 6:

  • Use the ribbon as the scarf, once you tie the ribbon around, you will have 2 snowballs formed.

Step 7:

  • Next hot glue your eyes, nose, buttons and other embellishments you want.

Step 8:

  • Cut the foot of the sock to your preference for the size of the hat. You can always use a colorful patterned sock for the hat.
And there you have it – the cutest, easiest, little snowman you’ll ever make!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
