I saw a picture of a sock snowman on a blog I read, and my heart was immediately filled with joy! I have a pile of Matthew's old socks that have holes in the heels, and I suddenly knew what one of them was going to be used for. (Lest I leave you wondering, my socks get holes too, but they are better able to be used as handkerchiefs when we are moping around the house with a cold.)
I grabbed the old socks, and dug into my bag of small scraps leftover from projects. I used a couple pieces of thread to tie his belly off, and then used a scrap of the old sheet used to make my sundress to make a scarf. Markers were used to make the face, and voila! Adorable little snowman! Oh, the little gray hat is complements of the grey toe that Matthew's sock has.
I'll probably make a few more of these in my lifetime... Buttons might be used in the future. Fabric scraps might also be used to make fun hats.
*crafting bliss*

Cute! What did you fill him with? More old socks?
Old socks would certainly have worked; however, I have a bag of fabric scraps from sewing projects, so I used these scraps instead.
