Day 6
Paper Socks
Can you hear
the bell ringing? The school bell that is.
Yep winter break is almost upon us but before that there will be plenty
of “Holiday” (Christmas) parties going on.
If your kids are anything like mine, they want gifts for everyone and something
nice for the teacher.
These little
paper socks are perfect. The kids can
help you put them together and they are so cute, everyone will want one.
The
paper is Little Yellow Bicycle but you can use anything you have on hand or
even plain cardstock.
Supplies
needed:
Favorite
printed Christmas cardstock
Scraps
of printed cardstock for trim
White
cardstock
Brown
or black ink
Ribbon
Elmer’s
school glue
Instructions:
(I
used my Silhouette to cut out the socks, trim and all the pieces. You could also
use a die cut, punch or trace them from paper.)
1. Cut the
socks out, you will need 2 mirrored pieces (a front and back)
2. Tape a small
loop of ribbon to the back of the front
sock piece.
3. Use the Elmer’s
glue and glue the front to the back of the stocking leaving the top open. Set
aside to dry.
4. Cut out a
cuff and a scalloped border.
5. Glue the
border to the cuff (I used my tape runner.)
6. Tie a ribbon
around the cuff, on the seam line.
7. Glue the
cuff to the sock.
8. Cut a
scalloped circle from printed cardstock
9. Cut a
smaller circle from white paper.
10.
Stamp a greeting on the circle or print it from your computer
before cutting the circle.
11.
Glue the words to the scalloped circle
12.
Add the scalloped circle with a foam pop dot.
The
sock is the perfect size to hold a candy cane, bite size candy bar or other
small treat.
So
grab some paper, scissors and you kids and make up a few of these this weekend.
