Easy Sock Snowman Tutorial

How to Make a Snowman From Socks:

1. First, find a few white socks to use for your snowman body. We prefer men’s crew socks, but any white sock will work fine.

2. Next, cut the sock just above the heel.

3. Turn the sock inside out and tightly close the top of the sock using a rubber band.

4. Turn the sock right side out and fill with rice. I used a small measuring spoon, but a regular spoon also works. 

5. Once you’re happy with the size of your snowman, tie the top of your sock with a rubber band.

6. To form the body and head of the snowman, take another rubber band and tie it around the middle, a bit closer to the top (since you want the top part to be a little smaller for his head).

7. Now, it’s time to decorate your rice sock snowman! Cut the toe off a colored sock (we used grey) to create a small hat for him/her. You could also use the heel part of the sock, or a baby sock. Roll up the ends to create a rim. Feel free to secure it safely using a bit of hot glue, or just let the hat rest on his head.

8. To add a scarf, tie a piece of ribbon, fabric, or yarn around his neck. You could also cut a small piece of the colored sock if you want the hat and scarf to match.

9. Add buttons to your snowman using a hot glue gun or double-sided tape.

10. Once your snowman is decorated to your liking, it’s time to bring him to life! There are a few different ways you can add a face:

    • -Eyes: We used black sewing pins for the eyes. Other options include painting them on with fabric paint, drawing them on with permanent marker, or sewing on small black beads.
       
    • -Nose: We painted our nose on with orange fabric paint. Other options include: orange sewing pin, orange pom poms, orange painted toothpicks, orange marker, etc.
       
    • -Other ideas: you could always draw or paint on a mouth, use a pink crayon to add some rouge to the cheeks, or add toothpicks or sticks for arms. We added small pom poms to the hat, and I have also seen people use striped or argyle patterned socks for snowman clothing. The options are truly endless! Use whatever you have lying around the house – anything goes with these cute no-sew snowmen!
