Cute Sock Stick Horse - Tutorial

[Niamh]

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I'm cross-posting it in three places.

This is the first tutorial I've ever done. It's for sock stick horse - really easy, really fast, really cute and *really* inexpensive. It would make a fun Christmas present. My four 1/2 year old plays with hers all the time, and my 2 year old loves hers.

I bought a pack of 10 pairs of cotton socks for $6, a sheet of 4 buttons for 50 cents, two $1 dowels and used 1/2 a bag of $3 batting for two horses. I used fabric and ribbon scraps I had. So each horse cost me $3.10. You could do it even cheaper if you used all items that you had on hand already.

I'm glad you liked it - they're so easy. TBB, I liked the pics you posted of your finished horses on the other thread. Well done!

Those are great!

And it would be easy enough to make them into unicorns with a simple addition of a horn.

Or Dinosaurs!!!

Off to find my mismatched socks!

OH geez, I didn't realize there are two threads on this and that I had posted on both. I thought my first post had gotten eaten. That has happen to me several times lately.
Anyways, the tut. was great, so easy and I'm in love with the horses I made. I also want to tell you that I this has been my favorite craft project ever!!! I have done a lot of craft projects. I dont know why but I just love it. So easy, practically free and the end result is just so fun and satisfying. so THANK YOU again and again and again. I want to make more...can anyone say...new addiction???
