Whether you have a pair of socks that are worn down or you have a couple of mismatched ones, you can turn them into these great arm warmers. Just a few cuts around the toe area and the kids can keep extra warm when they\u2019re playing in the snow. Fuzzy, thick socks work best for these.\n
2. Bean Bags\n
Credit: alittletipsy\nMaking bean bags out of mismatched socks is a great idea, and a good way to add some fun to your life. There are so many games that require bean bags and you can easily sew those socks into great game pieces. Use a sewing machine if you want but you could totally sew these by hand. Fill with pinto beans or any other cheap filler.\n
3. Coffee Mug Cozy\n
Credit: mommypotamus\nYou can easily turn those old socks into these amazing DIY coffee mug cozies. I love this idea \u2013 mostly because I\u2019m a huge coffee fan. You just cut the sock and if you want, sew in the edges. The socks just slip right over your mug and help to keep your coffee or tea warm while keeping your hands from getting burned.\n
4. DIY Sock Chia Pet\n
Credit: communityplaythings\nHow adorable is this? It\u2019s a DIY chia pet that you make from an old sock. Just put grass seed and dirt into a sock, tie it off, and then use push pins to hold your buttons on to create the face. The grass will grow out the top and look like hair. Just keep the grass damp by watering a bit each day and his hair will grow in no time.\n
5. DIY Dog Chew Toy\n
Credit: ehow\nDog toys can be so expensive, although they do beat having little puppies chewing up all your stuff. A better way is to just use an old sock to make little pup his own chew toy. I\u2019ve done this with an empty water bottle, which is great because they love the crackling sound. You can also use a tennis ball and tie it up in the sock to give him a really good pull toy.\n
6. Doughnut Play Food\n
Credit: rookno17\nLittle girls love playing house and that means cooking up delicious pretend meals. Those food toys can be a bit expensive though \u2013 and they\u2019re not always safe for little ones. You can turn old socks into these great doughnuts which are cheap and easy to make, and they\u2019re really soft so they\u2019re perfect for girls of all ages. You\u2019ll also have a blast decorating these.\n
7. Door Draft Stopper\n
Credit: onegoodthingbyjillee\nIf you live in an area that gets cold during winter, you may notice your electric bill rising. Part of that rise could be due to drafts coming in your door. You can easily remedy that problem with some old socks and quilt batting. Just fill the socks with batting, sew them together and place in front of your door to stop those drafts in their tracks.\n
8. Potpourri Sachets\n
Credit: anexerciseinfrugality\nThe toe ends of your old mismatched socks are perfect for creating these little potpourri sachets to bring wonderful scents to your drawers and closets. You can use potpourri \u2013 or actually I use Downy Unstoppables instead of potpourri. The scent seems to last much longer. Just snip off the toe ends of your socks, fill with your chosen scent maker, and then tie it all up.\n
9. Bean Bag Neck Pillow\n
Credit: livestrong\nA neck pillow is so wonderful for long car rides or flights. You can also use them when you\u2019re just sitting around at home relaxing, and you don\u2019t even have to spend $20 to buy one. Just fill old socks with beans or rice and you can microwave these for a few minutes before you use them to help melt away all that stress.\n
10. Hobby Horse\n
Children love hobby horses and you can create one in under an hour, and let your little one help design it. You use an old sock for the head and then add a few embellishments. This is a great project for toddlers ages four and up, and makes a wonderful toy that kids are going to love for years to come.\n
11. DIY Leg Warmers\n
Credit: flickr\nLeg warmers have definitely made a comeback from the 1980\u2019s and you can easily make your own with some old mismatched socks. You just cut the toes off your socks and you\u2019re basically done. Or, if you don\u2019t have matching socks, you could use pieces of different socks and just sew them together to create a matching pattern.\n
12. Long Winter Gloves\n
Credit: rufflesandstuff\nYou don\u2019t have to throw out those single socks \u2013 you can use them to create these gorgeous long winter gloves. The great thing about this is you don\u2019t even need matching socks. You just use the tops, so they can have holes in the toes and they\u2019re still perfect for this project. Since you\u2019re only using a bit of the sock, you can create matching gloves even if you just have single socks in your drawer.\n
13. Cute Coin Purse\n
Credit: repeatcrafterme\nThis project is for turning a baby sock into a coin purse, which is really adorable, but you could easily do this with larger socks, too. You basically just sew a coin purse clasp to the sock and you\u2019re all done. You know you have tons of baby socks that lost their mates years ago \u2013 now you can turn them all into adorable coin purses. These are great gifts for girls and women of all ages, too.\n
14. DIY Sock Frog\n
Credit: craftster\nOkay, this little sock frog is just about the most adorable thing you could do with a single sock. If you have a green sock that\u2019s great, but you could honestly make him out of any color that you have on hand. The trick is in the stuffing and sewing, which is really easy. This would make such a wonderful nursery gift or a new toy for your little one.\n
15. Sock Ball\n
Credit: recycle-crafts\nThis sock ball is geometric and it looks complicated to make but it really isn\u2019t. You\u2019ll need to cut and measure a few times, but overall, this is a project that you could easily finish in an hour or so. Your little ones will adore playing with it and you could use socks of different colors to make it really fun and colorful.\n
16. Easy Pin Cushion\n
Credit: unfortunatelyoh\nThis little sock pin cushion will only take you about 10 minutes to complete. This is a great idea for all types of socks, especially if you sew a lot. You\u2019ll need extra pin cushions, right? There\u2019s just some cutting, folding, and sewing required, and that\u2019s about it. This is a great project for teens who may be learning to sew and maybe want their own sewing supplies.\n
17. DIY Sock Pot Holders\n
Credit: curbly\nThis project is great even if some of your socks are worn and torn. You cut the socks into strips and then use a weaving loom to create the pot holders. Incidentally, you can pick up a plastic weaving loom at the Dollar Store in the kids\u2019 toy section for around a dollar or so. Then you can make loads of pot holders and even give them out to your friends as gifts.\n
18. Easy Sock Doggie Scarf\n
Credit: offbeathome\nYour dogs like to be warm \u2013 and stylish \u2013 just as much as you do. If you tend to take your little furry friends outdoors during colder weather, a scarf may be in order.

19. DIY Sock Animals\n
Credit: daniellesplace\nHere\u2019s another great toy that you can make from those mismatched socks. These DIY sock animals are so easy to create and your little ones are going to love them.

There are so many wonderful animals that you can make from socks \u2013 dogs, cats, caterpillars, octopus, and so many others!\n
20. Cute Sock Monkey\n
Credit: instructables\nHow about another animal that you can make for the kids? This little sock monkey is probably my favorite. Sock monkeys are such classic toys and they are so much easier to make than you may think. You can make an entire monkey family if you have enough socks available, and little ones always love sock monkeys.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

How adorable is this? It\u2019s a DIY chia pet that you make from an old sock. Just put grass seed and dirt into a sock, tie it off, and then use push pins to hold your buttons on to create the face. The grass will grow out the top and look like hair. Just keep the grass damp by watering a bit each day and his hair will grow in no time.\n
5. DIY Dog Chew Toy\nCredit: ehow\nDog toys can be so expensive, although they do beat having little puppies chewing up all your stuff. A better way is to just use an old sock to make little pup his own chew toy. I\u2019ve done this with an empty water bottle, which is great because they love the crackling sound. You can also use a tennis ball and tie it up in the sock to give him a really good pull toy.\n
6. Doughnut Play Food\nCredit: rookno17\nLittle girls love playing house and that means cooking up delicious pretend meals. Those food toys can be a bit expensive though \u2013 and they\u2019re not always safe for little ones. You can turn old socks into these great doughnuts which are cheap and easy to make, and they\u2019re really soft so they\u2019re perfect for girls of all ages. You\u2019ll also have a blast decorating these.\n
7. Door Draft Stopper\nCredit: onegoodthingbyjillee\nIf you live in an area that gets cold during winter, you may notice your electric bill rising. Part of that rise could be due to drafts coming in your door. You can easily remedy that problem with some old socks and quilt batting. Just fill the socks with batting, sew them together and place in front of your door to stop those drafts in their tracks.\n
8. Potpourri Sachets\nCredit: anexerciseinfrugality\nThe toe ends of your old mismatched socks are perfect for creating these little potpourri sachets to bring wonderful scents to your drawers and closets. You can use potpourri \u2013 or actually I use Downy Unstoppables instead of potpourri. The scent seems to last much longer. Just snip off the toe ends of your socks, fill with your chosen scent maker, and then tie it all up.\n
9. Bean Bag Neck Pillow\nCredit: livestrong\nA neck pillow is so wonderful for long car rides or flights. You can also use them when you\u2019re just sitting around at home relaxing, and you don\u2019t even have to spend $20 to buy one. Just fill old socks with beans or rice and you can microwave these for a few minutes before you use them to help melt away all that stress.\n
10. Hobby Horse\n
Children love hobby horses and you can create one in under an hour, and let your little one help design it. You use an old sock for the head and then add a few embellishments. This is a great project for toddlers ages four and up, and makes a wonderful toy that kids are going to love for years to come.\n
11. DIY Leg Warmers\nCredit: flickr\nLeg warmers have definitely made a comeback from the 1980\u2019s and you can easily make your own with some old mismatched socks. You just cut the toes off your socks and you\u2019re basically done. Or, if you don\u2019t have matching socks, you could use pieces of different socks and just sew them together to create a matching pattern.\n
12. Long Winter Gloves\nCredit: rufflesandstuff\nYou don\u2019t have to throw out those single socks \u2013 you can use them to create these gorgeous long winter gloves. The great thing about this is you don\u2019t even need matching socks. You just use the tops, so they can have holes in the toes and they\u2019re still perfect for this project. Since you\u2019re only using a bit of the sock, you can create matching gloves even if you just have single socks in your drawer.\n
13. Cute Coin Purse\nCredit: repeatcrafterme\nThis project is for turning a baby sock into a coin purse, which is really adorable, but you could easily do this with larger socks, too. You basically just sew a coin purse clasp to the sock and you\u2019re all done. You know you have tons of baby socks that lost their mates years ago \u2013 now you can turn them all into adorable coin purses. These are great gifts for girls and women of all ages, too.\n
14. DIY Sock Frog\nCredit: craftster\nOkay, this little sock frog is just about the most adorable thing you could do with a single sock. If you have a green sock that\u2019s great, but you could honestly make him out of any color that you have on hand. The trick is in the stuffing and sewing, which is really easy. This would make such a wonderful nursery gift or a new toy for your little one.\n
15. Sock Ball\nCredit: recycle-crafts\nThis sock ball is geometric and it looks complicated to make but it really isn\u2019t. You\u2019ll need to cut and measure a few times, but overall, this is a project that you could easily finish in an hour or so. Your little ones will adore playing with it and you could use socks of different colors to make it really fun and colorful.\n
16. Easy Pin Cushion\nCredit: unfortunatelyoh\nThis little sock pin cushion will only take you about 10 minutes to complete. This is a great idea for all types of socks, especially if you sew a lot. You\u2019ll need extra pin cushions, right? There\u2019s just some cutting, folding, and sewing required, and that\u2019s about it. This is a great project for teens who may be learning to sew and maybe want their own sewing supplies.\n
17. DIY Sock Pot Holders\nCredit: curbly\nThis project is great even if some of your socks are worn and torn. You cut the socks into strips and then use a weaving loom to create the pot holders. Incidentally, you can pick up a plastic weaving loom at the Dollar Store in the kids\u2019 toy section for around a dollar or so. Then you can make loads of pot holders and even give them out to your friends as gifts.\n
18. Easy Sock Doggie Scarf\nCredit: offbeathome\nYour dogs like to be warm \u2013 and stylish \u2013 just as much as you do. If you tend to take your little furry friends outdoors during colder weather, a scarf may be in order. You can make such a cute little scarf with a knee sock and a bit of sewing. Your dog will thank you for the warmth and you\u2019ll have a ball showing him off in his little doggie scarf.\n
19. DIY Sock Animals\nCredit: daniellesplace\nHere\u2019s another great toy that you can make from those mismatched socks. These DIY sock animals are so easy to create and your little ones are going to love them. Plus, you can make any of the animals for less than $2 if you have the sock, and that\u2019s including the eyes and nose pieces. There are so many wonderful animals that you can make from socks \u2013 dogs, cats, caterpillars, octopus, and so many others!\n
20. Cute Sock Monkey\nCredit: instructables\nHow about another animal that you can make for the kids? This little sock monkey is probably my favorite. Sock monkeys are such classic toys and they are so much easier to make than you may think. You can make an entire monkey family if you have enough socks available, and little ones always love sock monkeys.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

If you live in an area that gets cold during winter, you may notice your electric bill rising. Part of that rise could be due to drafts coming in your door. You can easily remedy that problem with some old socks and quilt batting. Just fill the socks with batting, sew them together and place in front of your door to stop those drafts in their tracks.\n
8. Potpourri Sachets\nCredit: anexerciseinfrugality\nThe toe ends of your old mismatched socks are perfect for creating these little potpourri sachets to bring wonderful scents to your drawers and closets. You can use potpourri \u2013 or actually I use Downy Unstoppables instead of potpourri. The scent seems to last much longer. Just snip off the toe ends of your socks, fill with your chosen scent maker, and then tie it all up.\n
9. Bean Bag Neck Pillow\nCredit: livestrong\nA neck pillow is so wonderful for long car rides or flights. You can also use them when you\u2019re just sitting around at home relaxing, and you don\u2019t even have to spend $20 to buy one. Just fill old socks with beans or rice and you can microwave these for a few minutes before you use them to help melt away all that stress.\n
10. Hobby Horse\n
Children love hobby horses and you can create one in under an hour, and let your little one help design it. You use an old sock for the head and then add a few embellishments. This is a great project for toddlers ages four and up, and makes a wonderful toy that kids are going to love for years to come.\n
11. DIY Leg Warmers\nCredit: flickr\nLeg warmers have definitely made a comeback from the 1980\u2019s and you can easily make your own with some old mismatched socks. You just cut the toes off your socks and you\u2019re basically done. Or, if you don\u2019t have matching socks, you could use pieces of different socks and just sew them together to create a matching pattern.\n
12. Long Winter Gloves\nCredit: rufflesandstuff\nYou don\u2019t have to throw out those single socks \u2013 you can use them to create these gorgeous long winter gloves. The great thing about this is you don\u2019t even need matching socks. You just use the tops, so they can have holes in the toes and they\u2019re still perfect for this project. Since you\u2019re only using a bit of the sock, you can create matching gloves even if you just have single socks in your drawer.\n
13. Cute Coin Purse\nCredit: repeatcrafterme\nThis project is for turning a baby sock into a coin purse, which is really adorable, but you could easily do this with larger socks, too. You basically just sew a coin purse clasp to the sock and you\u2019re all done. You know you have tons of baby socks that lost their mates years ago \u2013 now you can turn them all into adorable coin purses. These are great gifts for girls and women of all ages, too.\n
14. DIY Sock Frog\nCredit: craftster\nOkay, this little sock frog is just about the most adorable thing you could do with a single sock. If you have a green sock that\u2019s great, but you could honestly make him out of any color that you have on hand. The trick is in the stuffing and sewing, which is really easy. This would make such a wonderful nursery gift or a new toy for your little one.\n
15. Sock Ball\nCredit: recycle-crafts\nThis sock ball is geometric and it looks complicated to make but it really isn\u2019t. You\u2019ll need to cut and measure a few times, but overall, this is a project that you could easily finish in an hour or so. Your little ones will adore playing with it and you could use socks of different colors to make it really fun and colorful.\n
16. Easy Pin Cushion\nCredit: unfortunatelyoh\nThis little sock pin cushion will only take you about 10 minutes to complete. This is a great idea for all types of socks, especially if you sew a lot. You\u2019ll need extra pin cushions, right? There\u2019s just some cutting, folding, and sewing required, and that\u2019s about it. This is a great project for teens who may be learning to sew and maybe want their own sewing supplies.\n
17. DIY Sock Pot Holders\nCredit: curbly\nThis project is great even if some of your socks are worn and torn. You cut the socks into strips and then use a weaving loom to create the pot holders. Incidentally, you can pick up a plastic weaving loom at the Dollar Store in the kids\u2019 toy section for around a dollar or so. Then you can make loads of pot holders and even give them out to your friends as gifts.\n
18. Easy Sock Doggie Scarf\nCredit: offbeathome\nYour dogs like to be warm \u2013 and stylish \u2013 just as much as you do. If you tend to take your little furry friends outdoors during colder weather, a scarf may be in order. You can make such a cute little scarf with a knee sock and a bit of sewing. Your dog will thank you for the warmth and you\u2019ll have a ball showing him off in his little doggie scarf.\n
19. DIY Sock Animals\nCredit: daniellesplace\nHere\u2019s another great toy that you can make from those mismatched socks. These DIY sock animals are so easy to create and your little ones are going to love them. Plus, you can make any of the animals for less than $2 if you have the sock, and that\u2019s including the eyes and nose pieces. There are so many wonderful animals that you can make from socks \u2013 dogs, cats, caterpillars, octopus, and so many others!\n
20. Cute Sock Monkey\nCredit: instructables\nHow about another animal that you can make for the kids? This little sock monkey is probably my favorite. Sock monkeys are such classic toys and they are so much easier to make than you may think. You can make an entire monkey family if you have enough socks available, and little ones always love sock monkeys.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Incidentally, you can pick up a plastic weaving loom at the Dollar Store in the kids\u2019 toy section for around a dollar or so. Then you can make loads of pot holders and even give them out to your friends as gifts.\n
18. Easy Sock Doggie Scarf\nCredit: offbeathome\nYour dogs like to be warm \u2013 and stylish \u2013 just as much as you do. If you tend to take your little furry friends outdoors during colder weather, a scarf may be in order. You can make such a cute little scarf with a knee sock and a bit of sewing. Your dog will thank you for the warmth and you\u2019ll have a ball showing him off in his little doggie scarf.\n
19. DIY Sock Animals\nCredit: daniellesplace\nHere\u2019s another great toy that you can make from those mismatched socks. These DIY sock animals are so easy to create and your little ones are going to love them. Plus, you can make any of the animals for less than $2 if you have the sock, and that\u2019s including the eyes and nose pieces. There are so many wonderful animals that you can make from socks \u2013 dogs, cats, caterpillars, octopus, and so many others!\n
20. Cute Sock Monkey\nCredit: instructables\nHow about another animal that you can make for the kids? This little sock monkey is probably my favorite. Sock monkeys are such classic toys and they are so much easier to make than you may think. You can make an entire monkey family if you have enough socks available, and little ones always love sock monkeys.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

You don\u2019t have to throw out those single socks \u2013 you can use them to create these gorgeous long winter gloves. The great thing about this is you don\u2019t even need matching socks. You just use the tops, so they can have holes in the toes and they\u2019re still perfect for this project. Since you\u2019re only using a bit of the sock, you can create matching gloves even if you just have single socks in your drawer.\n
13. Cute Coin Purse\nCredit: repeatcrafterme\nThis project is for turning a baby sock into a coin purse, which is really adorable, but you could easily do this with larger socks, too. You basically just sew a coin purse clasp to the sock and you\u2019re all done. You know you have tons of baby socks that lost their mates years ago \u2013 now you can turn them all into adorable coin purses. These are great gifts for girls and women of all ages, too.\n
14. DIY Sock Frog\nCredit: craftster\nOkay, this little sock frog is just about the most adorable thing you could do with a single sock. If you have a green sock that\u2019s great, but you could honestly make him out of any color that you have on hand. The trick is in the stuffing and sewing, which is really easy. This would make such a wonderful nursery gift or a new toy for your little one.\n
15. Sock Ball\nCredit: recycle-crafts\nThis sock ball is geometric and it looks complicated to make but it really isn\u2019t. You\u2019ll need to cut and measure a few times, but overall, this is a project that you could easily finish in an hour or so. Your little ones will adore playing with it and you could use socks of different colors to make it really fun and colorful.\n
16. Easy Pin Cushion\nCredit: unfortunatelyoh\nThis little sock pin cushion will only take you about 10 minutes to complete. This is a great idea for all types of socks, especially if you sew a lot. You\u2019ll need extra pin cushions, right? There\u2019s just some cutting, folding, and sewing required, and that\u2019s about it. This is a great project for teens who may be learning to sew and maybe want their own sewing supplies.\n

This project is great even if some of your socks are worn and torn. You cut the socks into strips and then use a weaving loom to create the pot holders. Incidentally, you can pick up a plastic weaving loom at the Dollar Store in the kids\u2019 toy section for around a dollar or so. Then you can make loads of pot holders and even give them out to your friends as gifts.\n

Your dog will thank you for the warmth and you\u2019ll have a ball showing him off in his little doggie scarf.\n
