Decorating for the holidays is always fun for the whole family. Each decoration or ornament offers memories that even pictures and video can’t capture exactly. The only thing that makes holiday decorations even more memorable and fun are if they are handmade by people you love.
Create Snowmen Crafts Using Socks and Buttons
There’s something special about snowmen. These adorable winter decorations can be created with just a bit of scrap fabric, buttons, rice grains, and socks. You probably have these things lying around the house anyways, so why not put them to use as an excellent Christmas decoration. Cut the sock in half. Tie the end with a rubber band (it’ll end up being the top of the snowman’s head). Open the sock, fill it with rice, and then use rubber bands to create a snowman shape. Use scrap fabric to make a scarf, and use buttons as desired. via darkroomanddearly
