Sock Skeleton

Make a spooky, humanoid version of the traditional sock monkey. You'll need a pair of crew socks, needle, thread, scissors, stuffing material, and a laundry marker or fabric paint marker.

Step 1 Sock #1- the body and legs of the skeleton

Turn sock #1 inside out and flatten it so that the heel is facing you. Make a cut from the cuff of the sock to the point where the heel starts and round the ends where the "feet" will be.

Hahaha, this is great. I was trying to find a way to make a simple rag doll or something and this is the only thing I've come across so far that is simple enough for me to do and still look the way I envision it.

Very cool idea! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Now I want to make one, only with a friendly face for Day of the Dead.

dude, in a good way, i promice, this is kinda distubingly cool. i mean ur drawing technique is like Karen Yang. at the awards cerimony at scholl, she got 11. yea, wow, right? well anyways.....maybe u should use ur amazing skill for a cooler (even tho it can't get much cooler) kinda thing...like an alien or.....maybe an Obbama, so u can get ur airsoft gun or bb gun and shoot his head off! that would be sweeet, or Hillary CLinton, =P yucky
well have fun wuth wat eva u wanna do

Man this would be a fun science project!! Wonder if I can teach my 7th graders how to sew.... (-:

Sick, man I gotta try this! but I think i'm going to color it black and make the bones white, it might be hard but it will probably be cooler

[rupamagic]

Maybe you should just start with black socks and use white paint? ;-)
