If you have many pairs of socks, you can try to make a really nice toy for your kids. You will need an old sock, one brown pipe cleaner, two brown pom poms, two googly eyes, brown and black paint, paint brush, glue gun and wire clippers. Cut the pipe cleaner into 4 pieces. 2 pieces are 1″ inch long, 2 pieces are 2″ inches long. Bend the longer pieces in half to form the ears. With the glue gun, glue one end of the shorter pieces into the center of the pom poms. These are the giraffe horns. Get your paint and brush ready, and it should be slightly watery. If you’re using thicker paints, it will be much harder to get it to sink into the sock fibers. You can see the rest of the tutorial here.
