WHISKERS AWAYThe cat’s out of the bag—leftover pieces are meant for making, not tossing. Think tiny (our kitten is 5” tall), and the sockabilities are endless.

SWEET TOOTHDetail work calls for dainty embroidery floss over bulky sock pieces—see our cinnamon-roll glaze and cupcake-frosting embellishment.

INSIDER INFOWe used traditional, red-heel monkey socks (Crafts Dept.) in every project

shown and stuffed them with fiberfill. And the colors? Easy! Just buy fabric dye.

LOVE BUGThis match made in heaven is beginner friendly with no sewing required, so invite the kiddos to the craft table. Tip: The toe section is great face space.

MANE EVENTThese locks are easier than they look—pull strands through the sock with a yarn needle, and tie a knot in the middle. Now that’s a hairdo that doesn’t horse around.

TICKLED PINKThe cute factor is in the aww-inducing extras. You’re one stitch away from droopy ears and a chenille stem shy of a curlicue tail.

SPOT ONThe secret to good posture is all in his neck. Insert a piece of bendable doll-making armature—nose to tail—and he’s wide awake from playtime to bedtime.

NEST BEHAVIORA more-for-less moment that deserves a hoot-hoot-hooray: one pair of socks, two lovebirds. Tip: Try stacked buttons for the wisest eyes around.

REPTILE STYLEUnexpected colors can be instant smile-makers. Here, bold brights mean more silly than scary. Polka tongue: wire-edge ribbon.

DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO COMPLETE PROJECTS ALONE. ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED.

LET’S HANGHands made with hook-and-loop squares promise her plush pal will be ready for every adventure, sticking and unsticking wherever she goes.

SEA BEYONDImaginative play starts with a good DIY, so we combined trims and a novelty yarn

(it looks like tie-dyed fabric!) to create tentacles. The scuba-diving playtime is optional.
