DIY No-Sew Stuffed Sock Animals

What do you do with your odd socks? You know, those ones that mysteriously lost their mate in the dryer somehow? I usually hold onto them optimistically for a few weeks hoping the other one will turn up, but then they usually get shoved to the back of my drawer all alone. Here’s a better idea: why not turn those odd socks into cute DIY stuffed animals instead?

I made this cute trio of a rabbit, cat, and dog – aren’t they adorable? This project does not require any sewing, so with a bit of felt and hot glue you’ll be well on your way to a group of playful sock pets. Lucky enough to not have any odd socks hanging around? Buy a few pairs of colorful socks and use those instead. Let’s get crafting!
