How to Make a Sock Baby Doll

I have a fun craft for you today.  In this post I’m going to show you how to make a Sock Baby Doll.  That’s right…. it’s a baby doll made out of a sock.  This craft is a great way to put to use those socks that no longer have a match.  Plus, you probably have all the materials needed for this craft in your house… so no need to buy any more materials.  Give this sock baby doll to your best friend…. or better yet keep it for yourself.  The choice is yours.  So, let’s get started.

  1. Tis was a fun experiment… Plan n making a few more maybe. Kinda hard to do when you have an 18 month old running around trying to get your thread and all the pieces for the doll. So mines definitely nt perfect, but I think it adds to it:) I also gave her some hair and a little dress. Daddy’s sock made the doll and Mommy’s sock made the dress! My son loves it, but this ones for his baby sister!

    It won’t allow me to add a picture frm my iPad. But I’ll pin it on my board.
