How to make your own plush toy from a sock

Watch this episode of Go Get Arty to follow the video tutorial

Note: An adult needs to supervise this craft. Please be careful with scissors

  • Take your first fluffy sock and pull it over a bottle for stability.

  • Glue stuffing around 3/4 of the sock's length and then pull the second sock over the top. 

  • Cut the loose end of the top sock, take everything off the bottle and cut the loose end off the bottom sock at the same height as the top sock. 

  • Time to decorate the face! You can use leftover pieces of sock, as well as pompoms, felt, googly eyes, whatever you like. 

  • Now, to make the reversible side. Flip the sock inside out and make a second face that's different from the first face. This could be a different animal, a scary or happy face, anything will look amazing.

  • You can make a tail, wings, horn or another body part with leftover sock and stuffing pieces, just glue them to your cute toy where you like.

  • Let the glue dry until your plush toy is ready to cuddle, play with and turn inside out.
