How funny! Sock has many idioms, definitions, and can still be rather useful. Sock believes to come from the ancient word soccuses. Today socks have many roles. Thinking it would be useful to compile some useful ways to reuse socks.
1. Make a Sock Buddy-Sock Monkeys are a classic!
2. Recycled Dusters- Put a sock over your hand, spray some cleaner on the palm and dust away!
3. Door Draft Stopper- Using a tube sock, you can fill it with sand or rice and use them under your doors to stop the draft! (Energy saver)
4. Make Stylish Arm Warmers- Cut a hole in the toes of mismatched socks large enough to fit 4 fingers (your hand without the thumb) through. Then, cut out a small hole in the side for the thumb and stitch or use some fabric glue around the areas where you cut.
5. LoveSock for Male Iguanas- Place one sock inside the other sock, so they are double-layer thickness. Fill the sock with the rice. Don't fill it all the way full, but leave enough room so it is pliable, squishy, and has some give to it. Sew the opening several times with strong thread, so it won't rip easily or come unraveled. Place in microwave just long enough warm up.
Alright, alright one last thing before I "put a sock in it". For all you people who want to go walking and want a group to join this group is just for you!

Janine - I didn't realize there were so many different uses for socks. What a creative person you are. Looking forward to more interesting bits of information.

Yeah, this is pretty random and wonderful. When I came to your blog it gave me an "adult content" warning... you may check your settings.
ReplyDeleteThis is creative and whimsical. Edie's right, I didn't realize how far you could expand such a topic as socks? Looking forward to your next blog!
