Work Sock Long Johns

This is a fun way to keep your friends and family warm.

Just making these now for Christmas.

Wool socks fashioned into a tiny pair of long johns.

Attach this poem to your project!

Here are some long johns 

They may be too small 

In fact I don't think 

They will fit you at all. 

So remove all the buttons 

And snip off the threads 

And you will have two pairs

Of work socks instead! 

Christmas Elf Project

I made just a few of these cute little guys last year for Christmas.

The elves are made using felt and wooden alphabet blocks.

I found that they were hard to display - so I came up with an inexpensive idea that seems to do the trick.

The display stand was made using styrofoam packaging pieces that were layered then glued together.

The house was created from cutting card stock.

I then glued to a piece of corrugated cardboard from a wine box divider.

I used 2 felting needles to secure the cardboard to the styrofoam - 

When the needles are removed the backing can lay flat and this makes it easy to transport.
