Favorite Pair of Socks

October 2nd, 2008 by admin

You know you have a favorite pair of socks; we all do. Sadly, one of
the pair is so worn that it has a hole in it. You loved those socks;
you would have lived in those socks if it was your choice. Now that
one sock is ruined, what do you do with the other sock? Should you put
it to waste and throw it away? Or is there something more creative you
could do with it?

Just because we live in a high-tech world does not mean that
old-fashioned sock puppets aren’t enjoyable; they are just as amusing
as they were years ago. It isn’t one bit expensive, and it doesn’t
even have to get messy like most crafty projects. All you really need
is a marker, or you could get more into it and use buttons or glitter
and sequins.

Simply slip the sock onto your hand and close your hand almost as if
you were making a fist; once you do that, all you have to do is work
your magic with the marker and the other decorative supplies that you
have chosen for your sock puppet. Don’t forget to give your sock eyes
so he or she can see the world around (since they are usually limited
to seeing the inside of your shoe or the inside of you sock drawer).
With a creative eye and a splash of color you can transform your once
useless sock into a puppet to entertain you for hours.

We don’t need computers or video games to keep us smiling; all we need
is an old sock and an imagination. Socks may seem like dull, useless
objects, but they can be so much more, all it takes is your mind’s
eye.
