How to Make the Sock Sheep Craft

- pencil
- scissors
- white socks
- felt material (beige, black, and pink)
- needle
- thread
- fiberfill
- silk ribbon
Step by Step Tutorial
The Body
Take a sock and add the stuffing.
Cut the excess off the stock.
Sew up the sock.
Make sure you sew it up reasonably well!
A final stitch to make sure everything is sown in nice and well.
The Face
Take the fabric and draw a circle.
The Eyes
Take the black fabric to start making the eyes.
Draw two tiny circles.
Cut out the eyes and sew them on the face.
Create some eye-lashes with the thread too!
The Nose
Draw a circle on a pink piece of fabric.
This will be the nose.
Then sew the nose to the face.
The Mouth
Go ahead and stitch a little mouth onto the sheep.
The Cheek Blush
Take a Q-tip and create a slight blush on the cheeks of the sheep’s face.
Sew the face of the sheep onto the sock.
The Ears
Cut out two ears from the same fabric as you used for the face.
Pinch the bottom parts and sew the ear to create a 3D effect.
You are now going to sew the ears onto the sheep.
Make sure the ears are sewn well onto the sheep.
Do this to both sides.
The Arms and Legs
Cut out an additional part of the sock to make arms and legs.
These can all be about the same size.
Go ahead and sew them together so they don’t come apart, but leave a tiny hole where you’ll put the stuffing in.
Add stuffing into each arm and leg.
Finish the sewing process.
In the end, you should have four arms and legs in total.
Go ahead and start sewing on the arms and legs.
The Bow
You can add the final touch of a blue or pink bow to the sheep’s neck.
This will give the sheep a little character.
Cut the excess of the bow off.
The final product is this adorable handmade Sock Sheep Craft.
We love how it turned out!
Don’t you?
You can create as many as you wish with different sock colors.
