DIY Cupcake Socks - A Fun Valentine's Day Gift that is Easy for Kids to Create!

DIY Cupcake Socks - A Fun Valentine's Day Gift 

If you follow regularly, you know that we love Bombas socks because they are a socially conscious company that offers premium socks. Putting on a fresh pair of Bombas socks is the best! The cozy design and soft fabric feels great. Another thing that feels great is knowing that for every pair of socks that you buy, they donate a pair. Clean socks are one of the top needs for homeless shelters. Nursing home residents often love new socks too. It's nice to know that when you order socks for your family that you are helping others in need. In honor of Valentine's Day, I will share a fun craft to create Cupcake Socks that are fun surprises for your children's teachers, nursing home patients, homeless shelters, and more.   Whether you want to put them into gift bags or add the Cupcake Socks to a meal tray as a fun surprise, the recipients are sure to smile.  Doesn't everyone love clean and cozy socks in February?  In today's post, I'll share two different ways to make Cupcake Socks! (This project is so easy that even my preschooler was able to help.)

DIY Cupcake Socks - A Fun Valentine's Day Gift  - Version 1 with cupcake liners

Supplies

• Your favorite socks - we love multi-colored Bombas 5-packs such as the Bombas Men's Tri-Block Marl Ankle Sock 6-Pack, Bombas Women's Tri-Block Marl Ankle Sock 6-Pack, and Bombas Youth Solid Neon Tipping Ankle Sock 6-Pack
• Cupcake liners
• Circle shaped stickers
• Optional: cellophane bags and ribbon

Directions

1. Roll the socks into a cupcake shape and discretely tape them closed. It helps to place the tape closer to the bottom so that the part that will stick out of the cupcake liner doesn't have tape on it.

2. Place the socks into the cupcake liner.

3. Add a colorful circle shaped sticker to the top center of the Cupcake Sock.

4. Optionally place in cellophane bags and tie shut.

If you prefer to use card stock instead of cupcake liners, we have an alternative way to make this craft!

• 1 sheet of 8/12"x11" red card stock for every 5 Cupcake Socks

Directions

1. Cut the card stock lengthwise into 5 strips.

2. Tape the card stock strips into cylinders (similar to the shape of a cupcake liner.

3. Roll the socks into a cupcake shape and discretely tape them closed. It helps to place the tape closer to the bottom so that the part that will stick out of the cupcake liner doesn't have tape on it.

4. Place the rolled up sock into the red card stock that you shaped into a cupcake liner.

5. Use your creativity to shape the sock into a pretty pattern. We love the colorful Bombas socks for this craft since the pops of color look nice for this project.

6. Add a colorful circle shaped sticker to the top center of the Cupcake Sock.

7. Optionally place in cellophane bags and tie shut.
