Good friends are like pretty flowers… A pretty flower needs a pretty vase… Or some other nonsense. Anyhow, the clock is ticking and it’s time to level up your gift-making game. Meet the sock vase!

Good friends are like pretty flowers… A pretty flower needs a pretty vase… Or some other nonsense. Anyhow, the clock is ticking and it’s time to level up your gift-making game. Meet the sock vase!

MATERIALS:

THE GUIDE:

1 - You’ll need a vase. Did you think we’ll teach you how to make one? Nah, recycling is the real deal.

2 - Get a sock too, here it would probably be nicer with a new one.

3 - Stuff the vase into the sock using the ‘’ a boa that swallowed an elephant principle’’.

4 - Cut off the excess of material and glue it at the bottom.

5 - Done. It’s up to you if you give it away with a bouquet or not.

PS. Don’t know anyone who likes having flowers around? Well, a Happy Socks gift box is an ok option too…

There’s no rest from the wicked holiday frenzy. But if it’s the thought that counts, we’ve got you. You still have time to make something pretty close to your grandma’s knitted creations: the world’s longest sock scarf.

MATERIALS:

THE GUIDE:

1- Prepare some (preferably new and clean) socks. Get some hot glue or a thread and needle.

2- Get off your phone for 2 minutes a day and use your hands for something else.

3- The ceremony begins: heel to heel, toe to toe or mix’n’match.

4 - Keep on adding until December 24th!

Fun fact: the average length of our 41-46 size socks is 23 cm, so if you add one sock a day, your scarf will be 529 cm long by the Holidays. That’s the length of two giraffes’ necks – who wouldn’t like it?
