3 Brilliantly Frugal Ways To Use Old Mismatched Sock💗

Sunday, February 19, 2017

If you’ve ever done laundry, you’ve surely experienced the missing sock dilemma. You know, when you put a pair of socks into the dryer but end up with only one. Instead of throwing out those mismatched socks, you can easily turn them into any number of wonderful DIY crafts.

There are so many different things that you can make with those orphaned socks. From toys to coin purses and even clothes for your little dogs, you’ll surely find something in here that will help you to 
put those single socks to good use. These are some of the most creative uses I have ever seen for socks.

If you’re lucky enough to never have missing socks, be sure to check out this great tutorial on folding socks to save space. If you are like the rest of us though, and you have several single socks that have lost their forever mates, I’ve got a nice little collection of projects for you. Let’s grab those leftover socks and make some wonderful things. I can’t wait to get started.



1. Arm Warmers
Whether you have a pair of socks that are worn down or you have a couple of mismatched ones, you can turn them into these great arm warmers. Just a few cuts around the toe area and the kids can keep extra warm when they’re playing in the snow. Fuzzy, thick socks work best for these.


2. Bean Bags



 Making bean bags out of mismatched socks is a great idea, and a good way to add some fun to your life. There are so many games that require bean bags and you can easily sew those socks into great game pieces. Use a sewing machine if you want but you could totally sew these by hand. Fill with pinto beans or any other cheap filler.

3. Coffee Mug Cozy



You can easily turn those old socks into these amazing DIY coffee mug cozies. I love this idea – mostly because I’m a huge coffee fan. You just cut the sock and if you want, sew in the edges. The socks just slip right over your mug and help to keep your coffee or tea warm while keeping your hands from getting burned.
