How to make a craft for February 23 from socks?

Many children love to fantasize and spend their time creating. February 23 is a great occasion to keep your child company in order to create together an original gift for dad or grandfather in honor of a significant date. Taking socks of different color variations, you can make a bright craft that a man will be delighted with! Let's find out what ideas for crafts from socks can be adopted.

By February 23, original gifts are created from ordinary socks: in the form of a tank, an airplane, soldiers in uniforms and other interesting military-themed gizmos. Hand-made crafts always win against the background of store goods, because they are exclusive. Most importantly, creating a gift from socks to your husband does not require a lot of time, and often all the necessary things are at hand: scissors, threads, needles.

The Party Tank can be crafted with just socks or with minor items such as beverage cans. And those who think that just a gift from socks is not enough can also give everyone their favorite shower gel or shaving foam, beautifully decorating the ensemble, putting gifts and a greeting card in a basket or a bright bag.

Who said that men are not given bouquets? Flowers for that and flowers to present them to loved ones. Taking socks (about 10 pcs.), You can make a bouquet. In this case, a bouquet of roses (they are just right for a man). A man, of course, will not put it in a vase of water, but he will be moved by such a gift. Each sock is folded to form a bud and then secured with a pin.

Note! A few years ago, entrepreneurs used one interesting idea in practice - they began to produce socks in a tin can for a gift with inscriptions.

Everything you need for work can be found even at home. First, you should decide on a gift, check your wardrobe, cabinets and tables for the necessary items. If something is missing, buy it. Newly bought socks may not smell very good, so it is worth washing them while the man is not at home. This is an important point - it is much more pleasant when the smell of freshness emanates from the sock gift, rather than production paint.

6. Fold the remaining 2 socks together and twist them into a thick roll. Using an elastic band for fastening, decorate with a ribbon.
