DIY Monster Sock Puppet Tutorial

I am not a mom who spends too much time crafting. While I don’t mind getting some fun crafts into our homeschool each month, I have to be honest that I don’t always enjoy them when we do. Let’s just say I’m more of a cooking, baking, photography and graphic design gal who loves to be active with my family. However, I have to say, that our family had so much fun making this monster sock puppet, myself included!

DIY Monster Sock Puppet Tutorial

These are the supplies you’ll need:
1 pair of fuzzy socks
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Googly eyes
Pom Pom balls
Felt
Cardboard

Directions:
Cut cardboard circle that will fit in your sock for the mouth and fold in half.
Trace the circle twice onto your piece of felt, cut out, and glue to both sides of the cardboard.

Cut the toe off the end of your sock, roll the edges around the felt covered cardboard, and hot glue in place to make your mouth.

Hot glue googly eyes to 2 pom pom balls and glue above mouth for eyes.

For back spines, cut two long strips of felt and hot glue half of it together, leaving two flaps.

Separate flaps and hot glue to back of the sock.
Decorate as you desire, we added extra pom pom balls and a felt bow tie.
