Instructions:
- Cut the sock in half. Aim for right above the heel to keep a straight edge.
- Sew on the eye with the thread; and the mouth with the embroidery floss. Note: If your stitching is uneven, it makes the monsters look more scary.
- Cut from the piece of sock you aren’t using for your monster (or another kind of fabric ) to make hair/horns, etc. Fold the cut edge of the sock inward 1/4″ and sandwich the horns/hair between the opening. Double your thread and hand-stitch across the top.
