What You Will Need
What You Will Need
- Girl’s sock
- Scissors
- Plastic needle
- Ribbon
- Charms (optional)
- Glue (optional)
How to Do It
- Select a new sock with a pretty color or pattern. Help your daughter cut off the top, so she’s left with a piece measuring five to six inches from the toe.
- Fold over the top edge to hem and stitch the perimeter with a plastic needle threaded with ribbon.
- Make a handle by running ribbon from one side of the tote to the other and tying a knot at each end to secure.
- Add a drawstring by loosely stitching a long piece of ribbon around the opening, about a half-inch from the top.
- For extra flair, glue charms to the ends of the drawstring. Let dry. Now her tote is ready to hit the town!
