It's enough to make toys from socks. A master class with a step-by-step description can be found in any source. And you can show your imagination and do it yourself.
What if you try to make a bunny? This requires two identical sock. From one we will make a head with ears, and from another - a trunk with legs. From both socks cut the elastic: in one case a little more, in another - a little less. It is good to take socks with a white heel and toe. Then cut these socks along at the bottom, not cutting to the heel a couple of centimeters. We take a sock, which in the future will be the head of a hare. From it we cut off the bottom white tips, from them we will make a tail, sewing it round and stuffing with a supporter. Sew the resulting ears, it should be noted that you need to stitch on the wrong side. We fill the resulting shape with a filler, the heel of us will be the muzzle of a hare. By pulling the heel with a thread in a certain way, we get a "mustache" and a hare's nose. Sew a nose, eyes from buttons or material of other color.
From the other sock we make a trunk. Also we sew the "legs" from the wrong side, turn it out, stuff it, sew it up. The heel in this case is the back of the hare. To it we sew the tail made in advance. Then we sew the toes with a needle and thread. Sew together the trunk and head.
From the cut off elastic it will be necessary to make front legs of a hare and to sew to a trunk. All the bunny is ready!
Similarly, soft toys made of socks are made like pups. From the toe you need to cut off the upper part with an elastic band and a heel. The elastic will perform the role of a cap, and from the heel we'll make a head. So, the cut off heel should be leveled to a circle, to let thread into it and tighten, you will get a ball. We fill it, sew our eyes - beads, you can embroider them with threads, mouth and nose. To create a hat, you need to sweep the cut off elastic, then thread the thread, retreat about a centimeter from the edge, and pull it together. It turns out a cap-cockerel. We put it on the head.
Now you need to make a torso of the doll. To do this, note the position of the legs and hands in the lower part of the nose. For the legs, sew in the middle of the toe a seam about 6 centimeters long, for the hands - after stepping off one centimeter from the edge, we make seams with a depth of five centimeters. Fill the body with filler, pull it together from the top. The final touch is that we sew the head with the trunk. The seam can be made invisible by covering it with a bow.
The cost of making this craft is very small, because you do not have to buy anything - the necessary materials are at home for everyone.
