Baby Sock Christmas Ornaments

I wanted to save some of my little girls first socks, but I didn't just want to keep them in a drawer, so I figured out a way to keep them and show them off. I love the primitive decorations so I decided I would turn her little socks into ornaments for myself and to share with her grandparents.

                              First, I soak in coffee for about 30 min.

Second, I spread out on aluminum foil and bake in the oven on  200 for 20 to 30 minutes, turning to make sure they dont burn.Then I turn the oven on warm until they dry.

                                                                                                                              After it is dry, stuff with poly fill

I used the little acrylic paint in barn yard red from walmart.

I got these little tiny buttons at Hobby Lobby and sewed on the front. Then I cut a strip of material to make a loop on the back of the sock to hang it on the tree.

In some of them I put some pine needles ,cinnamon sticks, and small  cranberries I got in the floral dept at Hobby Lobby.

Now I have those sweet baby socks as a Christmas keepsake. I will never forget how little those cute feet were.
