DIY Sock Bun

I can't believe this works. But it does!

Do you have any lonely socks that lost it's identical brother?
I save mine in a laundry bag that is getting bigger and bigger.
If you have medium to long hair, snip off the end of the sock, roll it into a donut,  put your hair in a ponytail and from the end wrap your hair around the donut and make a sock bun!

I quickly tried it out last night and snapped this with my phone.
I used a regular white sock (as you can see)
but the tutorial suggests using a sock color similar to your hair color.

I think if you actually put some effort into it and maybe use some product it could be clean and symmetrical (no fly aways). Easy DIY hair for the bridal party?

P.S. If you have white hair and need a sock- I have plenty.

DIY cupcake socks

I like fuzzy socks and I like cupcakes. Who doesn't?

I found a calorie-free combination that a couple of people might be receiving for Christmas.{wink wink}

 {Supplies}

{My Version}

Socks: Fuzzy socks with different prints to match my friend's personalities from Old Navy. Tie with rubberband or hair band if you are not a fan of that rubberband smell.

Paper: Scrapbook paper from Michaels (on sale $0.25 for each 12"x12" sheet; normally $0.59). I made 3 from one sheet. Can use paper trimmer or silly scissors for trim. Seal with tape.

Cherry: Most people use a fuzzy red puff balls. Christmas decorations were on sale at Michaels so I picked up a branch and pulled off the cherries. Use anything that resembles a red cherry. Also consider jingle bells, chocolate ornament balls, milk chocolate Lindt balls, etc. (If using chocolate, do not store near heater or you might be giving ants with your cupcakes. O__O)

Container: I used clear treat bags leftover from a party. Look around your home for containers. Also consider cellophane, cupcake holder box, gift bag, etc.

 

Treats: Pack them with treats the receiver might use. I packed my bags with my favorite lotions (for my fellow eczema survivors) and my favorite nail polishes (my favorite is Essie). I thought this was a good opportunity to share my nail polishes that I purchased but couldn't use because my eczema flare up ate one of my cuticles and hasn't given it back. It's on the top of my Christmas wish list. Also consider other toiletries, makeup, first aid kits, actual cupcake mix, gift certificates, etc.
