Hey Friends!
I am so excited to share something crafty with you today!
Since Valentine’s Day is coming up soon, I thought this would be a fun “treat” to make for your friends or loved ones. {I made these for my sons’ teachers.}
It’s a “sock cupcake!”
Which makes it a “sweet treat for your feet!”
To make this gift, I bought some colorful, cozy socks from Walmart. They were two for $2.50.
I used my Silhouette Cameo to make the cupcake liners. {You could probably find some extra large cupcake liners at a craft store, but I have been wanting to find something I could make on my new Cameo, so I used Silhouette’s online store to buy my template.}
The paper I used is called “Uptown Flair” and is from Hobby Lobby. {I used my 40% coupon to make it affordable.}
The paper in this pack is sooo cute! It’s a heavy cardstock and some of the pages have glitter on them. Lurve it!
I enlarged the cupcake liners a little bit because the socks were so thick.
Once the cupcake liner was cut, I folded and taped it up.
Then I rolled a pair of socks up to look like a cupcake.
I wrapped the sock in tissue paper to hold the sock inside the liner since it didn’t have a bottom.
After trimming the tissue paper, I created some tags on my Cameo as well.
I wrote “A Sweet Treat for your Feet” on the tags. Then I wrapped each “cupcake” with some ribbons that I had in my craft closet. To hold the tag to the cupcake, I used a yellow tipped sewing pin that I found with my sewing supplies, stuck it through a pom pom, through the tag, and into the sock. Worked like a charm!
You may come up with a better way to hold it all together, but this worked for me. I wanted the cute little pom pom on top of the cupcake, but didn’t want to glue it on the sock, so the sewing pin worked for me.
I love the way they turned out, and the boys are excited to give them to their teachers on Valentine’s Day. 
If I wanted to make these sock cupcakes for my boys, I would just used some boyish colors for the cupcake liners and socks.
Funny story: I thought I was being all creative and coming up with the idea of a “sock cupcake” all by myself. I thought, “My readers are going to love this! I’ve never seen anything like this!” Then I made the mistake of searching for “sock cupcake” on Pinterest just to prove that my idea was an original. Bad idea. Then I googled it. Worse idea. People have been making sock cupcakes for years!
Dagnabit! My “original” idea went out the window.
Oh well! I still love it and think it is cute. And hey, it’s NEW to me!
I hope you like it. I had fun making them and taking pictures of them.
Have a blessed day!
