Sock Cupcakes {The Sweetest *little* Gift Idea!}
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!

Your photos are gorgeous and I love the way you added the ribbon. I did a sock cupcake tutorial on my blog about 2 years ago. It is still one of my most popular posts :)
Thanks, Kim!
Yeah, I’ve seen a lot of sock cupcake tutorials now. hee.hee. :)
I was so bummed when I realized I was the “first.” But now I’m kind of laughing at myself for thinking I could have been! There are WAY craftier people out there than me!
Oh well!
*wasn’t the first.
Very nice pictures. Colorful
Very cute idea!
Those are darling!! I love them! :) And I feel like no one is the “first” anymore, but that doesn’t make anything we create less original.
So cute! I am really interested in your chalkboard backdrop…did you to the lettering? So neat!
It was new to me and it’s adorable! Could be used other holidays as well.
Cute idea!!!
I love this idea! Sock cupcakes! – Too cute!
I think I will do these for my two girls for Valentine’s Day! Maybe a couple of their friends too! Love it!
Well my precious friend…this is a “first” for me….A friend and I did make cupcakes for a baby shower and used Onsies with a baby sock in the middle (sorta looked like icing on the cupcake)..But I truly love this idea with the socks …..You are a very talented lady and I look forward to your blog daily..
Have an awesome evening & an even better week….Love, prayers & blessings daily….
Thank you, Teresa! Your idea for the baby shower sounds adorable! Maybe I need to try that too. :)
Thank you for your sweet words and for following my blog.
Blessings,

I love it Traci! I have never seen it, so your original idea is original to me!!! How did you make your board? Loved it, too! Great display! You go girl!!! :)
Hi Traci,
ADORABLE!!! Going to make them for some nursing home residents. I’ve never seen any look this adorable. Your vignette is precious too. Everyone I have showed it to is asking me about your chalkboard art…are you planning a blog post to share how you created it?
I shared your blog with my mom this morning and she loved it.
Blessings,
Sandi
Love them and they are new to me too !!

They are so cute! My daughter will love helping me make them for her mum on Valentine’s Day!
