DIY sock pig - an original way to make a toy

A sock pig is made using the following materials and tools:

• Needle and thread;
• Socks – one pair;
• Scissors;
• Filling – padding polyester, batting or other material;
• Buttons. From them we will make the eyes and nose of a pig;
• Cork from a five liter bottle.

It is advisable to choose socks in a bright color or with decoration.All shades of pink are perfect. You need to take the filler and fill one of the socks with it. It should gain volume and become round. We stuff the entire sock, right up to the heel. Then we cut off the top and sew up the resulting hole with thread. Cut a circle from the second sock. You need to wrap a bottle cap in it, and then sew it to the pig’s body with threads. To make a nose, you can use black buttons. Some craftswomen prefer to embroider the nose themselves, others draw with a felt-tip pen.

We make a blank for the ears from the remainder of the second sock. There should be four of them. We cut it out of the fabric, sew it on the wrong side and turn the product right side out. We sew them onto the head and move on to the eyes. You can use the rest of the fabric for the ponytail. Sew it on the back, twisting the material. If desired, you can make paws. These will be four pads that are stitched from the inside, turned inside out and sewn to the body.
