How to Make a Sports Fan Snowman Using Socks

Hello team!

We are still in full NFL playoff mode at our house! Even though our Packers didn’t make the cut, we still enjoy watching all the games. Is your favorite team still in the picture?

I think you’ll enjoy today’s project, no matter what your favorite team or sport, because it’s a great way to decorate with a little team spirit this time of year. These cute little snowmen are quick and easy to put together (no sewing) and are a great way to recycle some old team spirit wear that you aren’t using anymore!

I made a bunch of mini snowmen sporting scarves that were made from an old pair of flannel pants that I hadn’t worn in years. I couldn’t part with the pants, and decided recycling them was a great way to get some use out of them. I’ll also show you some alternatives for the scarves, if you don’t have any old flannel around, and can’t find any in the right colors are your local thrift shop or fabric shop.

Let’s get started!

Step 1 – Gather your supplies

2 white bobby socks (I used size small)
Flannel in your team colors
Yarn in your team colors
Small buttons or googly eyes
Rice or beans
Small rubber bands
Scissors
Glue

Step 2 – Snowman Body

Cut the foot off one of the socks
Cut the top of the sock off, and discard the heel section
Set aside the top for the hat

Fill the foot part of the sock with rice, about ¾ full, and push it down firmly
Rubber band the top shut

Step 3 – Snowman Scarf

Cut a piece of flannel about 10” x 1”
ALTERNATE- cut 4-6 pieces of yarn instead
Tie the flannel (or yarn) around the middle of the snowman, to create a body and head
Trim the scarf, as desired
