DIY Sock Containers

I don't know about you ,but I love these catchalls.Made with socks and aluminum cans! All you need is a container (not too big,remember,a sock has to fit around it!) socks and double sided tape. All you do is line the inside ,about halfway down,with double-sided tape.Slip the sock over the container and tape the ends of the sock to the container. I used an aluminum can (washed and dried ,of course), a pencil holder I found at the dollar store, and a small pottery vase I found at the thrift store for .49! I would recommend using ankle length socks.Too much sock will bunch up inside the container. I found these socks at Target.You can use socks for every holiday.Fill them with candy canes for Christmas.Or pencils and pens. You can even line them with plastic and pop a plant in them.Use your imagination. All you knitters,why not use one to store your kitting needles? And oh what great gifts! I am off to go sock shopping! Find more Do It Yourself blog entries over at Kimba's blog, A Soft Place to Land.
