Sock Clips: Alternative Use For Shoe Clips!
Jul 2, 2011 by Violet
The obsession to use up all of those clip on earrings I got continues XD And stemming from that I found another use for the shoe clips I made: sock clips! I’ve been wearing a lot of over the knee length socks lately and most of mine are quite plain. So what better way to jazz them up than by cute clips which you can change to suit your outfit?
Same technique as before but I will run through again in case you missed it.
What you need:
- Decorations (I’m making bows so fabric, needle and thread)
- Old clip on earrings (or just buy the clip parts from a craft store)
- Glue
- Felt (optional)
Cut out the pieces for 2 bows, 4 rectangles and 2 thin rectangles for the middle ties.
Sew the big rectangles together, turn inside out.
Wrap around the middle tie and secure in place.
Done.
Get your earring clips.
If they are still attached to earrings remove them with pliers.
Glue to the bows. Make sure they are both the same way up. Don’t burn yourself, hot glue + metal = ouch.
Optional: Add felt to cover the metal parts.
DONE! Cute socks are now yours, wear with pride and make several to match every outfit :D
Crappy phone pic of them on, real photos to come in outfit posts! Have a good weekend everyone <3 |
So cute. Can’t wait to try them myself, though don’t imagine they’ll any where near as good.
Aww I bet they’ll be even better than mine :D
very cute :)
I wish I had your skinny legs :)
XD Thank you! Sometimes I think they look odd coming out of my curvy top half though hahahaha!
really cute!
Hope I’ll find the motivation to try it myself! Will you do something with the plastic flowers?
The plastic flowers are back in my craft pile to use later though not sure how yet :D
OMG. I literally just stumbled on your site thru stumbleupon. (your pin curl tutorial, btw, I’ve always wanted to know how to do those, but never remembered to google it lol). Anywho, I really liked that post and took a nose around the site. This post right here is why you are my new favourite internet person! XD love it, you have a new reader!
Oh wow! Thank you so much, I’m so glad you stumbled over here :D I’m going to go check out your blog, and I most definitely need to add “Favorite Internet Person” to my business cards because that is awesome!
Cute clips. Definitely a good way to spice up those socks. Personally I don’t wear knee socks so I might put them on something else. ^^
I think you could wear them on anything, like sweaters or even in your hair :D
naw!! very cute n_n !!
