I'd run out of proper stuffing, so had a rummage around my material box and found these, and PING!! an idea was born...

Soooo easy, more environmentally-friendly, and cheaper than stuffing! Plus it was so satisfying chopping up socks, specially my brother's old ones that say "BUGS" all over them... with pictures of insects. Is it strange I found that fun? :)

Instructions

  1. Get your socks, any sort will do!

  2. Cut them up. Simple as! I roughly chopped them into 1 inch- 2 inch squares/rectangles; this would probably be for something big-ish, like a medium/large size plushie. For any smaller things, or filling in the odd gap, I cut the socks into 1cm-ish squares; I think they would be a bit softer and delicate, for something less bulky.
