  Step 1

  The main ingredient we'll need for this DIY is a pair of footless tights. I love using ones from the girls department at stores like Target or Wal-mart because they're cheap and always come in fun colors/patterns! You'll also need a sewing machine with a zig zag stitch, thread, and scissors.

• 

  Step 2

  Fold your tights in half, making sure the bottom hems are lined up nice and even.

• 

  Step 3

  Use a ruler to measure about four inches* away from the seat seam. Mark this measurement.

  * If you want your socks to be taller/shorter then please feel free to adjust this measurement to your liking.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut straight across from the measurement you marked in the previous step.

• 

  Step 5

  After you cut the legs off from the tights you’ll have these two tubular pieces of fabric. Sew the raw ends of the tubes shut with a zigzag stitch. I like to sew mine with the sock right-side out; that way the seam will be on the outside of the sock rather than inside where it can irritate your toes.

  Step 6

  And there you have it! Instant (er, well...sort of) knee-high socks. ♥
