Embroidering
socks are a wonderful way to save an old pair of socks that has holes in them.
Depending on the size of the hole on the sock, the socks can be saved by
embroidering them. You can design anything on your sock depending on the size
of the hole. In this example, a flower was embroidered onto a pair of socks.
The hole was covered with the leaf of the flower.
You can use
the same color floss thread or assorted colors to make your flower embroidery
onto your socks. In this example, the same color thread was used for both
socks. Make sure you have enough embroidery floss thread before beginning this
project. After you are done embroidering the flower onto each sock, you will be
able to wear your socks with your tennis shoes. Here is the tutorial for
embroidering a flower onto your socks.
Materials:
Embroidery
floss thread
Embroidery
needles
One pair of
socks
Scissors
Regular thread
Regular needle
Tennis ball
Instructions:
Begin by
washing your socks. Wait for your socks to get dry. Then, make sure the fabric
of the socks stretches so you can embroider your flower. Sew the hole in reverse with a ball inside the sock. Once you are done covering the hole, you can
reverse the sock to the front side.
Use a
circle stencil to embroider the leaf. Then, fill in the circle. The circle will
begin taking on a new oval shape. After that continue filling in the circle
with thread. Then, make the stem of the leaf with your embroidery
floss thread.
Next,
continue adding the stem. Once you have the stem, you can add a flower. You can
use a flower stencil to make your flower. Embroider the flower by outlining the
flower. Continue adding thread until your tulip is complete.
Trim the
leftover threads with scissors. Repeat the same steps to make the second flower on the other sock.
Try to make the same flower on the other sock. Do not worry if the flowers do
not line up the same way on both socks. Nonetheless, have fun saving your old
pair of socks with embroidery.
