When we moved I found a random sock stuffed in between the cushions of the sofa, down the back of a radiator and in different drawers so I know they never go far.... but Oh.My.Days we have more than our fair share of odd socks I'm sure!
Until now!

I recently bought this little beaut the last time I was in town for £1.50!! (I may go back for more!). I'm not a fan of the sign as it is, but we all know that nothing is what it seems when it comes into my house.....

The B on the sign is there as a measure.....
Last week I mentioned my love for stationery and my 'just in case' supply of scrapbooking paper.... Well, thanks to scrapping the magic, the Daily Prophet came in handy for this project.

Once the letters were decorated, I also painted some small pegs gold (I left off the glitter as I didn't want that falling into the socks!!). I then set about glueing them all to my new sign, using my beloved Mod Podge.... and I got glitter EVERYWHERE!

When we sort the washing out now, my son always checks the odd-sock sign when he has a missing pair :-)
I've given each sock 2 weeks to find its pair, after that, it's out of here!
Haha love this 😃 but now i just fold them together and hope they clean well
ReplyDeleteThanks, my son has a great time pairing them all up
