The kids and I threw this very simple wreath together in no time flat.
I have to be totally honest and let you know that
I got this sock wreath idea right here.
Becca made a lovely sock wreath: it is totally cute!
I just kinda took her idea and "valentined" it...
Thanks for sharing Becca!

Turn your socks inside out and pin the heel together flat.Sew across it to eliminate the heel entirely and turn the sock into a tube sock....
Trim seam to get rid of bulkiness.
Not rocket science: no need to cut exactly straight.

Now cut off toes.
Do all this to all four socks.
All your socks now are straight tubes with openings on both ends.

Let mommy cut the wreath.
I used my trusty ol' serrated bread-knife: Worked like a champ!

If you think the boy-child isn't helping, think again: he is the photographer!
Slide on the tube-socks, one at a time.
Arrange and scrunch the socks how you like them.
They stay put really well, but if you'd like you could glue or pin them into place.

It was fun and easy to make this with my kids. we just did it one afternoon after school. No pressure, just relaxed.... and VERY inexpensive!
I bought the socks at the dollar store and the wreath cost next to nothing at the craft store.
