I now stuff the bottom
I put a little stuffing --then added a little rice--then more stuffing

Grapevine Bunny Wreath



My first bunny Wreath ---Still needs a little work  --I thought I bought Wired Ribbon ..will need to Fix Bow --

I bought 2    six inch grape vine wreaths ---soaked them in water
                    soaking them in water will allow you to bend them to get in bunny ear shape

              1    10 inch grape vine Wreath
              1    14 inch grape vine Wreath
               3   5 ft of garland
                    Ribbon   for Bow
                    Flower


I attached all with Wire

Then i pulled the Garland apart and worked it into the wreath
I did use a hot Glue to attach some of the garland








I also made a small one Wreath

2   6 inch Wreaths---for the ears
     8 inch Wreaths
    10 inch Wreath

The below Bunny is the small Bunny

Sock Snowmen

Christmas Sock Snowmen --so very Easy

Buy White Socks


Cut White Sock  ..right now i am just using the top of the sock ...not the toe part

After I cut it i turn inside out and rubber band as below then turn right side



Then Fill with Rice   and Rubber band again at the top


Then i Cut the Sock ...Usually i Just Cut At The Heel  --The foot part i use as the Hat --The other part i am using as the Sweater 


i have been using the Band part of the sock at the Neck of the Snowman   and i will usually Tie a piece of Cotton Yarn at the neck of the snowman to define the neck ..and then just cover it up with the sweater


I found these Beads at michaels for the Eyes   this is what the package looked like after i took out the beads..I am hot gluing my Eyes on


For Eyes you can use Beads or Buttons...people have also used marker...


 I also Found These Beads below At michaels which i use for the noise ...you could also use Tooth picks cut in two and painted orange  or a pipe cleaner   or felt ...just use whatever works for you ..i am hot gluing them

For the Cheeks i have just put a little blush on my finger and put it on the sock !!




i have done many things for the snowmen them self    i have Crocheted a Brim and glued to the sock ...i have used the toe part of the white sock and put the pattern sock over it and glued them together for the hat .


Here are a few examples of what i have made !!  So Far I have been limited to what kind of socks. It was to early in the season for christmas socks











Good luck !!!
