Sock Rocks Rock!

Yesterday's post put socks on my mind. Using a rock I found at the beach and a lonesome sock from my drawer, I created a paperweight for my desk.

You'll need a smooth rock, a sock, a needle and thread.

Slip rock inside of sock and cut off both ends of sock.

Stretch sock around rock and pull ends together tightly - stitch in place to close.

You could also use your sock rock to hold down napkins at an outdoor event.

    Simple and pretty and kind of elegant. Very clever idea.

    These are cool. I have done some felting with rocks inside -simmilar idea. They just look so good, don’t they? I think I might have to add to my rock stash. 🙂

    I love the idea to use them to hold down napkins when picnicing outside!
