Sock Skeleton

Isn’t it just amazing how creative people are?  Robert Mahar from the Mahar Drygood site is one such creative guy!  He’s the creator of the Sock Skeleton.  (Kinda reminds me of the monkey made out of a brown work sock.)

You can purchase a skeleton kit for $9.95 that even comes with a cardboard coffin.  Everything is all ready for you to stitch up this little fella.  For those of you writhing in crafty creativeness, you can try your own hand at making this skeleton sans kit.  Here are the direction.  (If I were to make one without the kit — and that would be a mighty big IF — I would definitely have to buy a new pair of white socks because I don’t have any. White ones that is. Mmmm. . . . I wonder what it would be like to make a black skeleton with white stitching?  Might be kinda fun to give it a go.)

If your grandchildren are young, you can make this and then give it to them for a playmate.  (And maybe make the monkey, too, as the skeleton’s best friend.)  If your grandchildren are older,  you can spend time together making a skeleton.  Maybe even whip out a whole flock of them to passel out to brothers, sisters, cousins, aunties, and other unsuspecting family members.

Have fun making this skeleton.  It will leave you in stitches.

    Very cute & imaginative idea. I remember the brown monkey. My grandmother made me one.
