DIY Creepy Sock Doll

 This is a DIY I am very excited about because it is something you can most likely do without having to buy anything and you can make it as uniquely as you want. It's a great activity for the fall if you want to stay inside and enjoy scary movies while getting creative. You can use this little dude or dudette as a Halloween decoration or even a gift!

The things that I used for my sock doll include:

-socks

-thick tights

-ribbon

-buttons

-thread

-lace

I basically just emptied out my craft box of all its contents. You can use any sort of material you please.

At first I wasn't sure if this was going to be a sock doll or a foot-of-tights doll. I ended up using the tights because I felt like it. 

I used the sock and the rest of the tights as stuffing because I didn't have stuffing and I really wanted this to be a DIY that you could do with the things you have at home. 

I twisted the top over to close off the "sock" doll and it turned out looking like a really cute hat.

To seal off the top I sewed on barely visible white lace. 

For the eyes, I wanted it to look creepy and uneven. I think mismatched colors make these little dudes look even creepier.

I used gray parts of the socks to make little feet and arms for my doll and I liked that the ends looked a little bit frayed. It makes the doll look like it has aged. Like perhaps it has been sitting on a shelf for a couple decades unfurling at the seems.

I made a weird looking little outfit for the doll and hemmed the bottom with orange thread. 

The mouth of this doll is my favorite part because it's so expressionless and uneven. 

Here's my finished doll in all of its glory. 

If you choose to do this DIY (and I hope that this has inspired you to do so) use absolutely anything you want. Old clothes and loose buttons, really anything you can find. Be resourceful and creative and have fun!
