Do you have old mismatched socks? Don’t throw them away, you can create some cute DIY puppets

Do you like them puppets and you have mismatched socks everywhere? Rather than throwing them away, we suggest transforming them into many different characters, which you can use to stage a show together with the children.

Socks of any type are fine, but to personalize them you will also need buttons, colored wool threads, beads, pom poms, dancing eyes and other decorative elements of your choice. You also shouldn’t miss a hot glue gun.

Proceed like this:

Of course, there are many other creative possibilities: for example, you could use colored pipe cleaners for the puppet’s hair or, if you want him moustachioed, make some felt moustaches.

Try to unleash your creativity by giving life to imaginary creatures like the ones you see below. Aren’t they cute?! To make them you need felt for the mouth, pom poms and dancing eyes for the eyes and nose, pipe cleaners for the antennas, wool for the hair.

As you can see, there are countless ideas to draw inspiration from. We can’t wait to see your puppet!
