This is probably the most used craft I will ever make. I lose my socks all the time. Seriously, I am pretty sure that dryer lint is the remains of my missing socks. So, my solution is the Missing Sock Station.
Things You Will Need:
Wood
Wood Glue
Clothes Pins
Paint, water, brushes
Step 1:
Paint your wood a solid color.
Step 2:
While you wait for the wood to dry, paint your clothes pins.
Step 3:
Your wood should be dry by now. Grab a MASSIVE sharpie and start writing. You can use paint if you prefer but I think the sharpie is a bit more clean.
Step 4:
When both the clothes pins and wood are dry, you can use your wood glue to adhere the pins to the wooden board.
Step 5:
Cut some string a bit longer than the length of the wooden board. Glue each end of the string to the edges of the board ( a bit high than center). Let the dry.
*Surely there is a better way of hanging this, but I am being lazy tonight and I know that this is going to work. So, if you are aware of better ways to hang this thing then go for it!
B-E-A-UUUU-Tiful! This is will be so helpful!
Happy crafting 😀
Made me smile too but how lovely idea… yes so beautiful. Thank you dear Megan, I think all home need this one 🙂 love, nia
Thanks Nia! It is a great addition!
Just check with Zack. He has them. Lol
what a great idea…. my sister has a pile and we spend hours finding pairs
I am always searching through my sock drawer for matches. I was about done with that. Let me know how it goes if you make one!
May make one for my brother, I don’t seem to lose any
What a brilliant idea …. wish I had this when I was living with my partner – don’t use sock myself. One of the best I seen so fare, especially if you have kids in the household. I vote for an Oscar for this.
Aww, thank you! I appreciate it!
I really love the idea bec. i think all household had thew same dilemma! Especially for a big household :))
Agreed! It is making my life easier already 🙂
I love it!
Thank you!
This is one of the best yet and most practical. I vow the dryer stays hungry and eats my socks! LOL 🙂
Haha, my sock folding has significantly improved since I made my sock station. I highly recommend it!
