Do you have socks you can no longer wear? Or are you missing a member of a sock pair? Stop before you drop those socks! Here are five ways you can reuse them.
- Make some shoe covers. I know you're used to the socks being on the inside of your shoes, but they can work on the outside too. Cover shoes when storing them or stuffing them into your suitcase. The sock covers will keep shoes from becoming dusty or your other packed items from becoming dirty.
- Pick them for packing. Socks can provide the cushion you need to keep precious items from being damaged during the shipping process. Use freshly cleaned socks for this endeavor since no one wants to open a box that smells like the inside of your gym shoe.
- Make a puppet. If you have little ones who are easily entertained, have a sock puppet party one Saturday afternoon. Not only will you enjoy spending quality time with them, you can save yourself a trip to the toy store.
- Construct a sock mat. Close your eyes and imagine stepping out of your bed every morning onto a super soft sock rug. Open your eyes and start sewing your socks together to make the most foot friendly mat on the planet.
- Dust for days. Socks make the best dust mitts—hands down! Stick your hand in the hole and let the good times roll.
