Stuffed Socks

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

Someone on another community asked about ways to reduce shoe/foot odor. This one is easy, and decorative if you use colorful socks.

You will need:
1 pair of old socks
Needle and thread
1-2 boxes of baking soda
1 handful of dried lavender, rosemary, or any other fragrant herb
Mixing bowl

In the bowl, combine the baking soda and herbs. Crumble the herbs if they are in large pieces. Carefully scoop the mixture into the two socks, putting half in each sock. Sew the socks closed.

You now have two foot-shaped pillows of fragrant odor-absorbing material. When you remove your shoes, allow the shoes to air out for a few minutes. Then stuff in your sock pillows and leave them overnight.
