When I should be doing my homework.....

Hey all!
I craft all the time! I read this community all the time! Yet, I have never ever posted here! Today is the day! No time like the present, right? Especially if you're avoiding doing something else. ;)

On to the craft talk...
Ok so, I was doing laundry the other day and I kept running into my boyfriend nasty old worn out socks. Like any crafter, I HATE to throw things out but these socks are WAY too far done to make sock monkeys.  (maybe a homeless sock monkey?) So I started thinking, how do you re-purpose a threadbare old white sock?

Warning, this is pretty image heavy!

Crafty?
Receipe:
Take an old sock, cut the cuff into rings, soak in plaster, stretch rings over a glass to dry, varnish. VOILA! Sock jewelery!


Here are some close-ups. I haven't varnished them all yet but I'm working on it....




Um.... I hope you liked it! Ciao, It's back to the workshop for me!
