Cute Dollar Tree Sock Snowman
Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we’ve been crafting a ton for the holidays (which is normal). But this week, I’m sharing one of our all-time favorite crafts: a cute snowman made from SOCKS!
And the best part is that you can make a family of sock snowmen by using different sized socks for the activity. Note that you’ll need less rice for smaller socks.
If you don’t have time to make these adorable sock snowmen right now, save or share this page. Either share it to Facebook or save it to a winter crafts pin board so you can easily find it when you’re ready to begin.
Materials Needed
Head to the Dollar Tree to get the supplies you need. Other big box stores will also have the items at a low price and if you’re making a ton for a fundraiser, this might be best because they will have larger packs of socks.
If you’re creating this with the little ones, you will have to operate the glue gun or get them a low-temp version. Parental supervision is required for this sock snowmen craft because we’re using scissors and hot glue.
- Crew Socks (white)
- Cute Socks (fuzzy socks, colorful knits, etc.)
- Rice
- Rubberbands
- Black and Orange Markers

If you want a printable version without images, scroll to the bottom of this article and select the print button.
Use scissors to cut off the ribbed portion of the crew socks, just over the top of the heel.
Fill the bottom of the sock with 1 cup of rice. Press it down, squish it, etc. to get it to widen out a bit at the bottom.
Secure the sock over the rice with an elastic rubber band. Make the band is as close to the rice as possible.
Add another 1/2 cup of rice to the sock and secure with a rubber band to create the snowman’s head.
Use scissors to cut off the excess sock to about 1/2 an inch above the band.
Use the hot glue gun to add a ring of glue around the bottom of the head portion of the snowman. Press it into the body well and hold it until it is secure.
Use scissors to cut the colorful sock below the heel. Slide it onto the snowman’s head. You can glue it in place or add a pompom to the tip of the hat.
Use a black marker to create two eyes and a mouth for the snowman’s face and two or three buttons down the front of the body.
Use the orange marker to create a sideways triangle for a carrot nose on the snowman’s head and you’re ready to display your cute sock snowman!
