Cut the foot part of socks off and overlap them one onto another until you get desired length. You can sew or use glue to attach to each other. The sock you use to make the head you leave the foot on. Stuff with poly fiber. Add buttons for eyes and a felt tongue. Use this same design and stuff with dried beans to put an end to a cold draft under a door or in a window sill.
These party invitations are actually really cool and are simple to make. The nose, mouth and text are all printed onto bookmark sized squares on card stock. The eyes are glued on and so are the eyebrows and hair which is just ripped construction paper. You then cut the shapes out making the corners round. Great idea!
three pumpkins and sticks for legs – then add circle eyes made from Styrofoam plates with circles made from felt or scrap fabric.

Dip hard boiled egg in blue dye first (only half) to desired strength of blue color for pants – when dry do the same with the other half but in yellow. When dry glue on googly eyes like shown in examples. Use sharpie marker to create smiles and rings to top and bottom of eyes. Pictured they used black yarn to create band for glasses but you could just finish with sharpie marker. Very cool and the kids will love their new companions.
