Pictures from Kamp Platypus!.....Or not....
Sock Platypuses!
Fold lengthwise into thirds and cut a strip. Fold the strip into thirds and cut on the creases. Then, fold the remaining 2/3 of the sock and cut a piece out the same size as the other 3 legs.
And finally, your funny looking sock platypus is complete!
Way number2,this way requires NO sewing:
What you will need:
A very stretchy baby sock. The one used here was 100% polyester.
Tiny rubber bands (You can find these in the hair accessories section of a department store.)
Poly-fil for stuffing the socks
Small black eyes, one finger cut from a glove, and brown felt or fun foam for the feet.
Scissors, and a hot melt glue gun (one that uses low temp. glue sticks).
What to do:
1. If your sock has a cuff that is folded down and sewed to the inside of the sock, turn the sock inside out and carefully cut the stitching and unfold the cuff. This will make the sock longer.
2. Use a small amount of poly-fil to stuff the toe of the sock to about half way to the heal of the sock to make the head of the platypus. Use a small rubber band to tie off the head. (See the general directions above on how to make no-sew sock dolls.)
3. Cut a finger off a glove and curl up the cut end a little. Stuff the finger just a little and then glue the cut end of the finger onto the head of the platypus to make the beak.
4. Fill the heal of the sock with poly-fil so that it is stiff. This is the body of the platypus. Secure the body with a rubber band.
5. To make the tail cut the cuff of the sock into a tail shape. Glue it closed on the sides and stuff it with poly-fil. Then glue the end closed.
6. To make the eye sockets insert a threaded and knotted needle into the place you would like one eye, pushing it through the head to the other side where you would like the other eye. Cut off the needle and pull the thread to form the eye sockets. Tie the end of the thread to keep the shape. Glue eyes to the eye sockets.
Have Fun with your new sock Platypi!!!!!
