Button Embellished Socks

I love the mixed color collection of Laura Kelly buttons and keep finding fun ways to use them.

When socks get work and need a little bit of fancying up, here is a great way to make them fun again.  The first step is to wash them and get them bright and white again.  I recommend Rit’s Laundry Whitener and Brightener.  If they are too far gone, you can dye them a fun new color.  When they are clean and dry, sew on miscellaneous buttons to decorate them.  I used embroidery floss to get a secure stitch.

Awesome way to up cycle worn out apparel.

It would be fun to do them in school colors  (or football team colors) or to match a favorite outfit.  I think I might try them on a pair of knee socks next.

Happy Buttons,

Laura
