Missing Sock?

Things to Do With That Sock That Escapes the Dryer Monster

It's the eternal question: Why is it that every single time you throw in a load of laundry, a sock loses its mate? You practically have to staple the darn things together to keep the pairs intact. Here are fun and practical things to do with the one that got away.

Stuff a sock with mini-pom-poms and let your young kid go to town yanking them out.

Sew bells onto an unmatched pair to make Jingle Fingers and Jangle Toes.

Use one to hide valuables (or chocolate!) in your sock drawer.

Make them into bean bags for a bean bag toss.

Use one as a case to keep glasses from getting scratched.

Create sock puppets.

Make an ice pack more tolerable by wrapping a lone sock around it.

Put one on your kid's hand to discourage thumb sucking.

Use one to make a soothing oatmeal bath.

Make a Mateless Monster toy.

Use them as rags to polish silverware and jewelry.

Frame one and give it as a sentimental gift.

Use single socks in lieu of packing paper or bubble wrap to protect fragile items, like glasses, when you're moving.

Use them as sachets for closets and drawers.

Make homemade heating pads out of them.

Put one on the end of a broom handle to dust hard-to-reach places, like under the fridge.

Use it as a storage bag for your kid's small toys, like marbles or jacks. (So you don't step on them every time you enter his room!)
