How I did it: I saw a book at borders called "stupid sock creatures" and i thought they were adorable. so i googled "sock creatures" and sock monsters" and came up with a couple of sites that tell you how to hand sew your own. They look complicated, but once you get a gist of the main concept, you can basically make any type of ridiculous sock monster you can imagine!

Lessons & tips: use crazy socks. the crazier the better. also, little things like buttons, zippers, bits of fabric can really make them come to life. 

Resources: i went to target for knee high socks. also, use old socks you can't find the mate to, or go to the dollar store or something
