Goth Sock Puppets

October was a REALLY big month for me program-wise. I had so many things I could do and plan - it was FANTASTIC! One thing we had done before, and had been a big hit were the goth sock puppets.

This is a really inexpensive craft to do. Odds are you already have a good number of notions - buttons, ribbons, sequins, googlie eyes, etc. lying around in your craft cabinet. All you need to buy are some black and white socks. We use hot glue, but you might be able to use that really thick tacky glue if you need to. I make sure to give the teens cardboard to stick inside the socks so their hands don't get burned.

My grandmother gave me a bunch of mini bells that were shaped like bats, and those were used on almost every single gock that was made. Just make sure that you have plenty of red, black, and white (maybe a bit of neon color), plenty of imagination, and you're sure to have a successful program.
