A few years ago, I found this idea somewhere on the Internet. It's so super cute and a great way to give a little gift with big impact.
Let me "bake" you up some sock cupcakes. It's so easy and can work with any kind of socks -- fuzzy, festive, expensive or affordable.
Start with a pair of socks and a cupcake wrapper. I love that with the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge, I can cut a cupcake wrapper out of any paper I want, any size I want.
Roll up the socks and tie them with some ribbon or twine. I prefer to put the twine close to the bottom, so I can play with the "rolls", fluff them up, layer them and give them more of a cupcake shape.
Then simply insert them in the cupcake wrapper and embellish. I like to use red pompoms to create a "cherry" on top. The "Cutie Pie" Stamp of the Month is perfect for creating the SWEETEST tags to go with these cupcakes.
I find that fuzzy socks work the best. They're nice and plump and you can even get them from the dollar store. For this one, I used Snowhaven paper and added some candy striped buttons.

But the work socks turned out well too! Great for the men in your life, like your sons, hubby or even a male teacher! With this one, I used the cupcake stamp to stamp on the wrapper too, doodled with a gold metallic pen and added shine to the cherries with Liquid Glass.
If you want, place the sock cupcake into a clear plastic treat bag and tie with a ribbon to keep it all together. What a sweet gift!
