Dollar Find Friday- Socks

Every Friday, the There She Goes Trendsetters have what we call Dollar Find Friday. Basically, it is a tutorial of some sort using an item we have found for a dollar and There She Goes stamps. I am TERRIBLE at altered items and thinking out of the box, so I really had to STRETCH myself for this one!! While walking around the only "dollar" store we have in my town, the Dollar General(which has hardly ANYTHING for a dollar anymore), I happened across a pair of socks and thought....hmm. They are only a dollar, why not try it, right??!! So today I bring you my very first Dollar Find Friday tutorial, Stamping on Socks.

Step 1: Obviously besides purchasing the socks is to gather your materials.

Step 2: Turn your sock INSIDE out so that you are stamping on the part of the cuff that folds over. I also put a piece of cardboard or something else inside, so that your markers don't seep through to the other side.

Step 3: Stamp your image, or images with a water resistant ink. For mine, I used the Flowers of Happiness set from There She Goes. Stazon probably works the best, but I did have success with the Memento ink as long as you heat set it!! After stamping your image, color it in with your Copic markers or other fabric markers. I then sewed on my button(from MFT), but you could also do a bow or something along those lines.

Step 4: Heat set your socks by either placing them in the dryer for a few minutes. I even recommend letting them dry overnight and washing them before wearing!! I plan on hand washing mine, but if you want to wash yours in the washer, I would turn them to where the design is inside!!

Here is some news from TSG!!

Friday Night Chats-
The Friday fun doesn't stop at the challenges! There will also be a Friday night chat on the forum from 7-9 both Eastern and Pacific time. That way, it will be easier for everyone to join in on the fun. I will post the Chat Thread Friday mornings and feel free to post throughout the day :) I have such a great time chatting with you guys at the Release Parties that I thought it was a shame to only do it once a month. So come introduce yourself and get ready to meet new friends and have some fun!! You can find today's chat thread on the TSG Forum HERE!

Well, that is it for me for now, thanks for looking and have a great day!!
