Craft Hope: Sock Monkeys

By Karen Brown

Craft Hope has posted their last project for 2011. If you aren’t familiar with Craft Hope, you can read here and here, where we previously posted about this organization.


Craft Hope’s mission is “spreading seeds of hope one stitch at a time.” Project 15 is one I am personally excited about. For this project, handmade sock monkeys will be collected and distributed to children who lost their homes this summer in the devastating wildfires in Texas. Sock monkeys are sure to put smiles on the faces of kids who lost their special stuffed friends when their homes went up in flames.

My kids and I have been making sock monkeys together for a couple years. They are one of our favorite gifts to give to friends and family members for birthdays and Christmas. The kids really enjoy picking out the socks and button eyes to use and even help with stuffing the monkeys. This would be a great project to work on together as a family!


The deadline for this project is November 24th, Thanksgiving. Check out their website for further instructions and tutorials.
