Mother's Day is only 25 days away!  That leaves you about 3 weeks to come up with a gift your mom or someone who is your substitute mom.  Here is a great idea that you can use at any time of year - Sock Cupcakes!  It is always nice to have a pair of fuzzy socks to put on.  You should be able to make this gift for a maximum of $7 if you shop for the items at your local Dollar Tree!  Click on the picture above to watch the video on how to create your sock cupcake.  You will need the following items:

 

  • 1 pair of socks
  • 1 treat container or cupcake liner 
  • 1 small package of pompoms
  • 1 roll of cellophane paper
  • 1 roll of curly ribbon

Directions:

  • Roll the socks up "Cinnamon roll style".  Watch the video to see what this looks like.
  • Put the roll inside of the container
  • Stick a small pompom on the top of your "cupcake"
  • Cut a piece of cellophane from the roll large enough to gather above the cupcake.
  • Put the cupcake in the center of the cellphane, gather the cellophane at the top, and tie a ribbon around it to hold the cellophane in place.

And that is it!  We wish all of your moms and substitute moms a very Happy Mother's Day!
