How to make it
Rice and pom-poms are choking hazards, so keep this one away from babies, toddlers and anyone who tends to put things in their mouth.
1Cut the sock
Lay the sock flat. Cut it straight across right above the heel. Keep the tube part with the toe.
2Fill with rice
Stand the sock toe-down in a mug. Pour in rice through a funnel until it's about two-thirds full.
3Close the bottom
Twist the sock above the rice and wrap a rubber band around it tightly. This is the body and head.
4Make the head
Squeeze about a third of the rice up toward the band. Wrap a second band below it to form a round head.
5Shape the ears
Cut the empty sock top above the first band down the middle. Trim each half into a long ear shape.
6Tie the bow
Tie the ribbon over the neck band to hide it. Glue the pom-pom on the back for a tail.
If twisting the rubber bands is hard on your hands, use the stretchy coil hair ties instead. They slide on with almost no grip needed.
