I made a couple pairs of affordable sock blockers today using place mats I purchased at Target for $1.99 apiece. Definitely an easy thing to do and something I will use religiously come sock weather.
Here are the place mats I purchased for CHEAP!
I began by tracing the pattern on the back of the place mat.
I trimmed the pattern and used dish washing liquid anda scouring pad to wash the marker off of the back.
Here are a pair of socks modeling the new blockers.Don't they look happy?

Cool! Didn't you and Dad make some wooden one awhile ago too?
Melissa-
Yes, we made some, I haven't put the final touches on them yet. Not to worry, you'll still get the wooden pair too.
Did I mention one of the pairs of place mat blockers are for you too?
For crying out loud! I have that same place mat sitting here waiting to be cut into sock blockers. That is just TOO weird!
Way COOL! I don't have sock blockers. I'd really like to have some, especially for pictures.
I'll have to try this soon. You are VERY clever!
