StormCry's Sock Xand Bear

Post by StormCry »

Inspiration: Xand Bear
How? I have the same problem that many folk do: Too many socks, not enough matches!
I found a couple of mismatched black socks and a white sock and thought "Gee, these would make a great Xand Bear!".
So, I cut them, stuffed them, sewed them together (hot glued them in some places, because I'm a lazy bum and my hand was getting tired), then I found some "pom-poms" and googly eyes, hot glued them all on, colored the eyes, and PRESTO! I had made a Xand Bear.
Pretty cute, huh?
My little siblings already stole him away and are playing with him....

As Naomi said...
We'd like you to make an original ornament, centerpiece, or some other kind of decoration inspired by our world.
There's nothing in the rules stating that is has to pertain to Christmas, especially since not everyone celebrates Christmas. And in the MS world we're referring to it as "Winter Celebrations."

Entries needed to state what/how it relates to or is inspired by MagiStream. And in this case it is obviously inspired by the Xand Bear. And a very nice use of mismatched socks. :lol:
Playing the endless game of catch-up...

Thanks y'all! I did not think he would really turn out so cute. And it is definitly an idea I am keeping in mind for all those single socks! :hooray:
Nova, you had be kinda sweating there for a moment! I was like "Whaaaa? I don't remember that in the rules! I skipped something! WAAAAA!" and then I saw Darkest's comment and was like "WHEW! All good." :angel:
