Hello crafty Moms! I'm pretty sure that you're going to love my today's post because it has something to do with sorting, cleaning and recycling which all moms wish to do in spare time. Yes mommies! because time flies so fast, maybe it was not so long ago since you sorted your worn out socks from the good ones. Yes, it's all about used socks again! As we all experienced, after a school year ends, socks life ends too so when another school year starts, we moms of course provide new things like shoes, bags and most especially school socks, therefore, we would have a stock of used all socks. Well for me, we really have to change socks every year whether it's worn out or not. Why? I don't know if it's just my assumption but I think used old socks become smelly the longer you use it. Now that school year just started, i also started to sort things out of the closet.
These are my kids used socks, I chose the two color combination because I want to make my doormat a colorful one. My husband also had used old socks which are dark in color and I made them a floor rag. I really love to use the sock rag especially when cleaning wet floors.
From left to right downward are the step by step procedure in making doormat out of used old socks.
I already had similar posts about recycling used old socks such as recycling socks to pony tail, pot holder, puppet and now I want to share another socks recycling and it is making absorbent doormats out of used old socks. Now I want to share my craft work which is recycling used old socks to absorbent doormat. What I love about socks is the absorbent fabric which is good to place on the restroom doorsteps. The absorbent texture will then keep your feet dry after bathing or using the restroom. It's fun and easy to do this craft, all you have to do is gather all the worn out or used old socks like what I have on the picture.

- Cut the socks in the middle
- Open it
- Cut the toe part in to four to make it flat
- Arrange the socks to your desired thickness, length and width like what you see on the images to form a rectangular shaped doormat
- After flatting the socks, you can now stitch manually or sew it.
