How to make tube sock arm warmers

My dad goes on business trips to other countries all the time, and he always brings back the little travel bag that they give out on the plane. It usually has basics in it like chap stick, toothbrush and toothpaste, comb etc. Something else it always holds? A really cheap pair of tube socks. But it gets worse. They are usually in a dull color. Naturally, people would throw these away as soon as they got home, but i asked my dad if I could have them (don't worry, he never wore them ^_~). I got out my scissors and came up with this pair of cozy fingerless arm warmers. I like to wear them with a big bright ring to spice up the dull gray color, but you can embellish them however you like. You could put bows on the wrist or seam, do chaos stitching down the side, or put an applique. They are the perfect blank canvas embellish howver your heart desires.



Go on a quest for:
A long pair of tube socks. This means that they have to built in heel.
Thread
Needle
Scissors
Embellishments (optional)
Step one: cut the toe-seam off of socks. Cut off as little or as much as you want, depending on how long you want you arm warmers to be
Step two: Slide the sock onto your arm so that your fingers stick out of the end that used to have the toe-seam.
Step three: make a small cut where you think the hole for your thumb should be. Dont cut it to big, because the knit will stretch out to fit your thumb. You can always cut more, but you can never cut less.
Step four: whip stitch around the hole for your thumb WHILE IT IS ON. Just be careful for to prick yourself. This will ensure that you dont pull the thread and make the hole to tight for your
thumb.

Step five: whip stitch around the hole where the rest of your fingers go WHILE IT IS ON. Again, be careful.

Step six: glue, sew, or iron on any embellishments you have chosen, or just wear them plain. Scrunch them up at the wrist for a cozy look.
