HOW TO: Valentine Cozy Feet & Sweet Treat Sock Gift or Favor

I first came up with this idea and cute little poem as a little affordable gift for the gal's on Valentine's Day, however it was such a hit that I've done it multiple years since for my children's teachers and teammates 🥰 Just such an easy and affordable Valentine that works for just about for anyone in your life! Check out the steps below if you want to make your own for a friend, coworker or their classmates this year 💘

FIRST UP, THE SUPPLIES:
• Lollipops
• Socks
• Sock Wrappers
• Tape
• Paper Cutter or Scissors
• Exacto Knife or Sharp Knife

The socks and lollipops shown in the sample photos were all purchased at the Dollar Tree, however these work great on any socks and you can purchase yours anywhere! Looking to give them out to an entire classroom or team? Check out the adorable favor packs like these on Amazon to save yourself some money:

 

STEP 1  → Your Wrappers

First up you'll want to purchase your sock wrappers, edit and download. We offer the editable instant download here on brieezyboutique.com or in our Etsy shop. Once ordered, you should receive an email from Corjl with your link to edit within a few minutes of purchase!  

STEP 2  → Printing & Cutting

Once you've downloaded your printable files, it's time to print! Whether you are printing from home or your local office supply print lab (such as Office Depot, Staples, Kinkos, etc.), a variety of papers work great for this project! I would personally recommend any white or bright white paper under #80lb. You can absolutely go thicker if you would prefer, however I found it easiest to wrap around the socks with a less dense paper or cardstock. Your wrappers will print 4  2½ x 8½'' on a standard 8½ x 11'' page for you.

If you are printing from home:

Once you open up your printable wrapper, it should be ready to print! Double check your paper settings are set to a standard 8½ x 11'' size and check any other details you might want to change such as quality or paper type. 

If you are printing elsewhere:

Most bigger print chains like Staples, Kinkos & Office Depot offer the ability to upload your file online, choose your paper type, place your order and then pick up in store! Many do also offer cutting for a low cost per order or free cutting tools for you to use when you pick up. If you have a straight edge or scrapbooking cutter at home, those also work great!

STEP 3 → Preparing Your Wrappers

If you will be adding a lollipop or other sweet treat to your socks, you'll want to use an Exacto knife or very sharp pocket knife to create slits in your wrappers.

Choose where you want your treat to pop through and cut! Don't forget your cutting board 😉 Wiggle your candy through your slit and you are ready for for the last step!

STEP 4 → Wrapping Your Sock

Place your wrapper & lollipop over the middle of your folded sock. Turn it over, and seal it up! I just used the extra clear scotch tape and it was almost unnoticeable on the white paper. However you can also staple or hot glue (be careful!) as well. If you want the wrapper to have less chance of shifting position, slightly crease down on the sides around the sock to secure it a little bit 😊 And WALAA! Cozy feet and sweet treats for everyone this Valentine's Day!
