This is the first tutorial I've ever done. It's for sock stick horse - really easy, really fast, really cute and *really* inexpensive. It would make a fun Christmas present. My four 1/2 year old plays with hers all the time, and my 2 year old loves hers.

I bought a pack of 10 pairs of cotton socks for $6, a sheet of 4 buttons for 50 cents, two $1 dowels and used 1/2 a bag of $3 batting for two horses. I used fabric and ribbon scraps I had. So each horse cost me $3.10. You could do it even cheaper if you used all items that you had on hand already.

Oh, thank you! They're so easy to make, and since socks come in pairs, you can't make just one! lol

I made two for my 6 year old and 2 year old. They have named their horses Lightning and Dora respectively. So simple and inexpensive to make and they absolutely love them.
