Expenses are tight this year so for my niece and nephew Im going to make gifts for them using socks, buttons, and whatever else I can find to make Sock Creatures. Now when I mean tight I mean I really can‘t afford to go get craft stuffing!! (Okay I could but would rather not) I have two HUGE bags of old clothes destined for crafts/salvation army to work with. (I am HAND SEWING all of this!) My question is what can I use to stuff them? Has to be able to be washed and retain shape, I like to reuse old stuff around the house so keep in mind Im NOT going to the store for anything, :)Thanks to all-cheapskate :)
Old pillow stuffing. Pull it out and fluff it up. Shredded clothing. If you have old polyester fleece clothing, that would be ideal. Shredded synthetic sweaters would work as well. Stay away from hard cloth, and stuff that is all cotton, as it will pack down. You could use some fluffy cotton, such as sweatshirt material, in your mix, but I would add something poly just to keep it from getting too squished.
