This is something that I made about 10 years ago! It was at one of those Souper Saturday things that the Relief Society puts on every year! I still love it!
1. First get a piece of wood (12 inches long, 3 1/2inches wide, 1inch thick)
2. Drill 4 holes near the bottom(measure 1.5 inches from each side and drill a hole,then measure 5.5inches in from each side and drill a hole.(you should now have 4 holes drilled.)
3. Now measure at the top 1 inch in from each side and drill a hole(making 2 more holes)
4. Stain the wood and let dry.
5. Then take a wide angle brush and black craft paint and paint on the words
LAUNDRY 5 c(cents sign)
6. Make a bow with raffia and hot glue in the top left corner.
7. Then take thin wire(about 20 inches long) and thread through from the back and secure in the hole by taking the wire and forming it around a pencil. This will make it so you can hang your laundry sign.
8. Next, take a pair of tube socks(white or grey, all one color. mine is grey-it hides the dust better!).
9. Hot glue them together in the middle .
10. Hot glue the buttons on and also the bows that are on the buttons.
11. Then cut out the patches from those knee patch things that you can buy in the store and Iron on.
12. Add stitch lines with a permanent black marker(to make it look like that is how you stitched the patches on ).
13. Take some twine and tie around the bottom of the socks to make feet. I added little bells to the tie on the feet.
14. Then on the top, take two wires(8 in long) and poke and thread through the sock to make it look like shoulders.
15. Thread the wire thru the back of the wood to the front and then wrap extra wire around a pencil to hold in place.
So that is how it is made. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I do not remember how much this cost me to make, because it was so long ago. I do love my laundry sign!
