Now that you have your supplies, it is time to make your sock stick horse. You can use the directions below to do just that. Be sure to pin or print these for use later as you will need them to assemble this one.

How to Make Sock Stick Horses

Print Pin Rate
Supplies
- Brown socks I found mine in the men’s department at Walmart.
- Faux leather fabric in black I purchased one yard cut of fabric. A 1/4 of a yard would have been plenty.
- Suede lace 1/8 inch
- Lion Brand Yarn in Barley
- Brass Plated Keyrings 2 per horse (30 mm rings work best)
- 1 inch Jingle Bells 2 per horse
- 2 white and 2 black buttons per horse
- Brown felt
- Brown embroidery thread
- 2 1/2 inch Styrofoam ball
- Red plaid material or bandanna
- Hemp twine
- E6000 glue
- Fiberfill stuffing
- 5/8 inch dowel rod 36 inches long
Whew. You are done! I kept on making and making until I had an entire herd of horses ready for a party.

So far so good on these horses. We have had the party and did not have any horse heads come off. I believe the E6000 is working but if you find it fails for you an alternate method for attaching the head may be in order.

Grab a pack of socks next time you are at Walmart and make your little buckaroo their own sock stick horse. This will provide hours of entertainment for your little one!

You could even recycle an old sock into this fun craft. Just be sure to follow the instructions above. I think you could substitute a lot of the supplies actually. And if you don’t have things like the jingle bells, just leave them off!

Kids of all ages will love using their imagination to ride a cute horse and they are actually pretty easy to make yourself.

So, make a DIY stick horse (or five) and get to riding! I can just imagine what your kids will think of this fun craft idea.
