My kids love Arm Warmers! They are probably the easiest and fastest thing I have ever made. I love that they allow my kids to wear their favorite short sleeve shirts all year long. They are also wonderful for these fall days when it is chilly in the morning, but warms up in the afternoon. My kids can leave for school with their arms covered and it is easy to strip off their Arm Warmers as the temperature goes up.
To make Arm Warmers you will need just a few supplies:
Needle
Thread
Scissors
A pair of Socks (To make warmers for children you will need a pair of adult size knee high socks. To make warmers for an adult you will need a pair of adult size thigh high socks)
Step One- Cut foot part of socks off, just above heel.
Step Two- Fold cut edge of sock tube over about 3/8 of an inch and whip stitch all the way around opening.
And they are ready to go!
Arm Warmers make a very thoughtful, handmade Christmas gift (hmmm, maybe a stocking stuffer idea?). The last few times I have been to Big Lots they have had 4 packs of Knee Highs for $5. That makes each pair of Arm Warmers $1.25 and they only take 15-20 minutes to whip up.
