Not sure what to do with your little ones' socks? This memento from your tot's early days will help you remember his/her tiny tootsies long after he/she's graduated to shoes. I found this craft on Parents.com.
1. Cut the foam core to fit inside your shadow box.
2. Fold the fabric or paper around the foam core and secure it with duct tape.
3. Arrange the socks as shown above, then attach them with glue dots.
4. Write your child's name and birth date on a piece of card stock (the one shown is three inches across) and attach it with glue dots.
5. Place the foam core in the shadow box and hang it on the wall.
