How To Make A Sock Monster
Lots of people have asked for tips on how to get going with their own exciting monster creations. So here’s a 1-2-3 ‘How To’ poster to download that i made for the Workshop at Shunt. It’s A3 format so you can see the details. Most important tip is to remember to leave a hole in his arse to stuff him through! ;) If you do make anything, i’d love to see photos - mail them over Monster Makers.

[...] It was drizzling a bit on the weekend so i tucked myself up in an armchair, watching documentaries on BBC iPlayer, and got to work on a new sock based fellow. Here he is, fresh and bleary eyed into the world, for your delectation. I got a few shots of him while he limbered up and prepared to squeeze into a jiffy bag, for a ride with Royal Mail to his new owner. And remember - if you ever comes across one after dark, beware. Don’t chuck water on him, or feed him cheese - all hell breaks loose. You have been warned… How to make your own - tutorial here. [...]

Thanks for sharing this! Great instructions. I especially love how the heal makes a worn-out butt.
Said, on February 1st, 2009 at 9:01 am :
Cheers Marc! They sit up well using the heal as the arse. There’s also a secret way to make a cool mouth using the heal ( but he ends up arse-less ;) ). You can gather up the heal from the back, and sew along to make lips and a tounge. They look especialy good with giant eyes. Send us some pics if you make any!
Cheers,Nicky
