This cute penguin can be a great Christmas or winter craft for both adults and kids – easy to make, suitable for all ages.

It also solves a major problem… What to do with that empty mitten. Or that empty sock, because socks make the most amazing hats too. Put them all together for this craft project. If you’re one of the “lucky” ones and have tons of empty socks, especially white socks, you can make this awesome sock snowman too. Trust me, you won’t stop at just one.
