When we moved I found a random sock stuffed in between the cushions of the sofa, down the back of a radiator and in different drawers so I know they never go far.... but Oh.My.Days we have more than our fair share of odd socks I'm sure!
Until now!
Save Dobby lost sock holder
I recently bought this little beaut the last time I was in town for £1.50!! (I may go back for more!). I'm not a fan of the sign as it is, but we all know that nothing is what it seems when it comes into my house.....
Checking the size of my lettering on my bargain Love sign!
I've kept the heart, never know when that's going to come in handy.... I'm such a hoarder, can you tell?!
The B on the sign is there as a measure.....
Last week I mentioned my love for stationery and my 'just in case' supply of scrapbooking paper.... Well, thanks to scrapping the magic, the Daily Prophet came in handy for this project.
I knew this would come in handy one day!

Covering the sign with decoupage paper
Next up was to cover my newly painted letters with gold glitter. This job I gave to my son, and it took all my self-control to not interfere!!
Letters from the local craft shop
Add a little bit of magic
Once the letters were decorated, I also painted some small pegs gold (I left off the glitter as I didn't want that falling into the socks!!). I then set about gluing them all to my new sign, using my beloved Mod Podge.... and I got glitter EVERYWHERE!

Leave until dry and hang somewhere that even a house elf can reach.
