Video Tutorial:  How to Make a Satin Covered Sock Bun

1.  First, cut the toe off of an old sock.

2.  Starting at the end that was cut, roll the sock making a donut shape.


3.  Secure the rolled sock by wrapping the opening around the new donut shape.


4.  Next, take your satin material and fold it with the shiny sides together and cut your desired width
     (this should be about 1/2 an inch bigger than the widest part of your donut shaped sock bun).


5.  Now sew a running stitch down the open end of the satin material.  When you get to the end of
     the fabric, reinforce the stitch by second running stitch down the same side.


6.  Take your satin material and feed it through the sock bun.


7.  Start folding your material down over the sock bun in the same fashion that you did when you
     were making your original donut shape.


8.  Once you finish, take your threaded needle and secure the loose ends of the satin covering using a
     whip stitch.
