1
The main ingredient we'll need for this DIY is a pair of footless tights. I love using ones from the girls department at stores like Target or Wal-mart because they're cheap and always come in fun colors/patterns! You'll also need a sewing machine with a zig zag stitch, thread, and scissors.

2
Fold your tights in half, making sure the bottom hems are lined up nice and even.
-
3
Use a ruler to measure about four inches* away from the seat seam. Mark this measurement.
* If you want your socks to be taller/shorter then please feel free to adjust this measurement to your liking.
-
4
Cut straight across from the measurement you marked in the previous step.

After you cut the legs off from the tights you’ll have these two tubular pieces of fabric. Sew the raw ends of the tubes shut with a zigzag stitch. I like to sew mine with the sock right-side out; that way the seam will be on the outside of the sock rather than inside where it can irritate your toes.
