1. Take three pairs of socks, a ribbon, a pen and a bow or ribbon for jewelry.
2. We roll socks into rolls and for the strength of the product we fix with a pin or rubber band. They will imitate the caterpillar and wheels of the tank.
3. We spread one toe so that the heel does not stick out. On it we lay out rolls of socks so that they pressed tightly against each other. We wrap and dress the toe, fasten with a pin or rubber band.
4. From the last sock we construct a tower folding in several layers.
5. We connect the tower with the main body with a ribbon or bow.
6. We insert a handle into the tank’s tower, as if imitating a muzzle.

A plane that cannot fly:

1. Cut the wings and tail of the plane out of cardboard.
2. We twist five socks into rolls and place them at the beginning of the sixth sock.
3. The tail of the aircraft is inserted into the last roll, covered with a rubber band of the sock, tucking it inside.
4. We put on a toe on each wing, fasten it with a body with a pin.

Important! If you have time and desire with imagination, you can:

• From paper cut out the figures of windshields or stars on the wings.
• Make a chassis - fold the toe from two sides to the middle (from the gum and sock). They are fastened with safety pins, and then from the bottom to the case.

Put the plane in a beautiful place, for example, on a box of chocolates - many men also like to treat themselves to sweets.

Getting to the construction of the rocket:

1. We twist the socks in pairs, turning the heel into the inside of the product.

3. It must be stable - for this we make three triangular supports, we place them on the sides.
4. The top will be conical, decorated with wrapping paper.

Cake

The cake is quite simple, but expensive in terms of resources. It is also desirable that the cake was based on a bottle of alcohol, shaving foam, shower gel or spray, aerosol deodorant.

So let's get started:

1. The selected rod is put at the base of the table.
2. Cooking "cake". We twist all socks in pairs for the first tier, connect with elastic bands. We spread the first roll around the rod you have chosen. In the second tier we make a little less rolls.

Important! The second tier is already doing not in pairs, but separately.

3. The first “cake” is fastened with tape. The second tier is made using exactly the same technique.

Important! The number of tiers vary based on the amount of “consumable” and your imagination.

4. Then we cut out a cardboard, round base of a suitable size, pack it in a transparent tape.
