put socks on the feet of a ladder if using inside your house to keep from scratching your floors. Or on furniture legs when rearranging your furniture. Use for to store Christmas ornaments. Etc.

WHEN WE WERE MOVING I USED ALL THOSE MISMATCHED SOCKS TO PLACE GLASSWARE IN. NONE OF MY STUFF WAS BROKEN WHEN I UNPACKED. I ALSO USED OUR TOWELS AND TEE SHIRTS TO WRAP OUR DISHES UP IN. NO BROKEN DISHES. THIS ALSO SAVED ON PACKING MATERIAL AND NO PILES OF NEWSPAPER TO DEAL WITH. NO NEWSPRINT ALL OVER MY HANDS FROM WRAPPING BREAKABLES.

I ALSO USED THE SOCKS TO PUT BOTTLED CONDIMENTS LIKE PICKLES, SOY & HOT SAUCES ETC. TO PACK FOR MOVING.

IF YOU HAVE TO A DRESSING OR ACE BANDAGE ON YOUR FOOT DON’T STRETCH OUT A GOOD SOCK COVER WITH A MISMATCHED SOCK.

Well I don’t have a suggestion regarding what to do with those mismatched socks but one on reducing their number. We reduced the number of mismatched socks in our house for the boys anyway. With 5 sons we just buy black socks, either large or small. They all stay in a bin in the laundry room and each day the boys just grab 2 socks that are the same size. This has sure reduced “single” socks when one gets lost or has a hole in it.
Unfortunately our girls want to wear pretty colours so they still have the potential for mismatches:)

What a fabulous collection of ideas! I have a large mismatched sock collection (used primarily for dusting) but putting one on the oil bottle is a great idea!
