Giving a tank of socks on February 23 has already become a classic. And no matter how many jokes there are, socks are things that are necessary and are not superfluous in the household. And if you are smart and add a touch of creativity, men will definitely like such a gift. We offer 3 workshops on creating a festive composition.
Tank of socks in 5 minutes
This simple tank can be made even by a child. For example, a daughter as a gift to dad on Defender of the Fatherland Day. The master class is intended for beginners. It can be used in kindergarten and school.
To create a composition you will need:
- 3 pairs of men's socks;
- tape 30-40 cm;
- a pen.
Socks are best taken in plain colors. To make the tank beautiful, special attention should be paid to rolling socks. Rolls should be dense, tight, with neat, even edges.
Step-by-step instruction:
- Spread the heel up. Roll up the roll, starting with an elastic band.
- Make 4 rolls.
- Spread 5-1 socks and center the prepared rolls.
- Connect the edges of the sock by inserting the front into the middle of the elastic.
- Turn over the “tank caterpillar” so that the junction is below.
- Make a roll from the remaining sock and place on top in the manner of the tower.
- Tie the "tower" to the "caterpillar" with a ribbon and tie a beautiful bow. Insert the "barrel" - the handle into the tower. Done!
Big tank of socks on February 23
The next workshop is a bit more complicated. But what a beautiful and spectacular tank it turns out in the end! To create it, you need the following materials:
- 4 pairs of men's socks;
- 1.5 m tape 1.5–3 cm thick protective or green;
- 8 rubber bands for money;
- 2 pins;
- double sided tape;
- scissors;
- 2 red stars (can be cut out of colored paper).
Working process:
- Roll 5 socks into neat, tight rolls. Secure with rubber bands.
- Place 2 cuts of tape 25-30 cm long on the table. Place prepared rolls in the center. Wrap them with ribbons (tight) and secure with double-sided tape. Turn over.
- Fold the sock in half and roll it into a thin narrow roll, starting from the side. Tie both ends with rubber bands for money. Wrap the ends of the roll with ribbons and tape them together.
- Fold together the 2 remaining socks and twist into a thick roll. Use an elastic band to fasten, decorate with a ribbon.
- Assemble the composition with the help of pins: attach 2 parts of the "tower" to the "caterpillar".
- Decorate the tank with stars by attaching them to double-sided tape. Here's what you get in the end:
Tank with a surprise
You can make a tank not only from socks. The composition is perfectly complemented by a miniature bottle of cognac, beer, men's perfume water or, for example, aftershave. Sweet tooth advocates can make a tank of socks and chocolate coins.

Tanks from socks can be given to men of all ages. This gift will be welcomed by children, adults, and even grandfathers. Importantly, a composition can be made with your own hands in no more than a quarter of an hour. Follow the step-by-step photo instructions, tightly and evenly roll your socks - and everything will certainly work out!
