What does candy socks looks like?
Candy socks looks like this. The material is similar to pantyhose but much shorter.
I bought them from SoxWorld @ MYR11 for 5 pairs.
![Page 4: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
STEP 1: MAKE THE FIRST NIPPLE
The first nipple will become inverted later…
![Page 5: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
We start by forming the nipple on the inverted side.
Firstly, turn the sock inside-out,
do a running stitch on the tip of the sock (where your toes are),
following the edge from one side to another.
![Page 6: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Then, gently pull the thread to gather the fabrics together.
![Page 7: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Tie a knot.
![Page 8: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Use yarn to loop around the tip you just formed.
Leave about 5cm extra yarn at the beginning so that you can tie a knot with it,
loop yarn around for more than 10 times, tie a tight knot and cut off extra yarns.
![Page 9: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Cut felt into two 7cm diameter round pieces,
or whatever size you prefer the areola to be.
Mark the center.
![Page 10: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Attach one of the felt pieces onto the tip of the nipple.
![Page 11: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Turn socks back to the correct side, now you see an areola!
Loop threads around the base of the nipple, tie a knot to form nipple.
It's not inverted yet, we'll take care of that later.
![Page 12: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
STEP 2: MAKE THE SECOND NIPPLE
The second nipple will be a normal nipple.
![Page 13: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
It's time to insert cotton fillings / polyester stuffings, fill up half of the sock.
![Page 14: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Use needle and thread to make a knot to secure the end.
![Page 15: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Loop the knot with yarn like the first one,
then cut off extra yarns.
![Page 16: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cut an X shape in the center of the piece of felt we prepared earlier.
![Page 17: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Insert sock into the hole of the felt.
![Page 18: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Turn the sock all the way inside out to wrap around the breast.
(Pic above is only turned half way)
![Page 19: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Do a running stitch around the nipple.
![Page 20: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tighten thread gently to gather fabrics, tie a knot to complete the nipple.
![Page 21: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
You may stitch through the nipple to hide your knot. (Do not cut off thread yet)
The normal nipple has complete!
![Page 22: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
STEP 3: MAKEMONTGOMERY'S
GLANDS
![Page 23: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
If you have not cut off the thread,
continue to stitch through the nipple and part of areola,
exiting your needle from a random spot of the areola.
![Page 24: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Randomly making knots around the areola to create Montgomery's glands.
![Page 25: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Randomly making knots around the areola to create Montgomery's glands.
![Page 26: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
STEP 4: MAKE AN INVERTED NIPPLE
![Page 27: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
We've completed the second nipple,
now its time to make an inverted nipple out of the first one.
To do that, we have to cut a small opening on the inner part of the sock's cuff.
![Page 28: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Then we will insert an elastic band into the opening.
If you do not have elastic band like this one, you may use a rubber band instead.
![Page 29: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Use needle and thread to bring in the elastic band.
If you are using rubber band, since rubber bands are short,
you may want to place a clip at the end, so that it won’t slide in all the way.
![Page 30: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Gather the fabrics until it surrounds the nipple,
while still allowing the nipple to protrude if we stretch the elastic band.
Tie a knot.
![Page 31: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Cut off extra elastic band.
![Page 32: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
With a little stretch, the knot will be hidden into the fabrics.
Don't forget to add Montgomery's glands for this areola as well!
![Page 33: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
You may adjust the opening up and down to form different types of nipples.
Look! Here's a flat nipple.
![Page 34: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Hide the nipple all the way inside, and there we have an inverted nipple!
Please note that this inverted nipple does not respond to the syringe nipple puller at all, therefore it's not suitable to demonstrate this method.
![Page 35: Do-It-Yourself Cloth Breast Model Guide€¦ · · 2015-06-03Cloth Breast Model Guide. You'll need:](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022507/5ac8681f7f8b9a6b578c17fe/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
