Baby Shower Bouquet and Tutorial

Remember my Hugs and Kisses Baby Shower? Well, I thought I would share my gift/centerpiece for the gift table.

What mom-to-be doesn't love flowers? Especially ones that will benefit her baby and not wither away?!

I used baby socks, washcloths, and bibs for the roses.

Supplies: floral sticks (I couldn't find any without the wire attached and so I just wound the wire around the top of the stick), artificial rose leaves (I cut some off of some dollar store roses), floral tape, and desired colors of baby socks, washcloths, and bibs. I think the ones with the frilly/scalloped edges turn out the cutest.

Step 1:

Simply start a tight roll at the toe end of the sock (for the washcloths, fold lengthwise in half then in half again, then roll at an angle. Same with the bibs).

Continue to roll up.

Step 2:

Take the opening of the sock and fold it around the bottom of the rose.

Step 3:

Place floral stick in the base of the rose.

Step 4:

Holding firmly, tightly wrap the floral tape around the rose base and stick.

Step 5:

Wrap all the way down making sure it is secure so the rose won't unravel. Add a set of leaves and wrap more floral tape around them to hold in place.

Arrange them all in a container/vase of your choice. I chose this one to match the hugs and kisses theme(found in dollar section at Target). I then added some little artificial flowers to fill in the gaps.

I also found this cute headband and clip set that matched the colors so I added them on as part of the gift. Super easy and super cute.
