How To Make A Sock Rose Bouquet GiftLearn how to create beautiful sock roses that will actually last..that is, until the new mommy needs the socks!
This fun baby shower gift can also double as an attractive table centerpiece. The rose bouquet tutorial listed on this page is for the open rose design method, not the rosebud method. You can mix and match style designs to make a creative and beautiful gift. This baby gift is both easy to make and great to use if you have a limited budget.
You Will Need: Decorative fillers:
To make your baby rose, start by laying the sock flat infront of you.
Start rolling the sock starting at the toe and roll up to the heel. Angle the sock slightly to create the inside of your rose.
Take the top of the sock and roll downward over the center of the rose. Curl the edges back to make the outside of your open rose.
Cut your craft or floral wire to size and thread through the hole in the bottom of your rose.
Wrap your floral tape around the sock base to attach it to the wire. Pull on the tape as you go to activate the "stickiness" in the tape.
Attach your silk leaves to your rose by wrapping the leaf wire around your rose wire.
Starting at the base of the rose, finish wrapping the rose stem with floral tape, winding around the leaves.
Place sock roses in a vase. Add the silk baby's breath and fern leaves as fillers for your bouquet. Additional Tips And Ideas Use different sock colors to add your own special design and touch to the rose bouquet.
These step by step rose instructions were made with normal thin baby socks, but you could also use socks that have lace
for a delicate touch and the thick furry socks for a soft touch.
