Baby clothing bouquet is a perfect baby shower gift that new moms adore. It is admired not just for its beauty but also for its functionality. The bouquet combines bibs, socks, knit hats, onesies, diapers, bath towels, rattlers, pacifiers, and small toys everything that a new mom needs in one gift. You can create an exquisite masterpiece out of these things that don’t necessarily have to be expensive.
Things You’ll Need
Apart from assorted baby items mentioned above you’ll need:
- A fish bowel or a vase
- Wooden dowel rods (12” pieces)
- Fabric or plastic leaves
- Rubber bands and tape
Instructions
Step 1: Fold the larger pieces like towels, blankets, baby clothes etc loosely and attach a rubber band near the bottom of the roll. These will make the larger flowers.
Step 2: Roll the smaller items like socks, bibs etc tightly and secure them with a rubber band in the centre. These will make flower buds.
Step 3: Push a dowel rod into the flower and use a tape to secure it to the flower. The dowel rod will resemble a flower’s stem and you can get it easily from any craft shop.
Step 4: Pull apart the layers of the clothing to resemble a blossoming flower. Now attach plastic or fabric leaves to the stem i.e. the dowel rod.
Step 5: Fill the vase or fish bowl with baby toys, pacifiers, rattlers etc to help hold up the flowers. Arrange the flowers that you have created in the container. Few baby clothing flowers will make the bouquet spread widely and many of them will make it stand upright. You can make as many flowers as are enough to get the desired look.
To make an economical baby clothing bouquet you can get a few expensive items and the remaining can be bought at discounted prices. With a little thought and effort in creating this bouquet you can wow everyone at a baby shower. Go ahead, enjoy the attention! Also read about following Crafts :
