Baby Bouquet
Baby Sock Bouquet Instructions:
1. Place one sock in front of you with the toe pointing to your left. Work on a flat surface to roll the baby socks.
2. Roll the sock up. At the toe, begin to roll the sock. Roll it to the right, until you get to the cuff, or the very top part of the sock. Make sure to roll each sock tightly, so it stays in place and doesn’t fall apart.
3. Place your thumbs on the roll to hold it in place. Use your fingers to pull the cuff up slightly over the bottom part of rolled portion of the sock. The cuff will hold the rose in place.
4. To make the shape of a rose, find the toe of the baby socks and pull it up a little bit.
5. Insert a 12 inch long piece of green floral wire deep into the opening underneath the bottom of the rose.
6. Use green floral tape to wrap the rose and wire in place. Be sure to wrap the tape several times to keep the sock and wire securely together. Continue wrapping the base of the rose with the floral tape. Continue down the wire stem to the bottom and cut the tape. Repeat this process to make as many roses as you want for the baby sock bouquet.
7. Place the roses into a vase; add additional greenery, other floral pieces, baby’s breath and/or other small flowers to add volume to the baby sock bouquet.
