If making a bouquet of baby socks for a gift, choose colors that look good together.
The toe end should stick out over the edge of the sock as you roll.
Again, don’t roll either too tightly or too loosely.
It is important to push the wire high and wrap around a good base portion of the rolled part of the flower; otherwise, the rolls will fall out of shape. Be careful not to catch the sock fabric as you wind the wire in place.
If you select a pretty vase, this can be a keepsake for the parents, while a more simple option, such as a gift box, could be covered beautifully and serve as a storage box for the socks when in use. You could even print “socks” on the side of the box.
Colored glass balls or marbles can be used to hold the stems inside a container such as a vase; match them to the sock flower colors. Add real greenery as well, if wished. Baby’s breath, fern leaves, pussy willows, etc. , look wonderful interspersed with the baby sock flowers. An alternative option to placing in a container is to wrap the stems in a receiving/baby blanket to look like the paper florist’s use to wrap around flowers. Be sure to add a bow to finish the look and hold the folded blanket in place.
