Baby Sock Corsage

Created By: Rachelle Carroll

The Relief Society in my ward asked me to come up with an inexpensive gift idea for the new arrivals in the ward. (Within the next 3 months, there will be 16 births in the ward). This is the baby sock corsage.

All my supplies were purchased in the Walmart craft section. I got Green flower sticks which came with wire already attached to the top. The took three leaves and wrapped the wire to hold them in place. I then took a little white baby breath (leaves and baby breath plastic) and using flower tape wrapped the top of the stick holding the leaves and baby breath firmly in place.

Next I took a pair of infant 0-6 socks (girls and boys, I got a pack of 10 for $12) and rolled the sock to look like a flower bud. (For the boys socks I could only find white socks, but the girls was a pack with half color, some plain white and a couple with lace on it.) You do this by starting to roll the sock at the toe slightly diagonal. About 3/4 of the way of rolling, you take the opening of the sock and flip it around the rolled part to secure.

Next I took green flower wire and wrapped around the bud, flipping the edge of the sock over to cover the wire and secured each flower with the wire to one of the leaves.

I took colored ribbon and using wire, made bows able to be attached.

The last step, I took petti coat netting ($1 a yard) folded like a fan and held to the back of stick. Using the bow with the wire, attached the bow and the netting at the same time.

Overall I made 20 corsages for under $40.
