A wonderful way to arrange a surprise is to make a bouquet of clothes for newborns from things like this.
It is done very quickly and simply, and looks very impressive. To make a bouquet you will need:
- any items of clothing for babies: socks, rompers, blouses, vests, caps, thin hats, slips, overalls;
- a basket, vase, bucket, flower pot or other suitable base for a bouquet;
- materials for decoration: artificial flowers and leaves, bows, ribbons, pieces of fabric, colored paper, other decorative elements;
- skewers and tape or tape if the flowers are on the stems;
- wrapping.
Depending on the type of clothing, the methods for making flowers from them differ slightly. To make a flower out of socks, you first need to twist it into a tube.
It is necessary to twist tightly, but not tightening too much. If the bud is weak, it will quickly fall apart or be shapeless. Next, you need to turn the edge of the sock out on one side.
Then carefully turn the edge over on the other side, imitating rose petals.
This is what a bud should look like from one sock.
If desired, the resulting flower can be secured with tape or tape on a skewer and the leaves can be attached. A flower from a cap or cap is twisted in the same way. It is advisable to bend one edge so that the top of the flower is even.
After this, roll it up and bend the edges in the same way as socks.
Rompers and trousers are rolled up, starting from the legs from the bottom up. If necessary, the trouser legs are pre-folded on each side along the edge.
The legs are rolled up separately, then together to the top edge. Similar items of clothing make two roses.
Vests, sweaters and other similar items of clothing can be rolled up the sleeves separately, getting a small rose from each. To obtain a larger flower, the sleeves are folded inward.
If it is a jumpsuit or slip, it can be folded in half. Then the resulting rectangle is rolled into a roll.
The result is a rose like this.
If the item is not folded in half and rolled, then, depending on the size of the item, you may end up with two flowers on each side, as is the case with sliders. By folding the overalls in the same way, you can get one large or four small buds from the sleeves and legs.
The resulting buds are collected into a bouquet and decorated.If the flowers are on stems, they are first fixed together in a vase, pot or wrapping paper. If the flowers are without stems, the buds are evenly placed on the base.
As decorative elements you can use artificial flowers and leaves, bows, ribbons, pieces of fabric, colored paper, Stuffed Toys. For example, this bouquet uses artificial leaves, flower branches of two sizes - small and medium, large roses.
To add completeness, the resulting bouquet should be wrapped in transparent wrapping paper and tied with a wide ribbon or bow. Such an original bouquet of clothes for newborns will be a wonderful gift that will pleasantly surprise parents and delight the baby with useful things.
