To make these super cute Sock/Bib Bouquet's you just need a few pairs of socks (in whatever colour you like), a couple of bibs, and possibly a small onesie (preferably sleeveless) - if you want to add more to your bouquet, it just needs to not be TOO big and fat when rolled up.
You can grab a bunch of fake flowers, preferably connected at the bottom in a bunch, from the local $2 shop and some green (or white) florist tape.
Now, grab your bib or sock (do ONE sock at a time, NOT a pair) and roll it up nice and tight and down the bottom half of the rolled up bib or sock wrap florist tape around it nice and tight. Get your bunch of fake flowers and you should be able to pull a couple of the flower heads OFF of their stems, now you can push a few of the finished socks onto the stems with no flower heads. You can also pull a few leaves off the bottom of the fake flower bunch and attach to a sock or bib when you've rolled it up and wrap the florist tape around the bottom of the leaf and the sock - this helps to blend the flowers/leaves/socks/bibs together.
Once you have a couple of socks/bibs on stems, the rest of the socks/bibs can just be pushed in amongst the others and then to make sure they stay in place and don't fall down, wrap it up in some cellophane, tissue paper or similar and wrap it nice and tight around the top to ensure they can't move around/fall down etc. Then tie a nice, tight ribbon around the bottom to complete the look!
It's actually quite simple once you know what you're doing and it is such a cute and fun way of giving your gift.
