Easy Rustic Baby Shower Centerpieces

These DIY sock rose arrangements are fun and easy to make. They can be made well ahead of time, just adding baby's breath on the big day. Choose your theme with matching coloured socks and the new baby will have a bunch of new socks when the day is over!

What you'll need:

Mini clay pots

Green florist sponge

Burlap

Wooden skewers 

Pruners or strong scissors

Cuffed baby socks

Silk greenery, vines

Cupcake toppers

Double stick tape

Baby's breath

Start by cutting florist sponge into pieces that will fit in the pots. Tuck in a square of burlap. 

Our theme was classic Winnie the Pooh so we found these cute cupcake toppers (Amazon find) and used double stick tape to attach them back to back on a skewer.

The sock roses were fun to make but remember when buying the socks that you will be turning the cuff inside out so make sure the inside looks the same as the outside (not thready). What you need to do is start at the toe and roll the sock up, then turn the cuff up over the bottom of the rose. Adjust to form the shaped rose (full or bud) you want then place the skewer up in the bottom for the stem. You may want to snip the skewers at different lengths using a pruner.

Once all the roses are made add a sprig of greenery to the pot, place the roses and themed toppers then fill in any gaps with baby's breath. 

They can be placed on burlap runners with garlands of more greenery to complete the look.
