How to Make Onesie Tulips

A onesie tulip bouquet is sure to get a reaction from an expecting mother.

A tulip bouquet made out of onesies is the perfect gift for a mother-to-be expecting to blossom in the spring. Simple and cheap to make, your thoughtful flowers will not only be useful once the baby comes, but will also be a lovely nursery decoration in the meantime. For a friend, for your daughter, for a baby shower or for your partner, this sentimental display is sure to get a reaction.

Things You'll Need

• Basket or decorated pot
• Basket filler or tissue paper
• Onesies
• Clear rubber bands

Instructions

1. Stuff a basket or pot with filler or crunched up tissue paper three-quarters of the way full.

2. Lay a onesie out flat on the table. Make sure that the crotch is snapped shut and that any strings or buttons are done-up.

3. Fold the bottom of the onesie in towards the belly so that the fold lays at the top of the leg holes.

4. Take each side of the onesie and fold them inwards so that the edges meet in the middle. Fold the sleeves in.

5. Roll the onesie tightly, starting at the neck and working your way to the end. Secure one end of the roll with a clear rubber band.

6. Separate the folded layers of the un-banded side of your onesie tulip to open its petals and place it in your prepared basket, adding filler where needed.

Tips & Warnings

• Although short-sleeve onesies produce the most convincing flowers, you can also use baby socks, hats and bibs.

• Add ribbon and fresh or silk flowers to your onesie tulips for an even more spectacular basket.
