After making THIS Onesie Bouquet, I got hundreds (no joking) of emails/request’s asking me to share HOW I got the baby onesie’s to look like flower buds. Many people wanted to order them. It would be rather pricey for me to sell them, if you count the cost of the items, and MY TIME 😀
I was so overwhelmed, and flattered that SO many people liked it that much 😀 THANK YOU!
As I am going to share, it is actually REALLY EASY to make. It is however, somewhat time consuming if you are a little anal-like myself 😀 I need my onesie “buds” to be perfect. I do think I will make this for every new mom. It’s just a really FUN gift idea 😀
Let’s get to it!
My fellow PTI design team member Geny, is due to have a bouncin baby boy this June! So I promised her I would make her one for her son 😀 Now the “tin” part isn’t done being decorated yet, because I ordered THIS SET, the other day, and am waiting for delivery 😀 Then if she does see this here on my blog she will still be a bit surprised by the decoration on the tin itself.
NOTE: This is not for contest or publication
If you decide to create one-send me a link! I would love to see it 😀
So I decided that white onesie’s would be best for the boy project, since I wasn’t sure if I were going with yellow, blue or red accent flowers. I think I should always have a pack on hand now! You just never know. make one in yellow and you are golden for a last minute gift for any sex child 😀
You should get the 0-3 month size. a 5 pack is best!
I found this bucket at Michaels for $1.99, and it was just the PERFECT size! To me it screamed BOY! BUY ME! It has a cute handle, and I secured the top under the handle with a large glue dot.
In the girl tin I used the large heart tin from Papertrey Ink-I didnt want a heart for a boy though-needed to be more “rugged”.
I used some designer paper from SU! called the East Coast Prep collection (again-perfect!). I simply covered the bottom portion of the tin. Kept it simple. I plan on cutting out particular animals in the set I linked above, and adding them around the tin. I think it is pretty cute as is though.
WHAT YOU NEED
*Tin/container of choice* 5 pack of white onesies-size 0-3 months* White floral tape* Glue Dots* Leaves* Paper/Prima Flowers* Tin filler*
Decorate your container as desired FIRST! This will help determine what your flower theme will be.
Make sure your work surface is CLEAN!
If you want to see the photos closer-please click to enlarge!
DIRECTIONS
Step one
Snap onesie bottom. Fold in either side.
Step two
From top end, roll neatly into a snug ball. Wrap mid-bottom oprtion tightly with floral tape. You do not want to use any other type of tape because should the mom-to-be decide to USE the onesie’s, it would get gooey and stick to the shirts-ick!
Step three
Now you want to fold back one of the edges, like a rose petal unfolding. It is also good to try to fold over the seam where the folded shirt ends to hide it.
Mini Dual Buds-Now if you look at my bouquet-I bought a 5 pk of onesie’s, but have 7 flowers. I did not do this with my last bouquet, but decided in order to fill this larger bucket I would make 2 of the onesies have double buds! So instead of 5-I have 7 buds!
Step one
Fold in sides like above. Then fold up bottom.
Step two
Step three
Now fold the “jelly roll” in half. So ends come together. Tape like in Step Two above. Unfold the edges a little as above in step three above.
Last but not least
Now it is time to arrange the onesie’s in your tin! make sure you put some sort of filler in the bottom. Try not to get a tin that is too deep. You may want to arrange the set up of your bouquet. Place larger/taller onesie flowers in center.
After they are all set, now for the fun! I like to choose a variety of flowers ot add in between, and on top of my “bouquet” I place them first-then, if I am happy I use glue dots to secure them all in place.
For this one (since I know the mom is NOT going to use the onesie’s) I sprinkled some red glitter to finish it off.
I will shrink wrap this, tie it all nice with ribbon, and send if off in the mail!
Now this beats the $60 bucks you’d spend on a bouquet of flower’s that will die in 5 days.
I really hope you enjoyed seeing HOW it comes together! Now for a perfect card to accompany a Onesie Bouquet , can be found ->HERE.
So that is it for today! Thanks for stopping by.

Wow, it’s gorgeous! If I received something like this, I wouldn’t use it either. I would put it up in the baby’s room for everybody to see. Thanks for sharing the tutorial.
Lauren, thank you so much for such a fun and cute idea. I just need to know someone who’s having a baby now! LOL!
FABULOUS! These are just the cutest!
I’d never use mine either – they would be ‘art’ for ever and out for everyone to see and admire!
Thank you so much for sharing the tutorial! You rock! ♥
Hugs to everyone!
Lauren, YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!! way to talented love to watch you use your MOJO AWESOME!!!!!!! Debbie
These are great. I am going to try one for my next baby shower. Before I saw yours though, I saw them at JCPenney. The tin says “A bunch of good wishes” and they have them in pink and blue. Thanks for showing everyone how to make them!
This is such a cute idea Lauren! Thanks for sharing it with everyone!! Can’t think of anyone expecting right now….of course not….isn’t that always how it goes! lol
Have a fab day!
TFS, Lauren! Adorable!
CUTE as ever!!! I would have to like the Mom A LOT to do this. Can you imagine using them after all that work….it’s a problem we have, I know.
Off to a whirlwind day! Have a GREAT one!
Lauren, your creativity and ideas are just amazing!! This bouquet is absolutely adorable!!
Very inspirational, I think I might make one for my cousins since they are both having one. Maybe using it for a centerpiece. I was wondering what kind of glue you used for the tin?
LOVE it! I am off to buy some onesies today to give it a try! LOL! TFS Lauren!
BEAUTIFUL!! What a great way to present something ordinary! I LOVE unique packaging… I’ve made diaper cakes, towel cakes but this something else to add to my arsenal! Love the girl version too!

I am so going to have to try this the next time I know of someone having a baby. Thanks so much for sharing, you are truly amazing in your ideas and techniques.
This is perfect, I wanted a cute way to display some onesies for my friends baby shower in two weeks, and this is perfect. She actually does not know what sex her baby is, (obviously not into immediate gratification)! I love your idea of using a yellow theme. This is marvelous, I also love the idea of doing the onesie card as well. I have always wanted to try one as they are the cutest!!!
Laren – this really is TOTALLY FABULOUS! Thanks SOOOO much for the tutorial, I’m going to make one of these for my SIL who is a florist, she’ll totally ge a kick out of it 🙂 I’d better invest in some bigger Primas though…hmmmm….SHOPPING 🙂 Yippee
Have a great day friend 🙂
Lauren,
It looks so great, I can’t wait to see it IRL! You are amazing! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this for me! I love the animal set you picked out! And I probably will use the onsies – you can always use white onsies. I stamped some for my SIL this weekend and they turned out so so cute!
Geny
Oh My Lauren ~ You have once again outdone yourself!!! I am gonna have to make this for my grandbaby due August 26th. We find out what it is next Monday the 14th. I am so excited! What a great centerpiece this would make for a smaller table at the shower. Thanks so much for this tutorial…I plan on using your “onsie card” for either invitations or announcements. See how much of an impact you have made in my life 🙂
sweet idea TFS
That is very cool. I love the look and I admire your creativity! Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE It! My bestfriend and my sister-in-law are both trying to get pregnant. I’m gonna have to try this!
Awesome tutorial Lauren! You totally rock! DH’s photography assistant is having a DD soon and I think I’ll make one of these for her. Can you use 3-6 mo onesies or are they too big?
Ya, I’ve seen these done before on TV. You did a really good job on yours. Nice color choice. Thanks for the tutorial on how to do these. The lady on TV showedhow she did them but she went too fast for me to write it down. Now I can use your step by step intsructions. THANKS!!
I love this idea. Its so original and unique, what new mom would expect it? I do have a ? regarding “personal use” If I were to make one for a friend, then posted it on my blog, of course giving you the credit for the idea, would that be acceptable? Thanks~Kris
Another beautiful onsie bouguet! Luv that bucket you picked up…how perfect is that for a boy!!!
This is the BEST idea ever! I think I will attempt one for my niece on the way! Thank you for sharing!
These are absolutely adorable! We have some friends that are adopting a little girl in the next month or so. I may have to give this a try – so cute!
lauren,
Perfect timing I have a shower this Saturday – Thank you Thank you! Now can you just repost the girl one that you did in the heart tin? Then I can start thinking which direction I’m heading. You’re awesome!
I love your onsie ideas! This is awesome!
Absolutely Adorable, you are so creative.
Thank you for showing how to make it.
Can’t wait for someone to have a baby so I can try one.
OMG!!! I love it. To cute. And I have a baby shower coming up. These would make great center pieces and the soon to be mother could take it home.
Keep the ideas coming!!
That does it. One of these days, I’m going to make it back East so you can sprinkle some of that pixie dust of creativity my way. These have been way too fabulous. Thanks for the tutorial. 🙂
FABULOUS! This is such a great idea! I have to give a baby shower in June and this will be perfect! You are amazing!
a visitor through another site – had to comment, cause these are just adorable! great idea 🙂
Such a cute idea, very creative!
Lauren,
You sure do a great job with these! I tried making one and though it’s not as cute as yours, I had fun making it! It’s on my blog http://shelliesstuff.blogspot.com/ if you care to take a look. :)Shellie
FANTASTIC, this is beautiful!! I am enamored with your creativity…the tutorial is wonderful and clear. TFS the instrucions and tips, “YOU ROCK”!!
The onsie bouquet in the bucket is SO CUTE!!! Love it! I’ve made a diaper cake before, and this will be fun to try something different! I love giving useful gifts for baby showers!
I absolutely LOVE this idea! Thanks so much for the tutorial. It just so happens that I am planning a baby shower, so I had to give this a try. Here’s a link to mine: http://stampinstop.blogspot.com/2008/04/potted-onesies.html
I have wanted to do this for a long time. Your instructions and photos were so helpful. I can’t wait to give this to my daughter tomorrow at her shower. I made a pretty big basket, 10 onesies, 2 bibs, 3 burb clothes and 3 pair of socks. I also used 2 Nuk pacifiers wiring them to a long floral pick, they look like hanging flowers! Thanks again!
Great tutorial!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Lauren, thank you for sharing this fantastic idea!!! I made a bouquet today and my SIL loved it. I used babysocks for it. It was just a little present. The real gift is yet to come.
I just love al of your wonderful ideas! Thank you again.
Sandra 🙂
Making any kind of arrangements or plans for after we have passed away or become incapacitated may seem uncomfortable or even morbid to many. Still I’m convinced that having a living will in place is the right thing to do, and it will make a horrible situation into a little less stressful and complicated one for you, your family, and the health care provider.
