My niece just had a baby girl and I made her these roses out of baby socks and also made her this diaper wreath. I had it hanging on the door when she came home from the hospital. I got the idea for the wreath from Jeni on Prim Mart. I did a google search for the diaper wreaths, and OMGosh there's tons of them to get ideas from.

| I'd like more info on the diaper wreath too--my niece is always looking for new ideas for showers and such at church and this would be perfect. Love those cute little roses too. Great way to give items the baby can actually use. TFS. Luvs |

| Here's a link for the diaper wreath. There is lot's of different sites that have posted ways to make them. This is pretty much the standard way of doing it. Very easy to do. I did mine on one of thos twig like wreaths. It wasn't grapevine. It had a smooth surface. I got it at the $$$ store. I was gonna just use one of those styrofoam wreaths but couldn't find one in our area. The fun part is decorating it. Here is aslo a link to just look at different decorated diaper wreaths. http://images.google.com/images?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=SUNA,S UNA:2006-14,SUNA:en&q=diaper wreath&um=1&sa=N&tab=wi Don't forget to show us pics of yours!!! |

| You are such a wonderful Aunt. Beautiful ideas. |

| Here are the direction for the roses. They have been such a great hit at baby showers or I've given them to them after the baby is born. I use the straight craft wire that you can get at Walmart. I used the 18 gauge wire, that way the stems aren't wobbly. It comes in a green or silver. At Walmart all they had was the silver, which is OK, Because you will cover it up with florist tape. |

| Toooooo Cute!!!!!!!! |
