Make Roses Out of Baby Wash Cloths - Fold the wash cloth in half, lining up the edges evenly. Fold it in half a second time so you have a narrow strip of fabric.
Beginning at the short end, roll the wash cloth into a tight tube. Roll at a slight angle so the top of the wash cloth, which is the folded edge, resembles the angle of a rose bud.
Make Roses Out of Baby Wash Cloths
Pin the end of the wash cloth to the roll once you are done rolling so it does not come loose.
Fold the bottom edge of the wash cloth up on either side of the roll to form the outer petals of the roses. Fold the edge up at a slight angle on one side, then on the other side, to resemble a petal on either side of the rose bud. Remove the pin, as the folded bottom edge now secures the rose.
Wrap a wooden skewer with green floral tape, covering the wood completely. Attach silk flower leaves to the skewer with floral tape if desired.
Utilitarian gifts like wash cloths are often the most appreciated when someone is expecting a new baby. Even though the gifts are useful, it doesn't mean they have to be unattractive. Jazz up boring packaging by presenting the mom-to-be with a bouquet of baby wash cloth roses. Whether you present the roses on their own or as part of a gift basket of supplies the roses will be appreciated, especially after baby comes. - by eHow
