Ever since I saw this video from Oh Crafts! on how they made sock cupcakes, I have always loved this cool crafty gift idea. We recently had some friends who had babies, and I knew I had to try a twist on this homemade cupcake gift idea. And of course, I am going to share with all of you!

If you know me, I love to gift homemade gifts. I also wanted a unique way to compliment a gift card for the new parents so that they could pick out something personal or much needed for baby to be. I brought my homemade cupcake gift to the baby shower for mom-to-be, and after she realized what the cute cloth cupcakes were as she unwrapped one of them, it was the hit of the party!

Here is a visual of how I made the cupcakes:

1. Fold each onesies long ways twice in on itself, so it is a very thin long piece.
2. Then take one sock and let the top of the toe area of the sock pop above the onesie.
3. Roll the sock tightly in the middle of the onesie to create the cupcake shape. The sock becomes the cherry, and the onesie becomes a swirled cupcake shape.
4. While holding the rolled onesie cupcake, take a piece of clear scotch tape to secure.
5. Place in cupcake liner and cupcake wrap and place in cupcake gift box. Repeat for all 4 onesies.
6. Finish off by tying a cut ribbon around the box, attach the gift card, and voilá!

UPDATE: After making over a dozen of these cupcake onesies boxes, I realized if I let the end of the baby sock hang down, I could fold it up around the onesie roll to secure without the use of tape, just like this:

You can customize each cupcake gift box depending on the gender of the baby. Here is a cute example of a cupcake onesies gift box for twins—a boy and a girl.

So you need one spare egg box, the one made of hard paper not plastic, some acrylic paint of your choice (this tutorial use fuchsia pink and white), glue and paint brush.
Cut out the raised part of the egg box that will be our flower, then trim it like petal. This part is the base later we’ll add more petal inside.

Once you’re satisfied with the shape put them together. And they are ready to be colored.

You want your flower to look real so paint them in gradient color enhance the inner petal then lighter on the outside.

Once the paint is dry shape them together give some retouch of color if needed.

Add more petal to reach a fuller body.

Then you have your rose!
