    Baby Sock Flowers

    • Create a bouquet of roses out of baby socks for your centerpiece. Lie a sock out flat and roll it up, starting at the toe end and finishing at the open end. Pinch the ends of the sock together and insert a bamboo skewer into the hole of the sock, the open end. Tighten the bottom by wrapping it with a green pipe cleaner. Then wrap a green ribbon, to emulate a stem, around it and down the skewer. Fluff out the top of the "rose bud" and place it into a vase. Group several pairs of socks together to create a bouquet or place a single bud in a series of individual bud vases.

    Diaper Cake

    • Design a cake centerpiece entirely from disposable diapers. Flatten a baby blanket into the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan and drape it over the sides. Group three plastic baby bottles together and secure them with an elastic band. Place them in the center of the pan. Roll the diapers around the bottles and keep rolling them outward until you reach the edge of the pan. Wrap a ribbon around the top and bottom third of the outer diapers to secure them in place. Dangle baby pins, rattles, an ear thermometer and other small baby care items from the ribbons. Open the tops of the bottles and insert baby sock flowers into them.

    Baby Cups

    • Use memorable baby cups as a centerpiece. Gather different-sized sterling silver baby cups and group them in the center of a decorative birdcage. Elevate the cups inside by stacking them on a tiered spice rack. Add gifts inside each cup, such as baby rattles, several homemade baby sock flowers or pacifiers. Attach baby pins, thermometers, spoons and other small baby items to ribbons and wrap them through the rungs of the cage or dangle the ribbons from the cup handles.

    Baby Carriage

    • Make a baby carriage from fruit by slicing a watermelon and a cantaloupe in half and scooping out the inside of each. Place the cantaloupe in the top half of the scooped-out watermelon--this is the "baby." Stick green grapes onto toothpicks and into the cantaloupe to create eyes. Rub red food coloring on the sides to give it rosy cheeks, cut a hole for a mouth, and place a pacifier in it. Fill the bottom of the carriage with more assorted fruit and then apply whipped creme over the fruit to create a baby blanket. Add whipped creme around the baby's head to mimic a bonnet. Stick round orange slices onto the side of the watermelon as wheels.
