Socks are a practical and necessary subject that is present in the wardrobe of any person. Therefore, they are never unnecessary.
To create a bouquet of socks, it is worth pre-prepare everything that may be required.
- Socks. The number of pairs depends on how lush should turn out the final result. Usually use from 5 to 10 pairs, but it is optional. Used pairs of socks can be both more and less. When buying socks, preference should be given extremely high-quality products. Still, no need to forget that this is a gift.

How to collapse a flower of the sock?
Immediately before compiling the composition, you need to learn how to turn the flower of socks with your own hands. Because it is the weary flowers that are the basis of this composition. There are several different ways, but they are all pretty similar to each other. The basis of creating such a rose is the process of twisting.
The main master class on folding roses from the sock includes several simple stages.
- First of all, you need to remove the tag from the textile product, and split socks.
- Next, the sock must be decomposed on a flat surface.
- Rose must begin to turn off the top of the sock.
- It is required to bend free edge in parallel and start gently twist the sock.
- When twisting reaches the heel, the nasal part of the product is required to flip 180 degrees.
- Then you need to continue the process of twisting to the end of the sock.
- When the bud is ready, it must be fixed using a pin or gum for money so that it keeps his shape.
- After that, a wooden spanning is inserted inside the finished flower.
Another embodiment of the socks flower is covered by the product immediately directly on a skeleton or sushi wand. This requires the process of folding to start with gum. Thanks to this, the finished flower will look more neat. When the entire sock is screwed into a wooden skeleton, the product must be fixed using a pin or gum. For this purpose, the most ordinary threads can also be used.
Sometimes the process of making colors begins with the fact that on a flat surface of the sock, the diagonal is diagonally, so that a smooth straight line is formed opposite the heel. Next to the part with a rubber, the sink is inserted, and the product is neatly folded into the roll, which must be fixed.
Another way to create a weaver rose involves laying a wooden strip near the toes to the fingers. Next, it is necessary to wind the product on the skewer, while it is necessary to periodically turn the edge to a finger, forming petals.
Some people with bias belong to the fact that the bouquet will be located an even number of colors, despite the fact that this is not a real bouquet, but only his imitation. In this case, so that the number of roses is odd, one of the following methods can be used.
- Combine in a bouquet of a few varieties of this object of the wardrobe. For example, use thin and more dense socks for a gift. Flowers are created immediately from two products of different species. The middle can be formed from a more dense material, and the thin sock will perform the role of external petals. Or, on the contrary, a thin middle with dense petals.
- You can create one flower immediately from the pair of socks. Such a flower will be quite voluminous, and only one will be formed from two items. So you can give an odd number of pairs of socks, which will make a bouquet.
- Some people simply add the required amount of artificial colors from phoamyran or other artificial material into the bouquet. So that their total number in the composition was odd.

Despite the fact that the socks are taken to be one of the most banal gifts, even it can be given it to produce a very vivid impression. Because the original packaging will allow even this most common foundation of the wardrobe in the form of a unique composition.
Classic option
A classic bouquet for men is a combination that includes socks and a variety of decorative elements.
- The preparation of the gift begins with the manufacture of colors. For this purpose, products of one or more colors can be used. Most often, the male bouquet is made up of white, black or gray wardrobe items. And you can also use blue or blue shades.
- After twisting the required quantity of colors, it is necessary to step by step to collect the entire bouquet. To do this, all trained flowers are required to be copped together. It is convenient to do this with a tape. But you can also use elastic bands or a small twine.

If you want to make a gift more diverse, then you can form a bouquet not only from socks, but add another piece of wardrobe. This case is in this case about shorts. Just give your favorite panties seem too simple and banal. But if you arrange them in a beautiful composition, then the impression of a similar gift will be completely different - much more positive.

To do this, the male wardrobe object is required to be folded in half and twist it into a neat roll. The edges can be a little flexing in order to give greater similarity with rose petals.
Quantitative combination of socks and panties can be perfectly any. Their number may be equal, or panties can only act as a supplement to a bouquet of socks. More importantly, it is more important to choose all the elements in their color decision so that they are well combined with each other and complemented a friend. When creating a similar bouquet, you should not use only one color, because such a composition looks pretty boring. Therefore, preference is better to give two colors.

Around it are placed weaver roses on the skewers, stuck in the foam layer. Empty places need to fill with decorative elements: leaves, branches, artificial colors.
