Sock and Onesie Baby Bento Block
Baby wardrobe staples are always appreciated by expectant mothers, as well as being so fun to pick out and gift! This Sock and Onesie Baby Bento Block is the perfect petite gift for baby wardrobe staples, with cute little rolled up baby socks and homemade onesies!
This bento is made with a Baby Sock 12 Pack and paired them with my two favorite punny onesies, the Naptorious KID and Everyday I’m Cuddlin’ Onesies. While there are certainly many adorable onesies out there to buy, I love making them myself I would highly encourage you to make them too! You can see all our Baby Onesie Projects Here.
Whether you had fun buying lots of themed baby clothes yourself or have some beloved hand me downs to give to a new baby in the family, I love packing them in little cube boxes! These petite boxes can fit several small clothing items each and always remind me of baby blocks, so easy to pack with wardrobe staples and decorate for a baby shower gift!
First, we will create the layers of patterned socks in the bottom of the bento block. Start with a single pair of socks. Fold in the heel, and then fold the top of the sock over it as shown in the photos. Then, roll the pair of socks into a small cylinder.
2. Continue folding and rolling socks until you have a set of three. Gathering your sock cylinders in a line, with the pretty side of the rolls facing up, place them in the bottom of your box along the top edge. Repeat this process three more times, making two layers of 6 pairs of socks.
3. Now we can fold the onesies to go on top of the socks. Starting with your onesie face down, fold over the top such that the top of the design is just under the fold, then, fold in both sides of the onesie, overlapping the sleeves to create an almost rectangular packet that is the same width as the gift box.
4. Next, fold the bottom on the onesie up to meet the top, aligning the bottom edge of the onesie just under the top edge of the neckline, as shown in the photos. Fold the bottom of the onesie over to the top edge of the packet, forming a square that displays the front design of the onesie when turned over. Repeat this process with your second onesie to create two packets.
5. Finish the bento block by placing your onesie packets, face up, on top of the sock layer. Now you have a perfect petite gift box to shower your favorite mama with, all while proudly displaying some cute onesie designs for their new baby!
