1. 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!

Burp Cloth Baby Bento Block

One of the most useful and needed baby feeding items are burp cloths, great for cleaning up during and after feedings along with coming in all sorts of adorable patterns and styles! So when I was designing my Feeding Bundle Bento, I wanted to experiment with way to give burp clothes on their own because, while doting on and feeding my friend’s baby, there was nothing I always appreciated and wanted like extra burp clothes! These petite block boxes were the perfect size for folding and displaying these Burp Cloth 4 Packs, and with that these little block bentos came to be!

With a four pack set fitting perfectly into one box, these blocks make an adorable and affordable baby gift! I had two different burp cloth sets, a Blue Whales Nautical set and a Gray Whales Nautical Set, but there are so many pattern and color options these bento blocks can beautifully display any set you choose for your mother to be! This is also a great option for cleverly folding and gifting gently used baby items to give them in a personal and special way, though you will need to make sure to find a piece of ribbon for your final bows in this bento, I used ones that came with the burp cloth sets I purchased.

PART 1: OUTER BURP CLOTH FOLDING

For this Bento Block, the burp cloths are folded in two different ways. All the burp cloths start with the basic set of folding instructions below  to make them long rectangular packets, but this first one will be reserved for wrapping the other three once they are fully folded.

1. Start with your burp cloth unfolded with the tag side facing up. Starting at the outer edges, fold the short edges towards the middle, basing the amount of fabric you fold over to the width of the box you want to use, in my case these were a little under 4 inches. Fold over the right side once more to form a gate fold style rectangular packet.

2.  Finally, fold the left side over the right to create a long rectangle that is the width of your gift box, as shown in the photos. Set this packet aside to wrap the other folded burp cloths in.

PART 2 - INNER BURP CLOTH FOLDING

Now, it’s time to fold the inner burp cloths so that their pretty patterns are easy to display in your gift box. Basically, it's the same folding above but with a couple more steps to make them denser, square packets to be housed in the longer, rectangular one.

1. Like you have done above, fold the burp cloth into a long rectangular packet, starting with the burp cloth unfolded tag side up, and folding over the edges based on the width of your gift box. They should look identical to the first burp cloth you folded.

2. Fold the packet into thirds width wise,as shown in the photos, creating a smaller rectangular packet.

3. Fold the packet width wise once more, to create a uniform almost square packet with the loose ends of the fabric toward the bottom and a pretty patterned folded edge on top. Repeat this for the remaining burp cloths.

PART 3 - BENTO BLOCK ASSEMBLY

Now it's time to put it all together in a cute little gift box!

1. Start by laying out the outer burp cloth on the table, with the ribbon you want to tie it with laying under the burp cloth. Stacking the folded packets together, place them in the center of the long rectangle, with the ends running parallel to the short side as shown in the photos.

2. Gather the outer burp cloth around the three inside packets. Using the ribbon to keep the whole fabric “cube” together, place it inside your gift box, with the loose ends of the outer burp cloth and the ribbons coming out of the sides. Tie the ribbon into a knot and bow, then peel back and tuck in the edges of the outer burp cloth fabric, displaying the patterned packets within. Now your gift block is ready to give to that special mama in your life!
