    Here's my first attempt. I'm not really that happy with it yet, need to practice some more and obviously wrap it properly.

    It's turned out more of a posy than a bouquet so far :o
    It's got a winding cloth, a bib, 2 washcloths & 2 pairs of socks in it.

    I know what you mean. I bought mine from ebay (the roses are single stemmed and I bought the leaves seperately). I haven't put many in mine as they cost quite a bit and I figured that the most important part of the bouquet should be the useful items rather than extra flowers that will just get put to one side once dismantled.

    I eventually remade my bouquet and also added more bibs to it. I showed it to a couple of friends and sold it instantly. :j
