Ever wondered how to make your own diaper cake? Well, you're in luck! I'm gonna walk you through it today! :) This is the diaper cake I made for my Sister In Law's baby shower. The cool thing about diaper cakes when you're a mom is that you can re-gift items that you didn't use with your baby. (Diapers that your baby has grown out of before you used them, & little accessories or toiletries that you didn't get around to using or just got too many of).
How-To
How-To1. Roll a ton of diapers and tie them closed with ribbon (or yarn or elastic bands... get creative ;)
(can you find the diaper that Talia rolled?)
2. Get a bunch of bowls to use for drawing circles on cardboard3. Cut out the cardboard circles
4. Position diapers on the base & wrap some tissue paper or fat ribbon around the outside of the layer (to keep everything together & make it look pretty)
5. Add the next size up of the cardboard bases & repeat until you have the height you want.
6. Put something cute on top & a bunch of little things around on each layer
7. Wrap with cellophane wrap & tie with ribbons & a little tag & you're done!
Soo funny... I have 4 diaper cakes in my sewing room ... I just need to add some goodies to them.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Heather!
Obviously I just crawled out from under a rock. Where were diaper cakes when I was having babies back in the dinosaur, eighties?? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my place, by the way!
You make it look so easy! Even for someone who's all thumbs like me. Maybe that's why I couldn't spot the Talia diaper.

ReplyDeletevery very cute. there are so many different ways to do this I am sure but you made it look easy. Never made one but will remember yours when i need it.
ReplyDeleteYou know before I had a kid, I never understood the excitement over getting a diaper cake. Now that I have, I totally get it☺ Diapers are expensive and they are run through fast. This is such a fun way to present what could be an uninspired gift. Thanks for the how-to!
