Diaper Cake

This was my first Diaper Cake I have made. I have been given them for my babies...but never got to make one! This technique I used is easy for the person making it and the person receiving it. The diapers are wrinkled from rubber bands, and you can use more diapers for the cake itself! I wanted to keep it simple...less is more approach. And...I was on a budget!

Material:

I purchased Size 1 Pampers. I prefer Pampers for newborns and Size 1 is very very needed in the beginning!!!

ribbon and what you want to decorate with.

I ended up not using rubber bands or wipes (I just handed her the wipes with the rest of the diapers I didn't use)

 

I used a big serving platter to help keep the diapers UP and just kept forming them as they made a circle. It did take a little patience!!!! Once they are in place, it's pretty simple to tie the ribbon around it. My rubber bands weren't big enough for the diameter of the cake!

My second layer, I  used a cake pan because it was smaller than my serving platter.

 

 

 

 

I rolled the receiving blankets into flowers and placed them in the center...they fit PERFECT. I hot glued on those awesome HUGE flowers where the ribbon did meet and placed the hair clips throughout the cake on the ribbon.

 

 

 

All together, it took me about 25 minutes. I was impressed, considering it was my first diaper cake!!! Can't wait to make more!
