Lately I have been really into using my resources and my creativity to make gifts and home decor that may not always turn out Pinterest perfect but I am proud no less.
For my sister's baby shower, I wanted to attempt a diaper cake! I had seen so many cute variations of diaper cakes on Pinterest so I simply looked for the one that looked the easiest to assemble. This is how it turned out.
Diaper Cakes
In November I became an aunt for the first time! And let me tell you that little boy has me wrapped around his little chubby fingers!
For my sister's baby shower, I wanted to attempt a diaper cake! I had seen so many cute variations of diaper cakes on Pinterest so I simply looked for the one that looked the easiest to assemble. This is how it turned out.
I think it turned out pretty well! And it was SO easy! And it only took me about 40 minutes
What you will need:
about 70 diapers
about 75 rubber bands
a flat pan or cake holder
ribbon
hot glue gun
any other decorations you wish to add to your cake
wooden dole or paper towel roll (Some even use a wooden spoon)
Assembly:
1. roll every diaper like a burrito and fasten it with a rubber band
2. Begin in the middle, stand about 3 rolled diapers up around the wooden dole and rubber band them together.
3. Repeat step 2 going out until you have your first layer assembled
4. Repeat steps 2-3 for a second, third, or fourth layer placing them around the wooden dole
5. Glue ribbon around each layer for added support
6. Finish off by decorating your cake with whatever decorations you like!
If you would like pictures to follow the instructions, I used domesticadventures directions on how to make a diaper cake.
A few months later, I made another one. This one was for a fellow teacher.
