Diaper Cake Tutorial

I will be attending a baby shower later today.
Not for me...but for a friend from church.
I wasn't sure what to make for her...or the little one.
And then it hit me... a diaper cake!
You see Robyn (the one who the shower is for) is a cake lady.
So it just made sense.

So, now I'm gonna show you
how easy it is to make a diaper cake!

What you need:
1 package of diapers 40 ct
(I used size 1 swaddlers)
Rubber Bands
Ribbon
Round dowels
A decoration for the top
Fake flowers
Hot glue gun and glue

I like to use the "swaddlers" because they're soft
and they don't have writing or pictures
on the bottom half of the diaper!
Just roll the diaper and secure with a rubber band!One you have them all rolled and secured start assembling the cake.
Start with three together and put a rubber band around those.
Then add more to the outside and put a rubber band around those.
I used 13 for the top and 27 for the bottom layer.Then measure your ribbon and secure around the outside of the rubber bands.
Hot glue the ribbon to itself.I used some round dowels to put between the layers to help them stay together.
I just pushed them all the way through both layers
(in between the diapers of course)You can cut the dowels to size if you use a stuffed animal
or something similar as your cake topper.
I used the first letter of the babies name,
so the dowels were perfect for helping me stand it up.Now you are basically done.I did add some fake flowers just to make it even more pretty!What do you think?
Pretty cute huh?!Come back next week when I'll show you how to make
a baby sock corsage!
