I've had a few people ask me how I made my diapers cakes.
Here are some photos to show you how easy it is.
STEP 1 - wrap individual diapers
Roll an individual diaper up and secure with an elastic band, repeat until all diapers are secured individually. I used size 2 diapers since these roll up big and fat compared to a new born size and you only need to use 1 or 2 jumbo packs depending on how big you want your diaper cake. For my cake below I used 2 jumbo packs.
STEP 2 - make the base and backbone
I used a bottle of baby shampoo/wash for my middle to make a good solid backbone. I then placed my individually wrapped diapers around the bottle encircling it and used an elastic band to hold them all in place. Here I went round three times and then covered the elastic band with ribbon.
STEP 3 - Make the middle
I wrapped the top part of the bottle with 2 layers of wrapped diapers and again secured them all with an elastic band and then ribbon.
STEP 4 - make the top
I made a topper using 2 layers of diapers and placing it on top of the middle and base. Again I placed ribbon around the elastic bands and then decorated the top.
For my cousins gift I wrapped the cake in clear cellophane and tied it off with ribbon.
Super easy and beautiful.
