Does anyone know How To Make A Diaper cake?
We just found out today that my best friend is having a little girl!!! I am sooooo excited and i want to try and make her a Diaper Cake for the shower in a few months. Does anyone know how to Make A Diaper Cake?
You will need about 65 disposable Diapers to make a 3-Tier Diaper Cake. Pampers Swaddlers are the best, but any kind will work. Use size 1. Open a diaper longways. Starting with the end that has the picture on it, roll the diaper up like a jelly roll, and secure with a piece of string or a rubber band. Roll all 65 diapers.
To make the bottom layer of the diaper cake, stand one diaper up, then stand 6 more diapers around it in a circle. Tie tightly with a piece of ribbon or string. Stand another 12 diapers up around that, and secure with string. Finally, stand a final ring of 18 more diapers around the circle, and tie tightly. This is your completed bottom layer.
Make your middle layer by repeating the step above. Leave off the final 18 diapers, so that the middle layer has a total of 19 diapers. Then, make the top layer by repeating only the first step (for a total of 7 diapers in the top layer.)
Now you are ready to assemble the diaper cake. Start with the bottom layer. Take 1 to 3 diapers out of the middle of your tightly tied bottom layer, and replace with a tall bottle of baby powder or shampoo. You can also use a baby blanket rolled into a cylinder. This will be your ‘center support.’ Make it about as tall as 2 and a half layers of the cake. Now take out the same number of diapers from the middle layer of the cake, and slide it into position over your support item and onto the bottom layer of the cake. Do the same thing with the top layer. As you go, you can remove another diaper here and there, and add onesies, burp cloths, or other baby care items if you want to. If you don’t want the cake to have anything in it but diapers, then I recommend you use a 1/4″ wood dowel through the center of the cake to stabilize it.
Once your base is assembled, then just wrap the ribbon you chose around the cake, and tie it in a big bow. Do this for each layer of the diaper cake. You can tuck baby care items inside this ribbon, or stick them to the outside of the ribbon with double sided tape. Just make sure you don’t get any tape or glue on anything but the ribbon.
