To see me make this Diaper Cake, step by step, click here:
The Finished Diaper Cake/Nappy Cake. |
All of the ingredients for the Diaper Cake. |
Roll each diaper securely and bind with rubber bands. |
Fit the diapers snugly together to form a base, then repeat the process for the next two tiers. |
Bind each tier with string, then fold receiving blankets and wrap them around the diapers. |
Secure the blankets with diaper pins. |
Use a dowel to stabilize the tiers, and tie colorful ribbon around each blanket. |
By now the diaper cake should be quite sturdy. |
Decorate with colorful and useful baby items and toys. |
Tuck and hang objects around the cake. |
Different color ribbons make the cake look more interesting. |
Color co-ordinate the baby shower. These are inexpensive items I bought at the dollar store (with the exception of the big bows, which were a gift.) |
Cute details make all the difference and make the shower seem more personal. |
Add food, and enjoy! |
An animal theme diaper cake (nappy cake) is perfect for both boys and girls!
