The Diaper Cake

So, I have always wanted to make a diaper cake. Today, after a little research and calls to my friend Heather, who is amazing at crafty things, Natalie and I made one.

Of course I took pictures and decided to share our beautiful creation with anyone interested. I was intending to add more stuff on it, such as a taggie blanket, a crinkler, baby lotion, onesies, socks, pacifier holder, tag block, tag ball, and burp cloths...but in the end I thought simple looked much nicer!

We will put the other things in a seperate gift and this can be the centerpiece at Jills Babyshower today!

I used a pack of size 1 diapers(44). Instead of rolling them I overlapped and wound them around a papertowel roll with string. In the middle I put desitin!

Once the cake was structured I wrapped it in tissue paper and decorated it with ribbon. I also made the round cardboard piece it was on prettier with pink paper.

Remembering stamps my mother gave me last christmas I pulled them out and stamped "princess" and "pretty in pink" around the bottom ribbon.

I added bows to cover the tap used and to add a little flare!

Natalie is my little helper! I pushed down the tissue into the roll with the desitin and now I am just waiting for when Heather comes to get me to put the Flower headband on the top! I will update tonight with a picture of the finished product!
