I've got "babies" on my mind lately.
You see, I have 5 friends who are pregnant, actually one gave birth already. So I've been thinking of unique ways to give my gifts. There are tons of ideas out there, but one that I really wanted to make for all if I can, is a DIAPER CAKE!
This video tutorial has ben the most helpful to me...
So, I gathered my materials...
Then started 'baking' my cake!
I then added all my soft gifts in the middle since I was only planning a single layer diaper cake...
Rolled up the onesies in a roll to make it roll like roses and tied it up with rubber bands. The hat eventually ended up in the middle, mittens on the side. |
I then added the rubber band to hold everything in place |
Then the fun part, I added the ribbons tight, holding them in place by gluing both ends together. That way you can use ALL THE DIAPERS still once it's disassembled.
In the end, I only ended up using 1 rubber band in the middle to hold the diapers in place.
And here it is...
I added some chocolates for mom in between the diapers |
I also added extra ribbon scraps in between the onesies and mittens up top |
I finished off the gift by wrapping it up in cellophane from the Dollar store.
What better way to pin a card than to actually use a safety pin! I added the sandals outside since they didn't go well with the cake. |
I want to try 2 layers next time and I hope my friend and her new darling will love this as much as I enjoyed making it!
Have a Great Week!
