a diaper cake! I didn’t read the instructions any more than to see that you roll up diapers and then layer them. Got it.
Went to Walmart for supplies. They actually managed to have the 3 DMC colors that I needed. AMAZING! Bought 3 sizes of diapers, diaper rash ointment, some pacifiers, bibs, a bottle brush and the bedtime collection from Johnson & Johnson (lotion, shampoo and body wash). Brought it home, ripped into the diapers, started rolling and this is where I came up with:
It’s not perfect, by any means and I had plenty of things leftover, only having incorporated the bottle brush and bibs into the array. The rest will get wrapped, along with the leftover diapers. My mom is sending an heirloom quality crocheted baby gown for the main gift. Hurray for keeping things inexpensive! 😀
Those diaper cakes can sell for big bucks! When I was pregnant with one of my girls, we got a bunch of flyers and stuff for local baby businesses…one business was for diaper cakes, and I couldn’t believe their prices. The “baker” must have been making a pretty hefty profit from them.
It looks perfect to me!!
That looks great! Where did you get the idea from?
Super sweet! I think these are adorable 🙂
Hm, are they disposable diapers? I’ve only ever seen the cakes done with cloths ones. I’ll bet the disposables are a little harder to roll, eh?
That is cute! 🙂
Very cute! I’m sure the new mom will appreciate it!
Great idea, Jenna! I’ve seen only cloth diaper “cakes” , but whatever you use, it sure makes a wonderful gift and shower centerpiece!! 😀
Very cute, Jenna. I’ve never heard of a diaper cake before. Towel cakes, yes. I’ll have to remember that if the need arises.
Yay diaper cake! Great job. I had so much fun when I made the one for my coworker earlier this year.
I love the diaper cake-looks great!
Great idea, it looks wonderful, the new Mum will love it.
