How To Make a Diaper Cake

Hello Friends!

My best friend is having twins! I just attended her baby shower and decided to make her a diaper cake. She is going to need all the diapers she can get. So I decided to write a post about how I put it together. You can make a diaper cake with any size diapers you want. I used newborn diapers for this cake.

Supplies:

67 Newborn Diapers

Rubber Bands

Glue Dots

Ribbon (2" and 1/2")

Hot glue and glue gun

Cricut and Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge

Cardstock

Pearl Sewing Pins

 

How To Steps:

 

1. Start by rolling up the diapers and rubber band them together. The top tier has 7, middle has 20, and the bottom has 40 diapers.

 

 

2. Cut your ribbon to fit the circumference of the tier plus 2". Place two glue dots on the backside of  ribbon and fold it over to create a simple hem.

 





 

3. Once you have created your hem add two more glue dots and wrap your ribbon around the middle of the tier. Repeat this step for all three (or more) tiers and if you add additional ribbons.

 

 

4. Cut 3D paper flowers with the Cricut and the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. I cut 3 flower styles in multiple sizes (2 1/2", 3", 4", and 5"). I also cut them in two colors of lavender cardstock.

 

5. Ink the edges of the lighter lavender cardstock to give it more definition. Then curl them using a quilling tool and hot glue for a stronger hold.   

 

6. Attach them to the diaper cake using pearl sewing pins. This adds a beautiful touch to the flowers and makes them easy to remove from the cake.
