Diapers are perhaps one of the most necessary things for a newborn. It is not customary to donate ordinary packages of baby hygiene products. But making a cake from diapers with your own hands and presenting it to newly-made parents is possible and even necessary.
Instructions
Step 1
To make a DIY diaper cake, use a low-sided cake dish. Disposable bakeware can be used. Place a bottle of champagne in the center of the dish to make the tiered structure strong enough. Champagne can be replaced with a tall toddler bottle, a heavy cardboard tube, or any sturdy base.
Step 2
Roll the diapers into the tubes, starting with the drop-down section and secure with the money rubber bands. Place them standing around the frame in circles. The number of diapers will vary depending on the size of the cake you want. Tie the finished tier with a thin tape for strength.
Step 3
Also make the second and, if necessary, subsequent tiers of the diaper cake.
Step 4
To make the cake look more natural and neat, cut ribbons from a beautiful fabric with a childish pattern to the size of the tiers, wrap the edges. Decorate each tier with a satin ribbon with a nice bow. For these purposes, you can also use diapers and towels, which will be useful for mom and baby.
Step 5
Attach small items to the cake for your child. These can be small toys, rattles, teethers, pacifiers, care and hygiene products, bottles. If the budget allows, then you can put more expensive gifts on top of the diaper cake. For example, a baby monitor.
Step 6
The cake can also be decorated with all kinds of bows, ribbons, feathers, beads. It all depends only on your imagination and capabilities.
Step 7
So, you made a diaper cake with your own hands. Set it together with the dish on a square made of transparent packaging film, tie the package on top and tighten it with a nice ribbon.
