Diaper Cake Tutorial

Made By Me Monday!

I was recently featured over at the Baby Daze party at Lil' Luna! I wanted to share my post with you here at Sassy Sites too, just in case you missed it over at the party! :) Thank you Kristyn for inviting me to be a part of this fun BABY DAZE Party! I decided to share a tutorial with you that has been around forever, but it's coming back! Diaper cakes are BIG now and I love 'em!

_____________

Supplies Needed:

diapers (size 3, at least 40)

rubber bands (all sizes)

wide ribbon

stick pins

cake stand

flowers and pacifiers for decoration

________________________

step one:

wrap all diapers into a rolls and secure with rubber bands, making sure all rubber bands are located at about the same place on each diaper. this will make covering them with the ribbon more successful. ;)

______________________

step two:

take four diapers and make a bundle for top tier. wrap with rubber band.

_______________________________

step three:

repeat for remaining tiers.

stack four for top tier; fourteen for middle tier; remainder for bottom tier. top tier is optional.

_____________________________

step four:

measure ribbon to wrap around rubber bands. it must be wide enough to cover all rubber bands.

____________________________

step five:

use stick pins to secure ribbon into diaper.  pull tight and secure with decorative stick pins (regular pins are fine. you can cover them with the bow later.)

_____________________________
step six:

make a bow

_______________________________

step seven:

choose placement of bow on cake. use a stick pin to put the bow on the cake.  tuck the pin inside the bow/adjust the bow to make sure it looks the way you want it to.

step eight:

trim ribbon ends.

step nine:

stack tiers and decorate with flowers, pacifiers, etc.
