I became interested in diaper cakes when I started looking for a cute baby shower gift for a friend. I loved the idea of the diaper cake but hated the price! So I decided I could probably make my own diaper cake for less, come on how hard can it really be…and that how I got started making diaper cakes!
Below is a picture of one of the first diaper cakes I made. This
diaper cake is actually a rolled diaper cake meaning all the diapers are
individual rolled and secured with a rubber band.
Materials:
- 90-100 disposable diapers
- Rubber bands
- 3 different styles, size, and colored ribbon
- Wooden characters
- Cardstock
- Circut
- Cake tray
- Tissue paper or cut up paper strips
- Hot Glue and Hot Glue Gun
Below is another diaper cake I made using the rolled diapers.
For this diaper cake, I decided to cover all the diapers/tiers using cardstock,
pink zebra and lime green ribbon. Instead of covering the second tier with card
stock, I decided to use a skirt that I purchased for the baby. To add a finally
detail, I cricut out the letter J for Justine!
Materials:
- 90-100 disposable diapers
- Rubber bands
- 2 different styles, size, and colored ribbon
- Cardstock
- Circut
- Baby clothes
- Cake tray
- Tissue paper or cut up paper strips
- Hot Glue and Hot Glue Gun
What you can make a diaper cake without rolling up 90 to 100 diapers?
Yes, that’s right folks there an easier way to make a diaper cake! It’s called
a spiral diaper cake and to be honest this is my favorite way to make a diaper
cake, it looks clean and classy! Oh, and did I tell you that you actually use
LESS diapers!
Materials:
- 60-100 diapers (depends on the amount of tiers your making) I was able to make one 3-tier diaper cake and one 2-tier diaper cake using 96 diapers!
- Cake pans of various sizes (12, 10, and 8 inches)
- Large rubber bands
- 3 or less different, style, sizes, and colored ribbon
