Diaper cake tut

I decided to make a tutorial for a diaper cake. Last night I made one for a friend and her daughter (due in March).

Her theme is safari girly so I kind of went with that.. 

  

 These are some of the supplies you will need:

1. Cake sheet [I used a 12 in round]

2. Throw away ribbon [to wrap diapers or swirlies]

3. Decorative ribbon [2 or more]

4. Diapers 

5. Decorations

[I used shoes, 3 onsies, 2 pants, a letter "R", toy, spoons and socks. the wash cloths ended up not on the cake but in a seperate bag with the extra spoons and diapers]

First thing you want to do is roll your diapers!

1. face the diaper open side towards you, I like the size to show on the outside when rolled so I have that face down before rolling.

2.  then start rolling

3. tie tightly with throw away ribbon

Next, you want to assemble the diapers and cake!

1. I stand all the diapers up and take a piece of throw away ribbon and tie them all together tightly. I usually end up making the string too loose so I shove in extra rolled diapers to make it tighter.

2. Add decorative ribbon covering the strings. I pin the ends but you can tape them, too. 

3. Continue to rest of layers and stack!

Now you can add all of your decorations. I like to add Sock Roses, Toys, clothes..whatever I find. 

There you go!
