Have you ever been to a baby shower and seen those adorable diaper cakes on display and wondered how to make one? Well, wonder no more. I’m about to share how to make a diaper cake on a budget. As mentioned I had the opportunity to co-throw a baby shower for a good friend and wanted to make something special to be the center piece for the food table. But as The Husband and I are expecting our own little bundle of joy to arrive in early May I knew this masterful center piece I had in mind need to be created on a small budget. So here is how I did it!
...
Supplies to make a small 3 Tiered Diaper Cake:
40 Diapers size 1 or 2 … I used size 1 Pampers Swaddler’s Diapers
(keeping the diaper number down is one of the key secrets to creating a diaper cake on a budget)
Curling Ribbon
(you will use this to tie the rolled diapers individually and together around your base)
22 oz. Baby Powder bottle
(this will act as the base for you cake)
1 ½ inch ribbon
(to be used as decoration around your cake)
Scissors
Embellishments to match the Baby Shower’s theme
Hot glue gun or glue dots
(used to secure the decorative 1 ½ inch ribbon)
Small trash bag to store finished cake in until the it’s time to display on the day of the shower
(remember diapers are very absorbent)
...
Putting it all together:
Bottom Tier
Second Tier
Top/ Third Tier
Finishing Touches
Now it’s time to sit back and admire your creation! The lovely lady you are throwing a diaper shower for will be so impressed.
Remember if you are making your diaper cake ahead of time to put it in a small trash bag to shield it from absorbing odors … after all diapers were made to be absorbent.
