For
bottom layer of
“cake”, roll
diapers lengthwise around
baby bottle, continuing to roll
actual diapers around themselves until 20 of
diapers have been used. Then, with
rubber bands or tape, secure them so they remain firmly in place.
For
second layer, you would use 10 or 15 of
diapers depending on how thick you want it and do
same for
top layer using
remaining diapers (usually around five). Next, fold one of
receiving blankets so it is
same width as
bottom layer and then wrap it around
diapers, covering them. Do
same thing for
middle layer with
other blanket and then for
top layer, use
burp cloth. After each has been wrapped around, secure them with a couple of safety pins.
You will then take
curling ribbon, choosing colors to match
sex of
baby or theme of
party, wrapping it around each of
three layers. Be sure to leave about four inches on each to curl. To finish
cake, use your cake topper on
top and then place smaller baby items around for decoration.
Keep in mind that you can make a couple smaller diaper cakes using 20 diapers for
entire cake or one really, large one with 65 diapers. If you prefer to buy
diaper cake,
price will range on average between $30 and $60.
