Red, White and Blue Diaper Cake

I used 30 size 2 diapers, one 8 oz bottle for the center, a 12 inch round card board, and a 12 inch doiley.

I also used 1-1/2 inch red ribbon with white stars, blue crinkle paper and blue carnations with white daises.

I used a red, white and blue beanie baby teddy bear with a small round glass bowl filled with jelly beans.

The cake was 2 tiers high and was used as a centerpiece along with 5 more cakes(all different) for a boy baby shower.

I made this "Our Baby" boy diaper cake for my soon to be born grandson's baby shower.

I rolled 80 newborn diapers to make it three tiers and tied each layer with blue gingham and baby footprint ribbon.

I added 6 baby boy washcloths, a Johnson's travel set, 2 pairs of booties, 4 pair of socks, 1 rattle, 1 teething ring, 1 teething key ring, two pacifiers (tied with baby blue ribbon), two baby spoons and a blue hairbrush and comb.

Embellished each tier with baby boy scrapbook stickers and topped it off with a baby blue "Angel Bear".

Ahoy Baby Diaper Cake

Ahoy Baby Diaper Cake

I used about 165 Newborn Diapers. Rolled each one and secured with rubber bands. I used a Bottle of champagne for the center base of my cake. Secured each rolled pamper around the bottle.

Found adorable "Pirate Themed" fabric and wrapped around each tier, added wooden Pirate accents found at Hobby Lobby along with cute colored ribbon to match my theme.

When all finished and set up, I displayed it on a large oval mirror and added baby products such as lotions, shampoo, powder and little outfits. For the topper I used a glass skull head with a little eye patch for some extra touch.

Last, I added at the top of each tier, plastic gold coins. Also, put the name of the "New addition". Along the base of the cake I added some blue confetti like paper (what you put in gift bags)for an ocean look.

Blue and Brown Polka Dot Diaper Cake

Blue and Brown Polka Dot Diaper Cake

Materials:

• approx 60 diapers (newborn size)


• gift wrap ribbon (blue)


• Brown and White Polka dot ribbon (Michaels Crafts)


• Blue ribbon (Michaels)


• Accessories ie: pacifiers, onesies, bibs, burp rag, socks, small stuffed animals, bath stuff

1) Roll each diaper with the print inside or out depending on your preference. Tie it closed with gift wrap ribbon. (A better idea is to use rubber bands but in this case I tied each one with blue ribbon.)

2) Tie each rolled diaper to another in a spiral/circle rotation. Start with one in the center and work around it. I made my topper first with 8 diapers. I suggest making the topper first so you can gauge the size of the next layer afterwards.

3) Follow step 2 for the middle and bottom layers. For the middle layer add one additional row around the original 8 diapers. For the bottom layer add two rows to the original 8 diapers.

4) Stack the layers on top of each other and wrap the ribbons around the bottom half to define the separation of layers.

5) I wrapped the middle layer with a matching blanket then wrapped the ribbon around that.

6) Add accessories. Put a stuffed animal on the topper to top it off.

7) I made origami onesies to look like small elephants. To do this I Googled towel origami and found a website that gave step by step instructions on how to make origami elephants out of towels. My onesies were not as great looking as the towels but hey they were cute and it got a lot of good reviews. I placed those around the cake not on it.

baby blue diaper cake

baby blue diaper cake

I took packages of size 1 huggies and roled them up and then placed them in a circle that wrapped around a container of powder and I just kept going with the circle till I ran out of the first package of diapers.

Then I started another layer on top of that wrapped around a baby bottle that sat on the powder and i made two circles around that .

Then I turned diapers the other direction and made a square on the top of the cake with the diapers.

I also used packets of formula,bibs,onsies,pacifiers,booties,little blue diaper pins,and a baby boy ribbon, and a few different colors of blue and sizes of ribbon to go around layers.Then I just started decorating the cake one side at a time. on the very bottom I took safari wrapping paper and wrapped a square cake holder to give it a present look. I also used scrapbooking baby stickers to stick all over cake for that extra touch.

Three-Tiered It's A Boy Diaper Cake

by S. R. R.
(SJ, PR.)

Three-tiered - It's a boy diaper cake:

Materials

1. 50-60 Size 2 Diapers
2. Thick Ribbons & Thin Ribbons
3. Tape/Rubber Bands
4. Clear Wrap (enough to cover the entire thing)
5. Circular cardboard cut-out for the base
6. Any other little gifts you might want to stick on it.
7. Teddy Bear, nice sized

I mostly worked on this by eye, and did not actually count how many of what I was using.. I just filled it up with whatever looked good. The very top part is three diapers formed into a pyramid. You can make that easily and set it aside. The second top layer is a rolled up diaper in the center and five around it, rolled up as well. Then you take about 4-5 diapers and wrap those around the layer and tie it off with a ribbon. These are not rolled up, just wrapped around.

With the same process, make a slightly larger layer for the third layer and so on.

Oh right.. I used tape, it can be a bit of a hassle if you're not patient :P some people use rubber bands, but I find they squish the diapers too much.
