Diaper Butterflies

by Wendy Hatfield

Diaper Butterflies

Diaper Butterflies

To make my diaper butterflies, I first take one diaper (I usually use size one but have had requests for larger ones and did those as well), a baby washcloth, some tulle, and a chenille stem.
I roll the baby washcloth up with the stem folded in half sticking out the top of the washcloth, and then I take four small pieces of ribbon and tie them around the washcloth to keep it secure, and take a long piece of ribbon to tie around the diaper to keep the washcloth (the butterfly's 'body') in place.
The tulle is simply tucked underneath the washcloth 'body', and no glue or tape is used, this way the new Mom can use both the diaper and the washcloth! When done attaching everything, I just bend the chenille stem to look like antenna and it's all done. The creator of these cute baby shower favors is me, Wendy, owner of Diaper Cakes By Wendy. :)

So perfect!
by: Anonymous

My oldest daughter has made it to 12 weeks after losing a baby this past summer. (She and her sister were due one week apart.) We really wanted something special for her shower and this is so absolutely perfect! She is such a butterfly lover that she has several different tattoos of them. I can't wait to make these for her. Thank you so much!!

Thank you all for the great ratings! The cardstock idea sounds cute!! You could probably find some really cute scrapbook paper too that would work good! Thanks again! :-)

I modified a little
by: Laura

I didn't really like the tulle so I used card stock paper and replaced it with butter fly wings. I slid it under just the same and then added detail on the wings with market very cute! My sis in law will love it!

Thank you for sharing your nice idea. It is so nice to have people share their free talent. Too often these sites are come-ons.
