If you want to make this cute baby shower stork decoration - I made a FREE stork template for you to print and cut out click here to download the stork template. Once you print the stork out, roll 10-15 diapers into bundles using rubber bands. Then place them into a piece of cute and decorative fabric (which matches the baby shower theme.) - or, even better, a cute baby blanket! Secure the top with a rubber band and ribbon - add the stork cut out to the top (either with glue or double-sided tape) - I have also seen these with a box of baby wipes included too (they were used as the base and the diapers were layed on top.)

Fun Food

• Serve up a Stork Cake! You can either make one or purchase one at your local bakery. We found the cute cake above at wilton.com.

  A Reader submitted this cake:

  
• For a cute snack idea, place some bowls of chex mix or nuts around the room, along with cute labels saying "Stork Food" or "Please Don't Feed The Storks"
• Put some round white mints in a bowl and label them "stork eggs"
• Using a stork-shaped cookie cutter, cut cookies into storks and serve at the shower or bundle them up and give away as cute favors.
• You can also use the cookie cutters to cut out sandwiches and finger jello

Stork Themed Gifts

• If you're looking for a cute gift idea, why not put together a stork baby shower-themed gift basket!

  Simply fill a basket with a stuffed stork and loads of baby gear such as lotions, powder, socks, bibs, bottles...you get the idea! It will be a hit!

• A reader submitted this clever stork baby shower favor idea: Votive Candle Favors with Prayer for Baby

  * Buy inexpensive pink or blue (or yellow, green or white - if gender is unknown) votive candles. You can find these in bulk at a store like Garden Ridge.

  * You can also buy inexpensive clear glass votive candle holders (again, you can find these in bulk at a store like Garden Ridge) to put the candles in, but this is not necessary - candle only is fine.

  * Wrap the candles (with or without holders) in cellophane with a ribbon to tie, or place in organza bags with ribbon pulls.

  * Attach this prayer by punching a hole in paper & threading the ribbon through the paper: "Here's a candle for you to light,
  Once the stork has made its flight.
  With the flicker of the flame,
  Please say a prayer in (insert baby's name)'s name."

  *Last line example: "Please say a prayer in Grace's/Michael's name." .... or if name unknown: "Please say a prayer in this sweet baby's name."
