Roll up each diaper and secure it with a small rubber band. Make sure the pattern on the diaper is hidden so only the white shows.

Cut a paper towel roll to the size of the diapers, then place 6 diapers around the paper towel roll and secure with a rubber band. Make sure the diapers are all facing the same direction.

Cut a piece of pink ribbon and a piece of blue ribbon to wrap around the diaper cakes. Also, cut a piece of the rolled jewels two rows wide to place on top of the ribbon. Using Glue Dots, affix a ribbon to each cake , then attach the rolled jewels to the top of the ribbon. I used three Glue Dots to secure the ribbons and four Glue Dots to affix the rolled jewels.
