Create an adorable DIY Diaper Cake using this easy step-by-step tutorial. You can create a diaper cake as decoration when hosting a shower, or take as a gift when attending a baby shower. I created this one as a decoration at the You Are My Sunshine Baby Shower I styled. You can make a two or three tier diaper cake. I was planning on using these large photo props so I went with two tiers.
Roll up one diaper and place a rubber band around it.
Continue rolling diapers and placing inside that same rubber band. Make sure it is a large stretchy one so it won’t pop.
Finish all tiers you plan to make. Stack and add diapers as wanted for size.
Wrap your ribbon around the diaper cake. Use glue dots to attach one end to the diapers, then pull tight and use glue dots to attach the other end on top of the first end. You can use two layers of 2.5inch ribbon as I did here. Or you could use one layer and let some of the diaper show. You can get creative with how you want to do your ribbon!
Add your You Are My Sunshine Photo Prop Sticks as cake toppers. If you are doing a different theme you can add any kind of toppers you want or go without a topper.
Add your shredded paper. Push it down into the diapers as you go. Some people use hot glue here. I do not recommend that, because then the diapers are not reusable.
Your DIY Diaper Cake is now complete! Easy right? Be sure to head over and check out the other posts for this party like the entire You Are My Sunshine Baby Shower, my DIY Raindrop and Cloud Backdrop, and a delicious Lemon Mousse Recipe.
