AW: F/U to "Making a diaper cake" PIP

mrs_j_may_08 · August 2011

I posted a few weeks ago with questions about making a diaper cake. OP here:

https://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/56255306.aspx

And here is how it turned out! I really appreciate all the advice from the posters in the OP. I used a box of size 3 (104 total diapers). I wrapped receiving blankets around two of the tiers and used a 14" cake plate as the base. I ended up spending right at $100. It's for my best friend and future godson, so I don't mind. It took almost 3 hours to assemble. And as a fun touch I rolled up little notes in a few of the diapers like "Rolled with love" and "Can't wait to meet you Baby X." And I think we are planning on playing the memory game with all of the items on the cake.

It looks great! I love the notes rolled up into some of the diapers. Can't wait till my BFF has kids, I am totally going to steal your idea lol! What did you use to secure the diapers? I have heard of tape and rubber bands, but I was wondering how you did it.

Just jumping in really quick when I made one for my cousin, I used the plastic clear hair ties. You can get like 1,000 of them from the dollar store. I didn't want to use tape cause the diaper might pull apart.

I love love this diaper cake! Great job!!

Thanks ladies!

I also used the clear rubber bands to secure the diapers.

That is beautiful! I love it! I'm making one for a shower I'm holding, but I dont' think I can afford to put all those extra items on it. I'm already buying a lot of little baby items like that for a game at the shower.
