So give me the low down on these Diaper Cakes! My SIL wants one at her shower.
Are they hard to make? and also...I have seen some on etsy that seem pretty reasonably priced, so is better to just spend the money to have one made?

Re: Diaper Cakes
I don't know if you have found a site to help you, but I found this one, as I was curious to see how to make them as well. This looks extremely simple.

QFT.
NB diapers are short lived, if used at all. Better to have diapers sitting in the closet for later than to have a bunch of diapers that never did fit.

My sister made one for my shower. She's not super crafty but it turned out great. She stuffed it with all sorts of toys and extra goodies for the baby. I really appreciated the time, thought and effort she put into it.
(I'm a little irritated that your SIL is essentially demanding that you make one for her... but you don't seem annoyed, so maybe I'm just missing something or being extra cranky today).
I would definitely make one yourself. When you buy them they are never as they seem in the pictures and I personally would love a diaper cake made by my sister in law then if she just went and bought one. They are pretty easy to make and my coworker makes them for all of our baby shower and she spends about $40-$70.

I already linked the wikihow tutorial. I find it annoying that you couldn't read what? 5? Other posts?
I think the OP's sister is being a little strange in asking for one.
Usually it's just a gift idea. They are made with actual diapers that are usable, so I think it's kind of like giving a package of diapers (for a shower gift) but it a creative way. A lot of times though, women will make them for centerpieces and then give the centerpieces to the MTB after the shower. I think it's an adorable idea.
Just a more creative way to give diapers as a gift. My sister made one and stuffed the core with baby bottles and used baby spoons as the "candles." She also put toys, bibs and washcloths around the outside as additional decoration. It's the same as giving those items as gifts but it looks cute.
Haha, I like you!
First question, do you want to give her a diaper cake as a gift? It is a gift, not a part of the shower, unless you are choosing to do them as decor or something.
Personally, I would buy one, but I'm lazy like that.
True that! DD was born at 39 weeks and in NB diapers and clothes for almost 2 months.
