3rd Trimester

Ladies that have had thier showers....

Did you have a diaper cake?  If so do you have a picture you would want to share???  I am going to start "attempting" a diaper cake for a friend (not creative at all) and would love to see what other ladies diaper cakes had on them and how they turned out at thier showers.

 TIA

Re: Ladies that have had thier showers....

  • My shower was two days ago - I did not have a diaper cake but I think they are so cute.

  • I didn't have one but you could google them and you'll get a ton of pictures.  You might be able to do a "How too" and luck out with the steps.  GL

  • This was mine.  I really liked that it was in a basket that I could reuse after.  They had rubberbands securing the diapers and had them hoisted up on two round plastic tupperware things underneath.  They tied 2 pacifiers to some ribbon on it and also had little bows attached to it as well that my little girl could wear in her hair. They worked my burp cloths and wash clothes that I was registered for into it.  I really liked it!

  • My MIL made it. She rolled each diaper and put a rubber band around each one. The ribbons around each layer hid the rubber bands.

    I loved it!  They said it was much easier too-you didn't have to worry about it falling apart as much.  I use the basket now for all her towels and washcloths.  Have them rolled up in it and it sits on the bathroom counter!

  • Just realized it doesn't show the whole thing.  It was three tiers of diapers with stuff on every level.  Pacifies, shoes, toes, ducks...very very cute.  My friend makes them for as side work and does a great job!

  • OMG! I love all of these!! I hope I get one at mine!! Stick out tongue

    My family is doing a very small celebration for my nephew and his wife this Sunday b/c they are expecting twins 2 weeks ahead of my due date. They already have a son so there is no formal shower but I'm thinking I might attempt to make one of these on Saturday for them! What a fun idea!

  • I just made one for a coworker for our work shower, and one for my own shower coming up. I do not like the rolled diaper cakes personally. I found directions by looking up videos on youtube, How to make a professional diaper cake.

     *sorry if the pictures don't work, I've never posted pictures on here!

     

  • No diaper cake for me but I'm sure if you google "how to diaper cake" they will have a lot of instructions/examples.
  • Just to throw a little snark in here, I wish I could send you the diaper cake that will most likely be at mine. We are cloth diapering and I really have no desire to get any sposies. But my friend that is helping throw it is adamant that there be a diaper cake, even though I said I really didnt want sposies at all. I love her to death, but its such a waste of money since I will probably just donate the diapers. And so much work for her to do.

    You won't even have disposables while you're traveling or for long road trips/excursions?

  • My SIL made mini diaper cakes, using 6 or 7 diapers for each one, she rubber-banded each one, then tied ribbon around the middle and used rattles or teethers etc in the middle,  She curled some ribbon on them to look festive and they were really cute!

    You should be able to find a couple of websites with directions.
