I've always wanted to make a diaper cake and finally with Sandy's baby coming (any day now!), I had the perfect opportunity. This diaper cake contains 72 newborn diapers, the alphabet foam letters, a rubber duck that goes on the faucet and dispenses bubble bath, bubble bath to dispense, stacker caterpiller bath toy, and 5 squeezable animals (all from target).
My method: I used a clear tube from the squeeze toys for the center and put a few prizes insides. Then I took the first 8-12 diapers, rolled each from the top down, and put a rubber band around it. I put these "tubes" around the clear tube in the center to make the bottom layer bigger than the middle layer. I tied them to it with one ribbon (like a belt). Then I turned the next 30 diapers sideways and they overlap all the way around the bottom layer. I tied that off and added scrapbook paper and ribbon. Next layer I just used the 24 diapers sideways (no rolled up ones). The top layer is just 4 diapers rolled up, and stuffed them into the plastic tube. You can see those at the top...they stick out of the tube (but that's what holds them up). Then a pencil sticks out of those to hold up the rubber duck. Ribbon and scrapbook paper and toys to decorate and TADA!
