DIY Diaper Cake

Have you seen these diaper cakes? I've seen them online upwards around $80! Yikes! Wanted to make one for a friend and boy am I happy with the way it turned out.

I found this great tutorial here from Susie Stamp a Lot. It leaves you with what you see below. She does go on in another tutorial how she decorated it but I wanted mine a bit different.

I wrapped receiving blankets around each layer. Use clothes pins to hold them in place just long enough to get a ribbon tied around them like below. First fold and iron blankets to the width of the diapers.

The bottom layer was too big around for just one blanket to cover it so I used two like so on the back side.

Next use some paper shred to cover the diapers. You could leave them exposed if you like but I wanted them covered.

I added a rubber duck to the top too! Sooooo cute!

Lastly I placed it in a large cello bag and tied a bow!

I'm kinda in love with it!
It was well received at the shower! One lady even asked if they could place orders for them! Fun! Can you believe there is even baby powder and a bottle on the inside?!!
Have you ever made a diaper cake?
