Diaper Cake!

Okay, it isn't really 'cake' per se, but isn't it adorable??


This 'cake' was clearly a baby shower gift... :)

To make it, I rolled and rubber banded a whole lot of diapers, then tied them together using ribbon to create the tiers.  The bottom tier is resting on a cardboard cake round.


After putting together the tiers, I swapped out some of the diapers with onesies and other little bibs and things that I found.

On the top tier, I put a blanket in the middle and positioned a stuffed monkey to be holding the blanket.


You can see I also dressed our monkey friend in a bib, hat, and mittens...

On the back of the 'cake', I tied in some pacifiers and baby socks. 


Cute 'cake', right?  And no calories either! :)

  5. Such a great idea to have a little different option from the contemporarily styled gifts. It is cute and funny, appropriate to be given by a best friend or aunt.
