Diaper Cake

I am hosting a baby shower next week and have seen this idea at a couple of showers here in California. My family had never seen it, so I am posting the process so they know what in the world I am talking about!

Start with a paper towel roll taped to cardboard (you can buy a 10" cake cardboard thing at Michaels, I go for free though ;)

I bought a 50 pack of size 1 pampers for $8.99. Roll them and secure them with an elastic. Then circle them around the paper towel roll with a bigger elastic holding them into place.

Second layer...

Third layer...

Then tie a cute ribbon around each layer to hide the elastics.

Then decorate! I went off the girl's registry and coming out of the top are tights and a bottle brush. Hanging off it are binkies and the binkie attachments and some bibs.

The entire thing cost $23.90 and took about 20 minutes to put together.

My sister-in-law made me one of these for my shower a few years ago. It is a very cute idea and useful too. I love the pink and red ladybug fabric you used.
