Fun and Unique Diaper
Cakes
Written by Angela
The coming of Spring means the arrival of new life! Now that
I have kids, I understand the overwhelming feeling of joy that comes with the
final few weeks of a pregnancy. I think it is so important to celebrate not
only the pregnancy, but the fact that you are bringing new life into this
world. Sometimes I look at my kids and am just in awe that I (with the help of my
husband) created two human beings. It is amazing!
Below are some fun and different diaper cakes that I’ve made
for family and friends who are expecting!
Stork Bundle
This stork diaper cake is one of my favorites! The stork is
just so symbolic of new life and I thought this was a beautiful gift to a new
mom!
The striped fabric wrapping up the rolled up diapers is
actually a receiving blanket I made. I simply took a receiving blanket I
already had from my boys and measured out the same size onto this fun fabric. I
added some padding in the middle before I sewed it up into a blanket. I folded
both long sides inward in order to wrap around the diapers and tied it with a
rubber band before decoratively tying on some ribbon.
The stork is also handmade and is meant to be a rattle toy
for the new baby. I drew out the shape of a stork, traced the shape onto fabric
and stuffed it with fluff. Before sewing it completely up, I put some jingle
bells I had left over from Christmas into the middle of the stork. The hat,
eyes, beak, and legs are all cut out from felt.
The diapers are just rolled up tightly and wrapped with a
rubber band. Depending on how big you want your diaper bundle will depend on
how many diapers you need.
Butterfly Cake
I made this butterfly diaper cake for my sister’s first
born. This cake is perfect for baby girls!
The body of the butterfly is a growth chart I found at Hobby
Lobby, but you can make one as well.
I bunched up 4 to 5 diapers on each side to make up the
wings. I threaded the pink ribbon through an open diaper in the middle of the
bunch on each side to secure them to the body of the butterfly (growth chart).
I glued girly googly eyes and pink fuzzy pipe to make the antennas.
Happy Spring!
