How to Make a Diaper Cake in Less Than 30 Minutes

Thursday, September 1, 2011 by Lolli Leave a Comment

Recently, KitKat and I attended a baby shower for a friend of mine having twins. This is her first pregnancy – what a way to jump into parenthood!

Because the mother-to-be was my oldest daughter, KitKat’s, teacher at church, I thought it would be fun to come up with a baby shower gift that the two of us could work on together.

We took two packages of diapers, some streamers, baby spoons, hand sanitizer, rubber bands, and a little cup and turned it all into a very reasonably priced diaper cake.

In less than 30 minutes, the two of us (but mostly me) put the supplies together to make a diaper cake. It might not be the most beautiful diaper cake, but it was fun, cheap, and functional (and homemade gifts always get some extra attention!).

Easy diaper cake instructions:

Step 1:
Roll any size diaper (for this example, I used size 1), starting at the open end. Secure each rolled diaper with a rubber band. I used a little more than one jumbo package. The more diapers you use, the bigger your cake will be in the end.

Step 2:
Start with a round base. I tried an odd shaped bottle of lotion at first, but found that the round Ovaltine jar worked perfectly. Secure one layer of rolled diapers around your base with a rubber band.

Step 3:
Build your foundation base until it is your desired size by adding additional rows of diapers around the initial layer around your base.

Step 4:
Now work on your second tier by building another layer of diapers around your base above the first layer. Repeat with additional rows until it is your desired size.

Step 5:
Wrap a thick ribbon around the outside of both cake tiers to cover the rubber bands. I used tape to hold the ribbon in place (actually, I used baby shower streamers, but it’s the same idea).

Step 5:
Decorate your cake! Add fun things, like binkies, flowers, toys, etc to liven up the cake. Baby spoons work perfectly as “candles.”

And that’s it! In less than 30 minutes, you’ve got a fun baby shower gift.
