My 1st Diaper Cake! 7/11

So Happy that we have a new baby coming into the family and I got my first shot at making a diaper cake. My mother in law went in halves and we spend around $60 total. For one I got Pampers Limited Edition with the polka dots and flowers on them in green/pink designs soooo cute! I started out with a 14" cake round from Walmart, cheap! Then I got like 72ish diapers. Rolled them and used small rubber bands around them all! I used a larger rubberband to hold them together and just kept tucking them in the make the "right" size tiers I wanted. I stacked them up, nothing is holding them next time I will use those small woooden dowls a few stuck down in the center of the entire thing so it's easier to transport! We then found super cute ribbon at Walmart again all I did was pinned them together to cover the rubberbands. We then bought whatever we wanted to add to it, cute rings, rattles/teethers, small bath stuff, toys, spoons. We actually bought too much that I couldn't fit on to it....doesn't take much for it to fill up! I stuck it in my front seat and drove 30 minutes away and nothing moved so it was awesome! I love how it turned out! I can see now why people charge so much for them. Baby stuff is sooo expensive. Unless you bought cheaper diapers which I would never do! Maybe finding stuff on clearance to fill them and ribbon will last several cakes! Anyways overall I do love it and I can't wait to make another! :) Good luck on yours!
