Diaper Cake

1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

I have a baby shower on Saturday, so I decided to try to make a “diaper cake”.  My daughter has been making these and selling them for some time, but I had never attempted one.  Doctor Mom is still on vacation and the construction office did not need me today, SOOOOOOOO, I had a free day to play.

You start by rolling each individual diaper and securing with a rubber band.  I then arranged them in a circle and secured with another rubber band (one large enough to expand).  Next I inserted another row of diapers around the ones I already had in a circle to make a large bottom “layer”.  I used the remaining diapers to make a second tier.  This cake took 40 newborn diapers.  To put the layers together I didn’t have the sucker sticks my daughter recommended, so I used straws.  They worked fine.  I covered the rubber bands with ribbon and then positioned the items on the “cake”.  I put the “cake” into a shrink wrap bag and used the hair dryer to shrink the wrap.  Top with a bow and that’s it.  I think it is pretty good for a first attempt.
