Baby Boy Diaper Three Wheeler and Baby

 
This is a diaper three wheeler that I made for my girlfriends dump truck themed baby shower. I used two paper towel rolls and wrapped diapers around them. I secured them using ribbon. I then took a baby blanket and stuck it through the rolls and then secured all three rolls together. I then used another blanket and stuck it through the front roll and created handle bars. I also made a diaper baby to ride on top of the diaper three wheeler. I found a dump truck outfit and dump truck shoelaces. Then I used two little toy cars for spokes. I think it turned out cute!

Baby Boy Diaper Construction Cake

I made this diaper cake for my friend's baby shower. I used a small bucket and stuffed it full of baby essentials. Then I used double sided tape to attach the diapers to the bucket. I then wrapped a baby blanket around the bucket. I attached a bottle bucket on top of the bucket and wrapped that bucket with a blanket as well. I stuffed the bucket with shampoo, lotions, pacifiers ect. I used ribbon and pins to attach the pieces together. Then I embellished using rings and little toys that matched the theme of the shower. I think it turned out great. Hope you can get some ideas from this!

For the extra essentials I couldn't put in the cupcakes, I decorated a little basket with boy and girl handprint pins and ribbon. Then I hot glue gunned little baby clothes clips to the top of the basket. It turned out really cute!
For one of my friends who was having twins I made these adorable towel cupcakes.

5 Layered Diaper Cake


For my friend's baby shower who didn't know the sex of the baby, I made a gender neutral diaper cake. I started out with a bucket full of baby essentials and then wrapped diapers around the bucket and secured with double sided tape. Then I secured a blanket around the layer. The next layer is comprised of diapers and b blanket wrapped around those diapers. The third layer is also diapers and a blanket wrapped around those diapers. The fourth layer is made of little outfits and wash cloths. The final layer I rolled up another blanket and then stuffed little items around it like a duckie book and ducks. Then used another blanket to secure everything together. On the front is a onesie stuck on with double sided tape and I stuffed it full of scrapbooking stickers. The mom to be loved it and said she couldn't beleive all the stuff she kept finding in it as she took it apart.



Baby Girl Diaper Three Wheeler


  1.  
Diaper Three Wheeler:
Diapers
2 receiving blankets
Pack of baby links
Baby doll
2 cardboard tubes(paper towel)
Wipes case
Baby bottle
Ribbon
6 wash cloths
1 baby bib
1 pair of baby socks

To make the diaper 3 wheeler:

1.For the back wheels use a paper towel tube and wrap two baby wash cloths around the tube (attach with double sided tape).
2. Then roll diapers around the tube until your wheels are as big as you would like with the ends of the wash cloth covered tube sticking out a bit like spokes.
3. For the front wheel use the second paper towel roll and wrap that with two wash cloths as well and roll diapers around it, making this wheel a little bit smaller than the back wheels.
4. Now take a receiving blanket and put it first through the paper towel tube then pull it to the front roll and tuck it in the tube.
5. Then use a second receiving blanket and pull that through the front wheel. Tuck a diaper wipes case and a bottle in, and pull the blanket tight over them to create handle bars.
6. Then have fun decorating. I used cute butterfly links to coordinate the theme of the blankets and bib. One of the links was shaped as a butterfly so I used that for a seat. Inside the wipes case, I put various hair ties and headbands. Very cute!

Towel Cake




I made this for a friend having her first baby boy. I used a hooded baby towel, diaper pins, rubber duckys and shampoo and baby wash along with wash cloths. It turned out great.

For a friend who was having a little girl, I again referred to the internet for ideas. I found the idea to make an adorable baby three wheeler with a coordinating diaper cake. My diaper cakes are not made in the traditional sense with all diapers.

To Make The Diaper Cake:
20 diapers
3 receiving blankets
2 bibs
Plastic bucket
3 baby bottles
2 pacifiers
A bottle bucket
Ribbon
Various baby supplies (i.e. q-tips, lotion, wash ect...)
Pacifier holder

1. Roll diapers and secure them with rubber bands ( I use the tiny elastics).
2. Attach the diapers around the bucket that is filled with essential supplies and then wrap a receiving blanket around the bucket.
3. Stack the bottle bucket on top of first layer of diapers and place bottles and other supplies inside bottle bucket.
4. Wrap another receiving blanket around the bottle bucket.
5. Now, fold a receiving blanket and pull it across the top and use pin to secure it to either side of diaper cake.
6. For a cute touch, I made butterflies using beads and hung them from the pacifiers I tucked in the side of the cake.













Baby Boy Diaper Baby and Cake

This is my diaper baby and diaper cake in a basket that I used double sided tape to wrap ribbon around. I then used little letters to write out the babies name. It was a big hit at the shower.

I couldn't decide if I wanted to put the baby in the basket with the elephant or with the diaper cake. I ended up putting the baby in the basket with the cake and then putting the elephant in a laundry basket I decorated and put items in for the new baby.
I made these for a girlfriend who was having a little boy. I wanted to do something different so I saw the idea to make a diaper baby! I hope you like it!
