How to Make Baby Shower Gifts Out of Diapers

1. Gather Supplies: Diapers (size 1 or 2), ribbon, decorations (such as baby socks, toys, or flowers), rubber bands, and a cake board or plate.

2. Roll Diapers: Roll each diaper tightly from one end to the other, securing them with rubber bands to create diaper rolls.

3. Build Base Layer: Place a rolled-up diaper in the center of the cake board. Arrange 12 rolled diapers around the base, securing them with rubber bands to form a tire.

4. Create Tiers: Continue adding layers of rolled diapers, reducing the number of diapers in each tier as you go up. Use decorations between tiers to add charm.

5. Decorate: Wrap ribbon around each diaper layer and tie a bow. Add decorative elements like baby toys, socks, or flowers.

6. Top Decor: Place a special decoration, such as a stuffed animal or a baby bodysuit, on top to finish the diaper cake.

Diaper Wreath:

1. Gather Supplies: Diapers (size 1 or 2), ribbon, floral wire, decorations (such as baby socks, toys, or flowers), and a wire hanger or wreath form.

2. Secure Hanger: Shape your hanger or wreath form into a circular frame.

3. Form Wire Circles: Cut floral wire into 10-inch pieces and create a series of circles by twisting the ends together.

4. Attach Diapers: Slide a rolled-up diaper onto a wire circle, tucking in the edges. Repeat this process to cover the wire circle completely with diapers.

5. Attach to Frame: Secure each wire circle to the hanger or wreath form using more floral wire.

6. Add Decorations: Insert baby socks, toys, or flowers between diaper rolls for decoration.

7. Add Ribbon: Wrap ribbon around the wreath and tie it in a bow at the top.

Diaper Bouquet:

1. Gather Supplies: Diapers (size 1 or 2), ribbon, floral wire, decorations (such as baby socks, toys, or flowers), and a wooden skewer or thin dowel rod.

2. Roll Diapers: Tightly roll up diapers, securing them with rubber bands.

3. Form Roses: Create "petals" by carefully unrolling one end of each diaper roll. Use thin wire to secure these petals in a flower shape.

4. Attach to Skewer: Insert a skewer or dowel into the center of each rolled diaper.

5. Add Decorations: Add baby socks, toys, or flowers to the skewers between the diaper rolls.

6. Wrap Bouquet: Wrap ribbon around the bouquet, securing it near the base. Add any final touches as desired.

These DIY diaper gifts are fun, practical, and sure to be appreciated by new parents. They also make for charming centerpieces at baby showers.
