A few years ago when I was invited to Jay’s relative Nichole’s baby shower, I was so excited.  I had always wanted to do a diaper cake, and there was the perfect chance! I looked up a bunch of them on the internet to see what to do. A lot of them had similar instruction, just different decoration.  It looked easy enough, so I gave it a try.

And here it is…

While I am not going into a full tutorial yet ( I will be doing one in a future post) here is what I did in a nutshell.  I used rubber bands to hold the diapers in place.  I stuffed some small items like a rattle and pacifiers in with the diapers so there were more surprises when it was opened.  I covered the diapers with receiving blankets from her registry which came in a 3-pack.  It gave it a streamlined look with complimenting layers.  The only challenge with that the tiers were not connected, just sitting on top of one another.  I added the ribbons, the blanket topper, and a tray from the dollar store to complete the look.  Another gifting hit!
