How to Make a Diaper Cake

*make sure you have enough diapers to get the kid through college*


*roll them and tie them individually*


*then tie the tied ones together into a cake layer*


*decorate!*

I bought a pack of 258 diapers at Costco...as you can probably see, I didn't come close to using all of them. I really wanted to make a huge cake, but then I realized there was no way I would have enough ribbon to wrap it with and that I was going to have to road trip this thing up to Dallas, so I scaled it back and just gave them the 180 leftover diapers.

I went with the size two diapers (12-18 lbs) which is definitely bigger than newborn size, but everyone is predicting that the baby will be pretty big to begin with. I'm so excited to be an aunt again and can't wait until he's born!

It only took an afternoon to make and I think it came out really cute.
