I am so into making diaper cakes these days! A close friend is expecting and I thought it would be nice to try the kind of diaper cake with the blanket in the middle with a teddy bear holding it at the top. I found the diapers, blanket and the bear at Target. The bear's tail can be pulled and it plays a lullaby. The diaper cake kit including the items for the baby - a headband (which is on the bear), skirt (tucked into the top layer of the cake) and flower clips at the bottom and top of the cake. I had the ribbon in my stash from Micheal's crafts. I love love LOVE how it came out and the mom and dad to be did too!
For the video I used to create the diaper cake in such a professional even looking way (without rubber bands or tape or glue) so that it can easily be taken apart and used check out my recent post detailing the last diaper cake I made.
I like to package the diaper cakes in 30x30 shrink wrap bags on a cake board both from hobby lobby.
Stay tuned in November for pictures of the layouts I made in class at CKC Lancaster and how I personalized them to create a baby's first year instant scrapbook for this family! It was a big, big hit! A treasured keepsake for years to come!
