Baby Diaper Cake

Here is the full picture of the diaper cake that I made this week.

I love the color combos...

All of the products that I used on the cake I bought at Hobby Lobby,

except for the diapers of course.  I used a lot of hot glue!!

The middle section is a box with a present inside.

I used a little over 50 rolled up diapers in the base.

{I put 2 rolled up diapers together in one rubberband and a few individual ones}

I used rub-on letters to spell out "Sweet Emmaline". {American Crafts}

I took off the flower from its stem to use on the chipboard and put a large rhinestone in the middle.

The flowers are made out of felt that I shaped into petals.  I curled the edges using tiny dots of hot glue to keep the shape.  Then I had to add the bling with glue glitter around the edges and a rhinestone in the middle.

If I had more time, I would've put in one more layer to the flowers...

Have a delightful weekend!

Diaper Cake Topper & Bow making Tutorial

This is a little teaser picture of the diaper cake that I made for my sweet friend's baby shower last night.

I will be Guest Blogging over at LarsenLoves tomorrow where I will show you a picture of the whole cake! 

You will have to go over there and check it out!!!

JenGlamGirl from LarsenLoves will be Guest Blogging here tomorrow!!  She is amazing!

I love the name Emmaline...{baby K's middle name, a family name}

I am in love with this color of turquoise!!

I used about 3 or so yards to make the bow.  I chose a wired ribbon, so much easier to get it to form the way you want.

You can make it whatever size you want! 

The bottom piece is flat and then you go back and forth making the loops like this:

I used a little piece of twine to tie it together in the middle to hold it in place.

Then with a separate piece of ribbon, make a square knot {or whatever kind of knot that you want}. Make sure that you leave enough on each side of the side to be able to tie it around the bow.

Then you place the knot in the middle and tie it in the back.  With this bow I didn't cut the excess length of the knot and used it as a part of the bow.

This is the fun part, start "poofing" it up, play with it for a while to get the look that you are after. 

I wanted it to be extra "poofy"!!

Enjoy your day!!
