DIY Diaper Cakes

Diaper Cakes... 
One of the easiest DIY baby gifts and really WOWs a crowd!!
I have made several Diaper Cakes over the past few years and each time I do I get so many compliments. Everyone enjoys looking at the diaper creation!
What You Will Need:
60-70 newborn diapers
60-70 rubber bands
3 large rubber bands
1 cardboard cake platter
one small bottle
one regular size bottle
double stick or regular scotch tape
ribbon
items to add to your cake
Directions:
Roll each diaper starting with the end that opens. Wrap a rubber band around each diaper. Once all diapers have been rolled place your regular size bottle in the center of the cake platter. Place diapers around bottle making the bottom layer of your cake. Once they are in place wrap one big rubber band around the layer to secure all diapers together. Continue the same step with your second layer. After the second layer is completed add your little bottle and then finish with your third layer of diapers.
 When all layers are finished. I first add ribbon around the cake to cover all rubber bands. Second I start adding items you want on your cake. You can have the cake as simple or as full as you would like it. You can attach some items using tape others you can use little ribbon and tie them on.
Here are a few samples of the cakes I have made:
