Last weekend, I decided to make a diaper cake for a baby shower. I wanted to make something different than the regular ol’ diaper cakes that I’ve made in the past. So I settled on a sweet Birds’ Nest diaper cake.
I’m not going to post a full diaper cake tutorial- there’s hundreds of them on the internet, and most people already have one that they know how to do. But here’s a few tips on how I made mine.
I used my Cricut to cut out the bird shapes. But bird shapes are pretty basic, and I think it would be easy to free hand. The Cricut cartridge I used it “Everyday Pop-Up Cards”.
I also used my Cricut to cut out the letters. I hot glued them to twine and then glued the twine to the birds’ beaks.
The “nest” is simply brown paper scraps.
I dove into my fabric stash for the green material to cover the diapers.
I added a few cutesy toys that went along with the birds’ nest theme.
If nothing else, I had fun making the diaper cake. Do you have any diaper cake tips to share?
I have never made a diaper cake or seen one at a shower. Weird, right?? This is really cute, though, I espcially love the “nest” part – what a cute touch! I will have to dig up all those tips next time I have an expectant friend. 😉
Such a cute idea!
Such a beautiful idea, Melanie. 🙂
so cute, pinned it
I’ve never made a diaper cake, but my sister in law has. She’s made some themed cakes upon request, and I think she’d appreciate this cute spring style! Great job, looks so pretty!
This is so cute. Thank you for sharing.
Super cute idea! Thanks for linking up to Do Something Crafty Friday!
OMG this is totally the cutest diaper cake i have seen. i love that you can’t even see the diapers!
This is adorable. I am always a bit jealous of you “crafty” people. I will pin this for others to see.
What a cute idea! Do you roll your diapers or fan them out?
This is so cute and creative! Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday 🙂
