DIY Cloth Diaper Cake

Making a Cloth Diaper Cake

This past summer, one of my good friends had a baby.  So I decided to make a cloth diaper cake for her.  I ordered some prefold diapers off of Amazon.  In this cloth diaper cake I used 18 Size 1 Osocozy Prefolds and 12 Size 2 Osocozy Prefolds.  I also made some fleece diaper liners and flannel reusable baby wipes (useful and decorative).

Materials to Gather:

18 Small Prefold Diapers
12 Large Prefold Diapers
Ribbon
Floral Pins (optional)
Reusable Baby Wipes
Reusable Diaper Liners
Anything else you want to decorate the cake with

Building the Cake:

Begin by rolling the diapers.  Fold the diapers in half, and then roll them.

I used a floral pin to hold the diaper roll together.

After you have rolled up the diapers, gather all of the small diapers.  Arrange them in a circle.

 Keep adding rolls until you have included all of the diapers.

Then use a long piece of ribbon to tie the rolls together.  Wrap the ribbon around the outside of the bundle.  Wrap it around several times tightly, and then tie a bow. You want it to be easy to disassemble.

Then gather all of the large diapers.  Do the same steps with the large diapers and then tie them together with a ribbon.

After the diapers are tied together, remove the floral pins.

Since I had more small diapers than large, I used the small diaper bundle for the bottom layer of the cake, and the large bundle of diapers for the top layer of the cake.  Depending on the number of diapers you use, you can decide what will look better for your cake.

Decorating the Cake:

Now that the cake layers are built, you can focus on decorations.  For my decorations, I used reusable baby wipes and liners.  I folded and rolled the liners and wipes into flower-like shapes.

Fold one edge of the liner.

Then roll the liner diagonally.

Keep rolling.

Then twist the end and fold it down. Use a floral pin to keep the end in place. 

After rolling several of the liners, you can bunch them together and tie them with ribbon.  After tying them, remove the floral pins.

I also rolled and tied flannel baby wipes.

Decorate your cake with other accessories.  I added a pack of Snappies too.

Then the cake is finished. 

I had to play around with the cake before I was happy with the final result.  Good luck!
