What happened to following the basic rule of using rubber bands and rolling the diapers ?
Come on this looks like you had a wonderful idea in the making and there just didn’t seem to be any brain & eye coordination!
Sorry to sound harsh,but I have made one for my sisters baby shower and it was easy !
When talking about rolling the diapers you’re right, it is easier.
The problem is that I tried to do a more advanced diaper cake, one who doesn’t look like many different rounds, but the entire cake flows together.
When you do it right the result is way mare beautiful than the regular cake; the problem is, learning how to do it takes a lot of practice or a very good guide
I don’t know how it has gotten a bad name… There are all kinds of diaper cakes ranging from simple to elaborate. This is as simple as it gets, yet still a fun addition to a baby shower, and I’m sure very appreciated by the parents to be. In some ways this is a better idea because of simplicity to take apart and use when the shower is done. My vote is that this is a good diaper cake, a decoration on top… even a bow would give it a more finished look.
Why don’t you try doing the rounds and then wrapping the regular folded diapers around that, and try it with pampers swaddlers that are all white except for the tabs and band, and then it might look a little better, if all else fails, wrap it in blankets, burb rags, bibs, whatever and but some of that shredded confetti paper on top of the exposed diapers in between layers, it looks really nice that way.

I think it’s mighty cute. Who cares if it’s not traditional. the point is to give the mother a centerpiece that she can disassemble and use. i’m sure no mother is going to turn her nose up and say “i’m sorry. that diaper cake sucks. i’m just going to throw away all those diapers and not use them”
diapers are too expensive.
get over yourselves.
It’s beautiful
That is the worse thing I have ever seen, not even one proper bow. I just made my first 3 tier diaper cake and it’s beautiful. You need to take the time and effort to make it lovely. Although I am crafty LOL I have seen the cakes that are not rolled up and they seem very hard to make on your own, you need at least two people to do it.
It may not be the most elaborate diaper cake, but it is still cute. It was a very thoughtful idea to give to the Mom-To-Be. I’m sure she will love it, and love the fact that you put forth the time and effort just for her.
I have just started making one in that style, and it was surprisingly easy. I think they are much easier if you use the older style disposables with the plastic-y outer and more padding, whereas you have used the kinder more fabric-y disposables. I think (aside from the very top layer) you have done an awesome first job…now you just need to work a little more on the decorating - keep going and you’ll wow ‘em with top quality in no time
this is not that bad…i’ve seen worse, and these people are actually selling them on websites! so, this is a good try for ur first time. my first try was really good because i did alot of research, but someone who has no idea, this is a pretty good.
