Diaper Cakes

We are having a Baby Shower my sister in a few weeks.   I am trying to keep the decorations simple, elegant and not too baby-ish.

This project was so much fun.  I constructed these Diaper Cakes in the color scheme of her nursery to use as the centerpiece...

I made my Cakes out of a 50 pack of Generic Diapers 

(the expensive kind have colors and patterns on them, the cheap ones are solid white),

 a pack of rubber bands,

satin ribbon,

and tissue paper.  

Here is a really good tutorial on the Diaper Cake and here is one for the Tissue Flowers for anyone that's interested.  Super simple, a little time consuming but worth it.

My 7 year son had this to say: 

"Mom,  I really like your project but, I wish we were having real cake".
