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".

    Just perfect and I like the simplicity. Boy if pampers only knew they get no free advertising for patterned diapers.
