Instructions

This DIY Cloth Diaper Cake uses reusable cloth nappies to create a tiered cake design that looks impressive and thoughtful. Decorated with ribbons, bows, and flowers, it’s an eco-friendly alternative to disposable diaper cakes. Perfect for eco-conscious families, this baby shower craft project can be personalized to match any theme and provides the parents-to-be with practical items they’ll use every day.

Fold all the diapers into 3rds lengthwise. Roll up the receiving blanket – this will become the center of the cake. Measure to make sure it’s tall enough (3 diapers/ 3 Tiers high).

Roll the diapers around the receiving blanket to make the cake, pinning to secure the diapers in place as needed. Use 7 diapers for the base, 4 diapers for the middle layer, and 1 diaper for the top.

Use the ribbon to decorate the cake.

Add embellishments such as silk flowers or small baby items like rattles, dummies, baby socks and more.

Perfect gift for a baby shower or a new mum.
