Step One: Before you first make your diaper cake, you have to make sure that you have everything you need to make it. You need to have diapers, ribbons, baby items, double sided tape and a plush toy. Instead of using a generic brand of diapers, you should use a premium brand like pampers or huggies. We are going to be making diapers by using the rolled method. You have to get a diaper and then wrap it with a rubber band. Make sure that you do this for every diaper.

Step Two: After you have rolled all the diapers, then its step 2 in the diaper making process. Make sure the grab 7 diapers and wrap it with a large rubber band. You can use more diapers when you want to make a larger tier.

(Alternate) Step Two: To make a diaper cake to be more fun, you can put different baby items in your cake. You can put a baby bottle in the center or you can use a toy rattle or even a sippy cup.

Step Three: After you have made two tiers on the cake, its time to put the ribbon on. But before you place the ribbon, you need to make sure that you know how you are going to decorate the diaper cake. That is because you want everything to match and look nice. You can add the ribbon to the cake with a double sided ribbon.

You can further decorate the cake by adding different products on the cake. You can also put different bibs, onsies, baby socks and even more items.
