The Diaper Tricycle: So Long Diaper Cakes. How Cute is This?!

Yesterday's baby shower deserved a diaper upgrade and here it is. I actually found this craft to be much easier and less time to create than the traditional alternative.  I also loved that very few elastics were involved which keeps the whole project as newborn friendly as possible. 

There are many many places for you to get complete instructions as how to create this on the internet (search diaper tricycle) so I will not recreate the wheel but below are a few play by plays.

Used: 48 number 1 diapers, 3 bibs, 2 receiving blankets, 1 bottle, 1 pair socks, ribbon and elastics.
Note: in each "wheel" there is one centre rolled diaper and 15 diapers around it.

Absolutely adorable and very easy.

Go ahead...wow them!

The Diaper Cake: The Early Version

Don't you just love looking back at the crafting items you have done over the years?  I have a baby shower tomorrow and it made me think about the diaper cake my mother and I created for my sister all those years ago.  Sure its cute but my head is filling with ideas of what I would do if I had done it today.  Even your crafting improves with time....its like watching your wardrobe and hairstyles evolve over the years but seriously less painful!

Have a wonderful Sunday all.  No post for me tomorrow. 

See you Monday.
