Diaper Wreath

Yes, you read that correctly, a diaper wreath.  I have seen several tutorials on the famous diaper cake but not on a diaper wreath so I thought that I would share. 

First you will need to purchase a Styrofoam wreath form, diapers (I used size 2) and some clear elastic hair bands(small).
You simply open up the diaper, place it around the form and using your elastic band secure it in place.


Repeat all the way around
Once you go all the way around you can start to unfold the top layer slightly to fill in the gaps

Once you have it spread out you can add your curling ribbon.  I chose yellow and black for the upcoming Baby-Bee shower.  Simply tie them around each diaper covering the elastic band.


Go all the way around, curl your ribbon and add toys, rattles, clothes, etc..
This small one only needed 9 diapers, yes, 9 diapers.  That is way fewer then a diaper cake.  I pinned a cute bee onesie in the center.

Here is another one that I made using a large form

This one needed 15 diapers.  I wrapped a pair of "Cute as can Bee" pants around the top and pinned the matching shirt on the bottom hoping that it looked like a ribbon.


This was a very easy and inexpensive project.  Please share pictures if you create one.
