Master class on how to make a diaper cake with your own hands
First question - How many diapers do you need for a cake?
A minimum of 30 pieces will be required. But usually I have one large pack of 78 diapers for a two-tiered cake. The exact amount is not important, in the cake you can completely hide extra diapers inside. Just fold them more tightly or, on the contrary, twist them not much, so that there is enough for all tiers.
It is better to buy diapers in a larger size. Many mothers do not want to destroy the presented beauty and do not take apart the cake for a long time. In addition, the baby is still quite small and may need special super small diapers. If you make a cake from diapers of the smallest size, then in a month they will already be too small. The baby is growing very fast. The issue of hygiene often comes up. In the first months, they try to surround the child with sterile conditions, so especially restless mothers play it safe and are afraid to use diapers right away, but wait until the child grows up a little.
How much will a diaper cake cost if you make it yourself.
A pack of diapers is about 700 rubles + decorations. That is, the average cost of a thousand rubles. But you can keep within 300-400 if you make a small cake with a minimum of decor.
How to make a diaper cake step by step 
First of all, you need diapers. It is better to use high-quality diapers, Japanese, for example. I have not heard negative reviews on them, all mothers only praise. You can buy any others.
The base of the cake is easy to make from thick cardboard. Cut out a circle from cardboard and cover it with wrapping paper.
The cake must have a core. You can use wooden skewers, a roll of paper towel, a tall bottle of baby shampoo, or any long object as an inner rod to keep the layers of the cake from spreading. You can even use a bottle of champagne. And if you didn’t find anything suitable, just roll the paper into a tight roll and use it as a fastener.
I used a tall bottle of baby bubble bath. Just do not forget to wash all items, but it is better to pour boiling water over them. After all, this is a gift for a very young child and hygiene is very important.
The rod must be glued to the base, in the middle. For this, glue from a hot gun, a transparent moment or double-sided tape is useful. I tied a satin ribbon around the book and already glued bubble bath to it - the base of the cake.
Now open the package with diapers and turn each diaper into a roll. To prevent diaper tubes from unrolling, use rubber bands for money. You can also use clothespins. If there are no suitable elastic bands, cut a balloon or a nylon stocking on them. All the same, gum is needed only as an auxiliary material, then you will need to get rid of them. There won't be any in the cake itself.
Lay the diaper rolls tightly around the core of the cake. Secure them with a wide elastic band, thread, or satin flying, so that you get one of the round levels of the cake.
Now let's start decorating. We decorate the gift with nipples, feeding spoons. baby thermometers, bottles, bibs and toys. The top of the cake can be decorated with a small soft toy or slippers, or a small handmade postcard. 
And now you need to pack the cake in a transparent film so that it does not get dirty during the transportation process. Tie a bow at the top.
Useful tips on how to give a beautiful gift diapers in the form of a cake .
- Cake - a gift can be wrapped so that the illusion of a real cake covered with mastic is created. It will take as many diapers as the cake has layers. Fold the diaper in length so that the width is the width of the tier. We wrap diapers with a diaper.
- In addition to the technology of twisting diapers into rolls, there is another technology - diapers are taken out of the package and placed in a circle next to each other. More details of how it looks can be seen in the photo.
Can cake diapers be used?
Many young mothers doubt whether it is possible to use diapers from a donated cake. But the diapers do not unfold, they remain stuck together from the factory press and the intimate inner part does not unfold. In addition, in pharmacies, diapers are sold by the piece, just in a plastic bag. Even when you open the package, the sterility of diapers is lost in any case. The most sterile first diaper. But you must make such a gift with clean hands and wash all items bought in stores (jars, bottles, toys). Craft on a perfectly clean table or lay a sheet. Be sure to wrap the gift in transparent cellophane. It is sold both in rolls and by the meter in flower shops, for example. The gift will only benefit from this, and you and the mother of the child will be calm that no one will sneeze on diapers and they will not get dirty during transportation home to the baby.
Diaper cakes can be different. In the form of not only a classic two or three tiered cake, but also in the form of a bicycle, a stroller, a magic castle, a steam locomotive, and in general, everything is limited only by imagination. Here are examples in the photo.

look ready-made cakes from diapers from our masters
Every newborn baby needs a gift. You can present it simply in a bag, or you can present it in such a beautiful and very original way.
To make a cake, in addition to the gifts themselves, we need very little. We will assemble it carefully, without unnecessary clips, ropes and fasteners, which can be very embarrassing for a young mother. After all, hygiene in our business will be in the first place. So, we go to the store and choose as a gift for the baby everything that he likes, but with taste. Still, our composition should be in harmony with colors.
And I got this cute set :
1.2 cups for pencils as a base.
2.1 cut towel roll.
3. Linen elastic 1.5 m.
4. Medical gloves.
5.Pack of diapers for newborns 72pcs.
6.Baby shampoo Bubchen, 200 ml
7.Bubchen bathing medium, 200 ml
8. Wet wipes Pampers 64 pcs.
9.2 flannel diapers 0.75x1.20cm
11.1 pillow 20x32cm. in tone plaid
12. A pair of socks
13.Cooling teether
15. Dummy
17. A set of children's pins (3 pcs.)
In order to make it easier for you to understand the whole process of work. Let's conditionally divide it into 4 stages:
1. We make the base.
Here you need to strictly follow the recommendations so as not to “injure” our delicate material for the base once again. Diapers lose their marketable appearance very easily, and it is not recommended to twist, unfold and fold them several times. Of course, if the purpose of our surprise is the maximum use for its intended purpose, absolutely all the details. Let's clarify right away. This twisting technique takes a lot of diapers. But we save on the services of a master, so we can afford a little more cost and less visibility of a gift? After all, it is given for sure for the most respected and dear to us people. So, it's not worth saving here))
2. Filling.
If you are still a little tight on funds, then you can fill the cake with nothing. To fix it, it will be enough to insert inside, through all three cakes, a tube - the base that remains from a roll of ordinary kitchen disposable towels. Or there is the same one in rolls of foil, thin packaging film, etc. But my personal opinion is this - if you still decide to give a gift, then why spoil it with such content? It is much more interesting and useful to hide a useful surprise inside. And here's how to do it, I'll show you below.
3. Registration.
It won't take long. You just need to properly fold the diapers and keep fasteners at hand.
4. Decoration. The most pleasant part of our composition. There is no need to make any recommendations here. In order not to spoil your taste)) But here are a couple of secrets, I can still tell you.
Stage 1. Base making:
Our task is to make three cakes - the basics. Where in the upper cake there is one part, in the middle - two, and in the bottom three parts. All together 6 parts. There are 72 diapers in the Pack. 72/6 = 12. 12 diapers is 1 piece. Accordingly, the Upper cake - 12, the Middle - 24, the Lower 36 diapers.
The proposed twisting technique will allow you to practically not touch the diapers, not wrinkle and not violate the integrity of the entire styling and each one individually. It is important to follow the recommendations exactly, since the cake can lead to the side and it is very difficult to straighten it later.
1. Open the package and right in it, without separating or pushing them apart, count 36 diapers. We take a number of diapers of the right amount from the package, without violating the order, put them on the table.
2. We tie it with a linen elastic, tightening it not too tight so that it does not break the row, but not too weak so that it does not let it fall apart. In the photo, the elastic is wrapped in two turns, but if you want, you can wrap it with one turn for now. On the top side of the diapers, put a cup under the elastic band.
3. Packed diapers always have a slight slant to one side. This is where we start turning them. In order for the circle to immediately form correctly, lightly wrap the diapers around the cup.
4. With one hand, grab the cup and the diapers, as if fixing the beginning of the circle, and with the other, 1 little thing at a time, begin to increase the distance between the pressed diapers along the outer perimeter. Pressing the base of the right hand with your left hand, slide in the direction of the circle and slightly pull each subsequent diaper an even distance.
5. Our circle is already beginning to form.
6. The further you advance, the harder the circle will form. In order not to spoil the work already done, with the left hand we lightly hold the already aligned diapers so that they do not deform, and with the right we continue to increase the distance along the outer perimeter.
7. At the end of the circle, again with your left hand, hold the base together with the cup. Do not let the diapers move or change position so that the middle of the circle does not deteriorate. With the right we take the rest of the unformed diapers and wrap them in the right direction.
8. In the center of the cake, around the cup, constantly adjust the diapers so that they do not lie in packs, but twist evenly in the right direction. So they fit nicely and neatly in the center, and in the future will allow us to freely choose the diameter of the circle.
9. At the “freshly baked” cake, we align and hold the middle. We adjust the beginning to the tail.
10. The gum should always be strictly in the middle of the cake. If you do not follow it, the cake will “lead” to one side, and then it will be difficult to straighten it out.
11–12. When the circle is ready it is very weak. Carefully untie the bow with an elastic band, (the whole circle may fall apart, do not let the elastic out of your hands), tighten the knot tighter and make a second turn around the cake, tie it into a knot and a bow. Double elastic will allow us to adjust the diameter of the circle and the density.
13. We put the cake on the edge and begin the last stage of equalizing the distance between the diapers. Here you can already tighten them up a little. The elastic should not be too tight so that the diaper can easily be adjusted to the desired distance.
15. When you complete the circle. The cake is tightened with an elastic band even tighter and you can leave it at that density, but this form implies filling in the middle (our version). But if you decide to make a cake without filling, then now is the time to remove the glass from the center and tighten the cake to maximum density. The first and largest circle is ready. Now, therefore, according to the principle, we prepare cakes 2 (medium) of 24 diapers and 3 (small) of 12 diapers.
That's how we got three gorgeous cake base layers. Neatly, hygienically and very nicely packed pack of diapers. Your baby's parents will thank you.
Stage 2. Filling:
We hide the "stuffing" in the cake. The diameter of the glass in the center does not limit our capabilities so much that we can put anything there. Children's cosmetics, clothes, toys, and much more interesting and necessary for a young mother. We spread the glass, and instead we insert an impressive pack of wet wipes and shampoo. At the second cake, we also carefully lay out the glass and put it on the first cake. We also deprive the third cake of the middle and put it on the second. We put a bathing agent in an empty place. This will be the base that holds the cake together.
Our cake is again in its original form, but this time with a filling. Now on each cake we untie the bow and tighten the circles more tightly. This is done to compact and level all tiers. Now our cake will not collapse, and notice that there is not a single fastener in it yet. Let me remind you though! If you want to leave it empty, then it's time to take out the cups, pull the circles tighter and stick an ordinary wooden skewer (one or two) from the top cake to the bottom. Or a foil tube.
Stage 3. Composition layout:
To decorate the base, we take diapers. We fold them so that we get a strip equal to one turn of the cake in length and width. This is done very simply. Fold an approximate strip and in the center attach the cake to it with an edge. The width is immediately visible, and the length is determined by the connection of the two ends of the diaper around the cake. If the diaper is too long, you can tuck one of the sides (in the photo, the first diaper is tucked up on the left). If short, use it either on a small cake, or fold it diagonally. We use baby safety pins to fasten diapers. They will then be useful to the gifted mother. After the cake is fastened, carefully pry off the elastic and pull it out. Now the diaper will hold the entire cake. The living construction of the cake itself regulates the filling. As soon as you remove the elastic, it unwinds to the desired size and fills the entire space inside the diaper. So your cake will always be perfect in terms of density, accuracy and consistency. appearance. No additional rubber bands, ribbons, etc.

You will need the following materials:
- diapers (84-90 pcs);
- gum;
- tapes;
- children's things (sliders, vests, socks, hats);
- toys, bottles, pacifiers;
- cake stand.
Before you start making a cake, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly. Do not forget that a diaper is a personal hygiene item for a newborn. The number of diapers depends on the size of the future cake and the number of tiers. For a three-tiered cake, about 90 diapers are needed.
For the bottom tier, take 40-45 diapers and lay them in a tight circle. Please note that diapers should be turned to one side. For a simpler and faster formation of a circle, you can put a core from an adhesive tape or a roll of toilet paper in the center. Slide the diapers towards the core and tie them tightly with tape.
For the middle tier, you will need about 25-30 diapers, for the top 10-15. The middle and upper tiers are made according to the same principle as the lower one.
When the base of the cake is formed, you can start decorating it. You can decorate the tiers with a wide satin ribbon and braid. On each tier, you can combine wide and narrow ribbons. On the surface of the cake, you can place clothes, toys, bottles, nipples or any other items that you want to give your baby.
If you want a cake made by your hands to give the impression of a real one, then prepare a special stand for it.
Diaper and diaper cake ( step by step master class with photo)
To make it you will need:
- diapers;
- clothespins;
- diapers;
- thin blanket;
- undershirts, socks, nipples and other things for the baby;
- cake stand.
So, when all the necessary "ingredients" for the cake are collected, it's time to start. We begin to twist the diapers into a tube, starting from the side of the gum. We fasten the diaper with clothespins so that it does not unfold. Given the fact that the diaper is a delicate thing, it is fashionable to take plastic clothespins and pour boiling water over them before use. When the diapers are twisted, lay out six tubes around one and fasten them with a rubber band or ribbon.
Then we take the diaper and fold it so that its width is equal to the height of the diaper circle. You need to wrap the diapers with a diaper and secure it with a pin. The top tier of the cake is ready.
Now let's start creating the middle tier. For him, you need to take 19 diapers. Of the seven, we make a circle as for the first tier and fasten it with an elastic band, slip the remaining diapers under the elastic band. Then we fold another diaper and wrap our tier around it. Ready!
It remains to make the third, lowest tier. For him, you need to take 43 diapers. Following the example of the rest of the tiers, we make a circle of 7 diapers, then slip another 12 under the elastic band, fasten it with an elastic band and slip the remaining 24 diapers and fasten it again with an elastic band. Optionally, you can add another layer to your cake. It will be quite large, so it is best to wind the diapers in circles, and then connect them. The last tier is wrapped not with a diaper, but with a small thin blanket.
The appearance of a baby in the family is a real holiday for both parents and people close to the family. Of course, you should prepare for such an event in advance, especially when it comes to choosing a gift.
And then the question arises: what gift to give? It can be a memorable gift for parents and baby. This gift is sure to please new parents. Just do not forget that the birth of a child entails additional material costs. For this reason, a practical gift will be much more useful.
Who said that a practical gift can't be interesting and original? If you think so, then you are deeply mistaken! One of the options for a creative useful gift is a do-it-yourself diaper cake. Indeed, a very useful gift, because diapers for a newborn are an irreplaceable thing, since hygiene for a person comes first. Original submission not the most original thing - great idea! The most important thing is that such a gift can be made with your own hands.
Before showing a master class with step-by-step photos on how to originally build a cake from baby diapers, we will tell you what we need for this.
Necessary materials
What do you need to make a diaper cake at home? Any of the components of the decorative diaper cake can be removed or others can be added. It all depends on your imagination.
So, you will need:
- Diapers. It doesn't matter which brand of diapers, nor their thickness. All this is a purely individual matter. Although, of course, the thickness of the diapers should be taken into account in order to calculate the required amount for the cake. Let's start from the number 85. If you have thin enough diapers, then this amount will be enough to make a voluminous and beautiful cake. If diapers are thicker than usual, you can take a smaller amount.
- Ribbon. In order to fasten diapers in each tier, you will need an ordinary thin white ribbon. Stock up on enough, because you will need to combine all the tiers of the cake with diapers in this way. What could be the alternative? If you have a large elastic band in stock that can fit in diameter, use it. You can also tie the ends of a regular elastic band, thereby adjusting the length. Elastic band in this case will be a little more practical and easier to use.
- Scissors. You will undoubtedly need to shorten or cut the ribbons or elastic on the diaper cake.
- Double sided tape. This item will be needed when combining the tiers on a diaper cake.
- Decorative elements. What applies to them? Various bright ribbons, a wide variety of colors and widths. To decorate a diaper cake, small things that newborn children need are also used. So on a gift diaper cake there may be: a nipple, booties, a hat, socks, and so on. More information about what can be used for decoration can be found in the master class itself.
All items from this diaper cake list are available at any baby or sewing store. Rest assured, finding something from this list will not be difficult.
Now let's go directly to the master class with a diaper cake with step-by-step photos.
Step-by-step master class on making a diaper cake
There is no doubt that you can easily make such a cake, because step-by-step photos will help you.
All work on the "cooking" of such a cake begins with the preparation of tiers, which will later need to be fastened together. So, step by step instructions:
1 step: First you need to distribute diapers according to the following instructions. For the lowest tier, you need to take half of the diapers prepared for the cake. Pampers need to be laid out tightly enough, as shown in the photo. For the second tier, you will need to take more than half of the remaining diapers. Accordingly, a small part of the diapers remains for the topmost tier of the cake.
On a note! If you want to make the tier at the base dense enough and more stable, use a regular core, which is left after using toilet paper or small paper towels.
2 step: After you have folded the diapers in a circle, you need to cut off the required amount of white thin tape (or elastic) and wrap the resulting circle around it. Do not tighten the elastic too much and, conversely, tie it loosely enough. Otherwise, the bandage may simply fly off at an unnecessary moment.
3 step: Repeat the procedure with diapers on the 2nd and 3rd tiers of the cake, also tying them with a ribbon or elastic band. Connect the tiers with double sided tape. Of course, at this stage, the diaper cake is almost ready. However, we see only a white canvas, which does not please the eye. It is necessary to fix this with the help of bright ribbons with which you can tie the tiers of the cake. Pay attention to the fact that all the ribbons are combined with each other. A tasteless combination of colors can spoil the impression of the whole cake. By the way, in stores today you can find tapes of various shapes and densities. Experiment!
5 step: Now let's decorate the diaper cake with additional gifts for the newborn and his parents. What can be used as a decoration? It can be a variety of elements. Pay attention to small accessories: a beautiful pacifier, a bright rattle, a cute little hat, cute booties, a small children's toy that would not clutter up the whole cake and much more. Of course, you can use more voluminous things, for example, sliders. You can just gently roll them into a tube and fasten the roll with a bright ribbon. All these accessories must be attached with double-sided tape to the ribbons that are already on the diaper cake.
Interesting! Some craftsmen in the manufacture of diaper cake make it even more multifunctional. They create the basis for a cake from ordinary cardboard. Pampers are arranged in a circle, closer to the edge, thereby creating additional space in the center of the tier. You can also put baby rattles in these pockets on the tiers, or you can fold the diaper beautifully and decorate it with an original postcard.
That's all! Do-it-yourself diaper cake turned out to be easy to make! And now it is ready to be handed over to joyful parents. And how many useful things you will give along with diapers: nipples, a bottle and much more!
Cake from diapers for a boy
When making a birthday cake from diapers, of course, the gender of the newborn child should be taken into account. So, for example, for a boy, the use of blue and blue shades in decorating a cake will be more relevant. Accordingly, all shades of gifts on this cake should be as close as possible to these shades. Everyone should understand - a real man is growing!
Cake from diapers for a girl
A diaper cake for a girl is just an indescribable flight of fancy. In decoration, you can use both delicate pink colors and more saturated shades. In addition, it would be appropriate to combine several shades with each other. This will add extra color to the gift.
