Diaper Cakes

Last year one of my resolutions was to exercise my crafty side and here is another one of those projects.  

Below is my very first diaper cake I made! Excuse the bad photos, it was with my android and the lighting was horrible.
This one is very basic.  It was my first time ever making one and trying to figure it out on my own.

I used one pack of size 1 diapers.  I didn't have any rubber-bands, so I improvised and used hair bands.  I rolled the first 4 diapers, then wrapped a black rubber-band around them.  This would be my center part that would hold the other diapers together around it.


I then laid the diapers out in a circle and slowly started wrapping them together around the base(my rolled diapers).  I then secured with a larger hairband, which eventually popped, so I had to find another one and then quickly tie with the ribbon and stuff the other diapers around it.
This is how it turns out.  I stacked the two diaper circles to complete the cake.


Finished Product!  I tied shoes, rubber duckies, a onesie, teething rings and stuffed animal
around it.

My 2nd one was a little more complicated, but unfortunately, I had to make it quickly, it was a last minute gift and I didn't get any before and during pictures, but this is the finished product.  This one was way more fun to make, but a little harder to get even! :)



I used a pack of the Huggies blue Jean diapers so the bike would be blue.  The front light is a bottle, with onesie's on the front and around the bottle.  I used a very stiff diaper pad to make the handle bars and then put blue skull socks to make it feel more like a Harley, haha.  Then a burp cloth and bib underneath to make the seat for the bike.  It makes giving diapers so much more fun when they can be a center piece.

 Awhile back Angie Ramirez of a http://www.littleinspiration.com/ blog had a contest to win one of her crafty pieces, a beautiful toddler bow!  I participated and was so caught off guard when she told me I had won!!  I hardly ever win anything!  haha 
I told her I just had to share pictures with my readers.

Monday Part 2....wait, its TUESDAY!!!

This is how we felt yesterday.....

Leaky Diapers?

The past few weeks have been a soggy mess in Tenley's bed.  She has slept through the night since she was only a few weeks old, but now that she is older and drinking more milk, she is waking up soaking wet.  I have tried putting on a cloth diaper over her disposable but we still have leakage.  
Dr. Denmark recommends putting the diaper on backwards when changing your newborn since her advice is to keep your baby on its tummy at all times including diaper changes to keep the very soft skull from being flattened and for the baby to feel more secure. 
It appears to be a silly notion for my daughter to wear her diaper backwards but if there is more coverage in the back surely this could work.  Wallah-- we have fixed the nighttime leaky problem!!  Here are some pictures of Tenley and her backwards diaper. 
On a side note, these are the free Walgreens diapers I got on my last Walgreen shopping spree!  See the "Couponing" category for that post.  :)
