How to make a diaper wreath..

Make a Diaper Wreath
A beautiful diaper wreath is a unique, easy to make gift that can serve as a decoration until it's used by the mom-to-be. It requires fewer diapers than a diaper cake and takes up less room because it can be hung on a wall or door.

Edit Steps

  1. 1
    Unfold the diapers, so they make a long rectangle.

    Unfold the diapers, so they make a long rectangle. Don't unfold the wing parts, just unfold the main crease along the bottom.

  2. Wrap the diaper around the wreath, so that the crease is towards the middle of the ring and the top of the diaper sticks out away from the middle.

    Wrap the diaper around the wreath, so that the crease is towards the middle of the ring and the top of the diaper sticks out away from the middle. Place a clear rubber band around the top of the diaper to secure it to the wreath. Don’t try to wrap it around multiple times, like you would for hair. Just once will do.

    Add the rest of the diapers. There are two ways to do this:

    • Overlap each following diaper onto the previous diaper, to create a smooth, slightly swirled look for the end result.

    • Squish each diaper up against the side of the previous one, making a bunched appearance.

    • Continue adding diapers until the entire ring is covered.

    Decorate the wreath with ribbons.

    • Cut pieces of curling ribbon about 12 to 18 inches long.
    • Take one of each color that you are using, and hold them together as though they are one piece of ribbon, then tie them around the top of a diaper, covering the hair elastics.

    Attach the gifts. Cut a few 20 inch long pieces of ribbon for them. Tie the ribbon around a diaper, leaving two long equal-length tails, and then tie those tails through or around your gift. For a bottle, you’ll want to tie right below the ring that holds the nipple on. For a pacifier or toy keys, you’ll want to tie through the ring. Also, leave a bit of slack between the diaper and any smaller gifts, so that they don’t disappear inside all the curls.

    Curl the gift ribbons, and present a personal and handy gift to the mom-to-be!
