NEWBORN TUTU DIAPER CAKE

When this posts, Caitlin will be at her baby shower!  This is the tutu diaper cake Great Grandma Martin (Grandma GG) and I made for the baby and gift table! (Aunt Courtney bought the diapers!)

HOW TO MAKE A NEWBORN TUTU DIAPER CAKE:

1.We bought 3 different spools of tulle, two head bands with bows (one for the waist band).
2. Stretch the waist band on a hanger
3.  Cut 16" strips of each color tulle (I used 3/4 of each spool).
4.  Tie the trio strips of tulle onto the waist band (tutu will be 8 inches long).  Don't worry about how the knots looked.  When knots turn different directions, the tulle will fluff in different directions!  :-)
5. Add Bow.  
6. Purchase a large box of newborn diapers...we used 70 diapers to make the diaper cake. 
7. Hot glue a paper towel roll to a cardboard base.
8. Each diaper was rolled and tied, then placed in a circle around the tube until the shape and size of each layer of "cake" was gained.  Tie each layer of "cake" with a ribbon, to prevent diaper slippage.
9. Add the tutu and headband.  I added an extra bow at the top to finish the cake top!
10.  Almost toooo pretty to take apart, but that's the whole point....I can't wait to see the baby in this tutu and headband.  I can see the picture in my mind now!  Plus the diapers will surely come in handy!  Total gift cost $30.00!  Can't beat that!.....Plus it was made with love by Grandmas who love Little Miss Gracyn to pieces!!!
