Supplies Needed for a Simple and Elegant Diaper Cake

  • approximately 60 size 1 diapers (you can use other sizes as well, but this size looks the most appealing) of any brand (some brands are thicker than others)
  • one 10" round cake board (can be found at any craft store or Wal-Mart in cake decorating section)
  • rubber bands (as many as diapers used)
  • hot glue gun
  • extra hot glue refills
  • one 14" dowel rod
  • one roll of packing/shipping tape (I like this tape because it isn't too sticky and it's wide)
  • one pair of tape cutting scissors (or other tape cutting device-I use old scissors to cut tape and sharp ones to cut ribbon)
  • one pair of ribbon cutting scissors (nice, sharp ones to cut clean lines and curl ribbon)
  • wide ribbon (around 1.5" or so)
  • thin ribbon* (around .5" or so)
  • curling ribbon (as many as you'd like, in matching colors, the best deals I've seen are at Hobby Lobby and Dollar Tree)
  • one flower topper (I like big ones that have wire on bottom) or other topper
  • one 24" w x 30" h cellophane bag* (any color, I use clear in this tutorial)
  • one yard lace* (any kind you like, it is to skirt bottom of cake)
*optional
