DIAPER BABY SHOWER IDEAS
A clever idea that plays off of the diaper cake theme is to make Washcloth Cupcake Favors for your guests to take home!
They are made using real washcloths (and not baby washcloths) so your guests can use them! Simply roll up a washcloth, tie it with a cute ribbon and place it into a cupcake wrapper.
You can even be more clever by attaching a cute bar of soap and a favor tag to the cupcakes. The favor tag can say something like "From Our Shower to Yours! - Grab our FREE ones below! (click on the pic)
- You can also make several small baby shower diaper cakes using different colors and decorations. Place one on each table and tie balloons to them for a cute centerpiece. Give all of the mini diaper cakes to the new mom at the end of the baby shower.
- If you are playing games at the shower, be sure to play the popular and hilarious dirty diaper baby shower game! So gross but so fun! Click on pic below to see!

Cloth Diaper Cake diy
This unique and adorable cloth diaper cake was made by Jackie from Kansas City, Missouri. Below are her instructions for making this cute masterpiece!
• When making this diaper cake, I used a big round colored gift cylinder (you can find cylinder shaped gift boxes at party stores or card shops.)
• Then I put large rubber bands around the container
• Next, Roll the inserts for the diapers and fasten them to the rubber bands.
• Then use a larger band and placed the fuzzi bunz and bum genius diapers over the inserts. Tie all together with curly ribbon.
• In the cylinder I placed a wet bag and lemon scented diaper crystals
• On top of the cake I placed a little frog with wearing a cloth diaper I found at a gift shop.
• Around some of the diapers, I placed little girl hair ribbons.
• This cake has a total of 18 cloth diapers.
