How 'bout them Cowboys!

Good Evening Readers!

Front

I have another awesome project to share with you!!  My good friend Elva (thanks for all your business Elva) asked if I could make her a diaper cake for her sister-in-law's baby shower.  She wanted it big and Dallas Cowboy themed, and I said PERFECT!!!  Diaper cakes are pretty easy, this one was definitely a challenge, but I love a challenge!  I told her to buy what ever outfits, toys, and other baby things she wanted to include in the cake, and I would be glad to do it.

Things you will need:

• Diapers (depending on how big you want the cake will depend on how many diapers you will need, I used a box of 120)
• Outfits, toys, baby products, bottles, anything baby you want to be included in the cake
• Platform to hold diaper cake (thick poster board, cardboard, wood, anything sturdy)
• Ribbon
• Rubber bands (all sizes are good)
• Hot glue gun
• Stickers
• Other decorations

I always start with rolling the diapers.  You will want to roll the diapers tight, and tie them with the rubber bands.  Then you will need to arrange them in a circle (or a square) and use the ribbon to tie them together.  In this cake I used a pillow pet as the 4th tier, but that can always be replace with another layer of diapers.  Then I took all the onesies, shirts, and other outfits and rolled them as well.  I integrated the outfits with diapers too in the top two tiers.  

After all the layers are up I start decorating.  I take the stickers, stars and other little stuff and put them on the cake.  I hung some pacifiers, and lotions on the cake as well.  And your done, an awesome diaper cake in three hours.  Thank you Elva for helping me make this one, couldn't have done it with out you!

Thanks for reading, keeping checking back for more creations!!
