Tricycle Diaper Cake Tutorial
by Maiden D'Shade
With the green light to proceed, I went shopping. I picked up a pack of size 1 diapers, 2 blue receiving blankets, a pair of blue baby socks, 2 blue bibs, a bottle and some ribbon.
I saw some pictures online showing people using a cake pan to form rounds of diapers. So I tried that and it worked great! I used a regular 8 inch pan and 20 diapers to make each tire. I added one at a time, overlapping about an inch.
Once I came around, I tucked the beginning diapers toward the center so the remaining diapers would end up on the outside.
Once all 20 diapers were added, I evened them out. Then I started to
gently pull the diaper wheel out of the cake pan and put a rubber band
around it to secure the diapers and continued pulling them out of the
pan. Then I centered the rubber band and evened out the diapers.
Using my fist, I made a circular opening in the middle of the
tires. Then I wrapped ribbon over the rubber bands down the center of
the tire. I secured it with double stick tape every 3 or 4 diapers.
Next I rolled the receiving blankets. One of them I added a long piece of yarn down the center before rolling. I fed that blanket through two of the tires, the back of the third (front) tire goes between the back two. I strung the yarn through the front tire, effectively completing a circle. I pulled each end of the string up on top of the front tire, tied a knot to secure the three tires together. Then I shortened the tails of the knot.
Next I fed the other blanket through the front tire.
I placed a bib (puddle guard) on the front tire with the neck portion
toward the back. I placed the bottle on top of the bib with the business
end toward the back. (The bottom of the bottle becomes the headlight.)
Because the bottle was one of those angled kinds I was able to sort of
secure it with the bib.
Next, I brought both ends of the second blanket up over the bottle and
secured it with a rubber band. Then I took the baby socks and added them
to the ends of the blanket forming the handle bars. And then I added
the other bib (the seat) with the neck portion going around the handle
bars.
Over the rubber band I tied a bow. Then I decided to tuck the top bib under the second blanket.
And it's finished!
Isn't it cute?? I just love that argyle ribbon!
Enjoy your weekend!
