The main frame is made from corrugated cardboard. Since the material is not particularly dense, it is advisable to stick it on ordinary thick cardboard. As an option, a box sheet from a vacuum cleaner is suitable. It often has the desired shape, and even the hole needed for the headlamp is in the right place. You should pay attention to which side the cardboard bends, since it must be very strong. The second sheet of cardboard is used for the steps, it must be sheathed with a towel.

The color is selected according to your preference. A bottle is twisted through the front cardboard, it acts as a beep and a headlight. Since the diameter of the neck is smaller than the cap, it will hold perfectly.

Progress
In order to make such an original “cake”, it is necessary to roll all the diapers into a “roll” and secure them with rubber bands for money so that they do not unfold. After that, the children's blanket is folded into a narrow strip, after which it is made into a roll, into which a bottle is inserted. Capacity will serve as a reliable support. For stability, the entire structure is tied with a linen rubber. Pre-rolled diapers are distributed around the plaid and fastened again. The first tier is ready. This creates amazing gifts from diapers. How to make a second tier and decorate the cake is described below.
The prepared billet is placed on a base, which is cut out of cardboard according to the diameter of the future cake. The base is decorated in different ways: painted, pasted, decorated or sheathed. It all depends on the flight of fancy. On the first lay out the second tier of rolled diapers, tightened with elastic. "Cake" is ready, it remains to decorate.
Cake Decoration
Each tier must be tied with a wide ribbon and a beautiful bow should be attached. If desired, you can remove the gum that the diapers held. You can add a gift with a set of rattles or combs that are placed on top of the "cake". Around place "roses" of socks. The lower tier is decorated with "flowers" made of bibs. The "cake" is ready, it remains only to pack it in a suitable container, which can be tied with a smart bow.
Little tips
Before making gifts from diapers, it is better to find out which company parents prefer and what size the baby wears. As a support, you can install not a bottle, but, for example, champagne. Thus, there will be a surprise for parents. If various hygiene products will serve as a complement to the cake, it should be clarified whether the baby is allergic.
The basis for the "cake" by decoupage technology
When creating gifts for a newborn from diapers, you should choose only environmentally friendly and harmless materials. A white emulsion paint is best used as a base. Then cut out any pattern that is glued onto cardboard from three-layer large napkins. The edges of the stand are formed by means of a piece of sponge, which is dipped in paint and applied to the edge of the base. To consolidate the result, you can cover the entire stand with transparent varnish.
Of course, choosing a gift for a newborn is not an easy task. But you can create an amazing thing by going through a simple workshop.
Diaper gifts for little ladies
You can make many interesting things with your own hands. The fantasy of people is not limited. Gifts from diapers for a girl are very diverse. For example, you can create a beautiful "bouquet of flowers." Everything is very simple. To do this, by analogy with the "cake", they roll the diapers in rolls and collect them into a single "bouquet". Between diapers place baby clothes or artificial flowers with leaf sprigs.
"Stroller" made of diapers
Parents will like this gift very much. After all, diapers are not only a sought-after attribute in the life of a baby, it is also a beautifully designed present.
To create such a masterpiece, you need to prepare 10 diapers, which are fixed with rubber bands for money. They will serve as the basis for the "stroller". Two twisted diapers will act as wheels, they are attached to the body of the structure. A rectangle equal in shape to the diaper is cut out of cardboard. When working, be careful and clean. Then form the roof of the "stroller" and fasten it with an elastic band. The pampers located on the edge are covered with another diaper.
Dressing
In order to effectively decorate the "stroller", you need satin ribbons and liquid nails. The whole structure is connected with ribbons so that it is strong and stable. Many women who have already prepared gifts from diapers for a girl say that this process is very exciting, it brings a lot of pleasure.
Satin daisies are needed for wheels, they can be purchased or made independently. To make the core of the flower, it is necessary to wrap the cardboard blank with yellow tape. Equal strips are cut from satin fabric, which will serve as chamomile petals. They are glued in a chaotic manner with liquid nails. The finished flower can be planted on toothpicks and placed in the center of the wheel.
"Train" of diapers
Such a gift is perfect for both girls and boys. It is only necessary to select the appropriate ribbon colors for decoration. The “train” of diapers will really please the parents of the newborn. To make it, you need directly the diapers themselves, ribbons for decoration and any soft toys.
Five to six diapers are rolled up and applied to each other. 3 more diapers are placed on top perpendicular to the lower tier. The top row is tied with a blue or pink ribbon. On top they put a vertical, tied in a roll, diaper - it will be a pipe, next to it is a cooked soft toy. The second and third "car" are made by analogy with the first, they only reduce the number of diapers to three, and they are connected together by a thin ribbon. Such a train is done very easily and quickly, and a beautiful gift is obtained. The last two “cars” are decorated with handmade satin bows. In such a simple way, you can cook amazing gifts from diapers with your own hands.

Such important and overnight pleasant events, like the birth of a baby, are infrequent. And I really want to emphasize the solemnity of this bright event. Today it is difficult to surprise with a gift, so you have to invent something original and exclusive. Masterpieces from diapers will become an unforgettable present for young parents. A snail, a train, a bicycle, a bouquet of flowers, a cake, a scooter, a stroller, a lock, a bear, and other diaper creations made by yourself, will successfully replace the most expensive gift from the store.
