A little tip: before buying diapers, it is very desirable to learn from your parents what brand they prefer. It is also desirable to know the weight of the baby and how often the parents will put the baby on the diaper. If the crumb does spend a lot of time naked, it's better to buy diapers of different sizes for the cake, the babies grow very quickly. In addition, many babies are born with a lot of weight, they can just fit in size 2.

How to make cake from diapers - instruction
- We start making cakes from the top tier. For him, we need 7 diapers. We take the diaper out of the package, in no case unfolding it, and starting with the rubber band, wrap it in a tight tube. To fix it, press it with the clothespin.
- The same is done with the other six diapers.
- Now we put one tube in the middle, six are in a circle and we squeeze everything with a paper band.
- We take the first diaper. Fold it several times so that the height is equal to the height of the cake tier.
- We wrap the diapers with a diaper and fix our entire structure with a paper band.
- After that, the clothespins can be removed. The first tier is ready.
- We will engage in the second tier of the cake. For him, we need 19 diapers. So, we make the same circle of seven diapers as for the first tier, fasten with an elastic band, and then we take 12 more diapers, we twist them, fix them with clothespins and have around a small circle.
- Next, wrap the second tier of the cake with a diaper, fix it with an elastic band and remove the clothespins. We have already made two tiers of cake from diapers.
- To make the third level of cake from diapers we needed 43 diapers. We do it exactly the same as the second level, only for fixing we use not a paper band, but the usual linen, then we put another circle of diapers under it - 24 pieces.
- The last level, the lower one, is the most laborious. We will make for him three circles of seven diapers, as for the first level.
- Next, we connect from a linen gum, in "gaps" we will insert one twisted diaper, then add one more circle of diapers.
- Lower level wrapped blanket or plosenochkom.
- Finally, all our floors are ready.
- Now let's take up the most interesting - decoration. We cut out rectangular boxes from dense cardboard and put on children's socks.
- And then the rectangles with socks are carefully pushed under the diapers and blanket, we place even spoons and toys. To hide diapers from the top, we will pour tiers with paper green grass.
