Elephant Diaper Cake
Materials:
- rubber bands (clear and regular)
- Diapers (I used a small pack of about 32)
- Receiving blanket
- Pacifier
- 2 Matching bibs
- 2 Small buttons
- Wire (any gauge)
- Tape
- Glue dots
- Ribbon
- Scissors
Directions:
-
- Roll 2 sets of 4 each diapers (securing each roll with a rubber band) then secure the groups of 4 together with a larger rubber band
- Roll 2 sets of 9 each diapers (securing each roll with a rubber band) then secure the groups of 9 in a round shape with a larger rubber band
- Set the 2 sets of 9 on their sides and but them up to each other, secure with a rubber band
- Take 2 diapers and open them up (lay on top of each other), roll a third diaper and place it at one end on the inside of them, fold the bottom 2 diapers up and around the rolled diaper securing in place with a rubber band (this makes the head and trunk).
- Lay the other end of the 3 diapers that is open on the top end of your 18 diaper set (flatten it out to shape the head with the trunk hanging down in front of it)
- Secure with another rubber band
- Cut some wire to fit the inside outer edge of your bibs, tape the wire on the inside (making the bib more flexible and ridged)
- Wrap the 2 bibs around the head of the elephant
- Wrap your 18 diapers behind the bib ears with a receiving blanket tape in place and add a ribbon around to secure in place
- Adjust your ears (you can poke it into your receiving blanket to hid the extra material
- Poke a pacifier in the back end of your 18 diaper body for a tail
- Use glue dots to stick your buttons onto your face for eyes
- lay the 18 set of diapers onto of your 2 groupings of 4 for the feet
