So a frustrated designer writes she and her group mates wonder....Is the DIY market the downfall of sales????
Hmm I have been hearing this....what do you think? Are more people doing it themselves?
And on that note here are THE instructions to this lovely dispsosable diaper bag...a must have for your next baby shower ... These babies sell from $68-$120.00 on various websites.
Materials
96 Disposable Diapers or Nappies
3 yards (3 mts) of Wide 1 inch or bigger ribbon
flowers for decoration
Cake Topper
Rubber Bands
2 yards (2 mts) of Elastic
Start by making the base which takes 50 disposable nappies we made ours using a tray as a base which makes it much easier to get a round finish but if you don't have a round tray then make a cardboard base for support.
Start laying out the diapers on their sides to form a round base it may take 4 hands to get it nice and tightly round. There should be a small space in the middle about 4 inch in diameter this will make this tier wider than the next. Once your have it rounded off use half the elastic to tie it around and secure the bottom layer.
For the second tier you will need 36 diapers this layer will need to be angled slightly to get a nice roundness you have it complete again secure it with elastic.
For the top tier you will need 10 nappies these ones will have to be angled and very tight to form a nice tight small circle. Secure with an Elastic band or a piece of elastic.
Place all the tiers on top of each other.
If you are planning on moving this a lot then secure the layers with some pins, but ideally its better to transport it in single layers and then re-construct it at it's final location.
Embellish it with little flowers, ribbons and even small baby items such as dummies and rattles.
We topped our cake off with a beanie baby but you can use anything that matches your theme.
These are perfect for baby showers and New mum gifts.
