I’m not sure who invented diaper bouquets but I’m pretty sure that person was a genius. Not only are they absolutely adorable, but
How To Make A Diaper Bouquet
they are also practical and easily customizable. They also make great centerpieces at baby showers!
Step 1
First, cut a length of ribbon and make a loop at the end.
Place a diaper on the end and secure it with another piece of ribbon. Tie two ribbons into a bow, then either store them in an airtight bag or make them into a bouquet.
Cut The Ribbon To Desired Length And Make A Loop With A Knot At The End
You will want to cut the ribbon to the desired length and tie it into a loop at the end.
This is where you’ll secure a diaper, so make sure it’s long enough to wrap around your bouquet with room to spare. You can secure this loop with one of several methods:
- Using a small piece of tape, wrap it around both sides of your knot, or
- Use straight pins to pin down each side of your knot, or
- Use hot glue to glue over each side of your knot (be careful when doing this).
Another way to keep things together is by securing them through cellophane. Cut strips about 2-3 inches wide from an old box or wrapping paper roll. Wrap these around any parts that need extra stability—like where you’re attaching ribbon from two directions—and cut off excess material at either end so that none shows through beyond where you’ve secured things together with tape or glue.
Step 2
Place a diaper on the end of your ribbon, which should be wrapped in cellophane. Secure the cellophane to the loop with two pieces of curling ribbon tied into a bow.
Continue steps one and two until you have as many diapers as you want in your bouquet, then tie off the end with another piece of curling ribbon tied into a bow.
Place A Diaper On The End Of The Ribbon Wrapped In Cellophane
Now, it’s time to secure the diaper to the end of the ribbon.
To do this.
- Place a diaper on the end of your ribbon and hold it in place with one hand.
- Wrap cellophane around the base of your diaper, securing it to your ribbon using an overhand knot (the kind you would use to tie your shoes).
Secure The Cellophane To The Loop With Two Pieces Of Curling Ribbon Tied Into A Bow
Now that you’ve got the diaper bouquet ready to go, it’s time to tie it up with a bow.
Place your double piece of curling ribbon around the loop at the top of your diaper bouquet and secure it by tying two knots in a row. Tie another knot on top of this one (to keep both pieces from coming undone) and trim off any excess ribbon at the end.
Use ribbon that matches either:
- The color of your diapers (if they’re white) or
- The color of your baby’s eyes (if they’re blue).
Step 3
Now, you’re ready to shape your bouquet! Continue adding diapers, one at a time, until the bouquet reaches a size that you like. (This part is entirely up to you.)
Be sure that each diaper is secured well—you don’t want them falling off! You can also add some additional little embellishments if desired—color-coordinated ribbons or decorations are a great way to finish things off.
Continue Steps One And Two Until Your Bouquet Is As Large As You’d Like It To Be.
To make your bouquet as large as you’d like it to be, continue adding diapers and ribbon until the desired size is reached.
Keep adding diapers and ribbon until you are happy with the size and appearance of your diaper bouquet!
Step 4
Now that you’re armed with some basic knowledge about the basics of diaper bouquets, let’s talk about how you can make yours stand out from the rest.
The best way to do this is by adding extra little embellishments that aren’t necessarily part of the design itself. For example, color-coordinated ribbons,
decorations (like tiny stuffed animals or figurines), and anything else that catches your eye is fair game. These extra touches make all the difference in making your bouquet uniquely yours!
Make Sure Each Diaper Is Secured Well. (Don’t Want Them Falling Off!)
If you’re going to use a diaper bouquet, it’s important to ensure each individual diaper is secure.
To do this, you can use a special diaper pin (easily purchased at the craft store) or ribbon to secure your diapers together.
If you want to be more creative and less expensive, try using a rubber band or even tape! This will prevent the diapers from falling off and keep them in place as they dry out.
Add Extra Little Embellishments, Such As Color Coordinated Ribbons Or Decorations
These additional embellishments can include.
Color-coordinated ribbons or decorations. For example, if the baby’s room is blue and brown, you might use ribbons in those colors for the bouquet. If it is pink and white, you might use pink or white ribbons instead.
Ribbon flowers such as roses, daisies, and lilies. These are easy to make by folding long strips of crepe paper over a small round object like a ballpoint pen or pencil eraser (no sharp edges!), then gluing them together at their centers with floral tape or glue dots—they look great when combined with real flowers!
Ribbon bows are also very simple to make; just cut out two circles from pretty printed fabric (or colored felt), glue them together at their centers with fabric glue so they form a heart shape then wrap ribbon around both sides of the heart until it looks full enough before tying it off at each end with another piece of ribbon that matches your theme color scheme
