But since it's just boring to give away diapers in their normal packaging, creative minds have come up with alternatives like diaper cakes, diaper cupcakes, locomotives and even cars and strollers to give the whole thing a really cool look. The Pinterest trend report predicts the diaper bouquet for 2025, as well as the trendy nesting parties instead of the classic baby showers. So if you decide to go with this idea, you will probably be among the first (and only) to come up with this idea. But how can you make your own diaper bouquet?
The cool gift idea for the baby shower
The bouquet may be a little time consuming, but it is far from difficult to make. So just plan enough time, although you can also work in stages. What do you actually need if you make the diaper bouquet yourself?
- Diapers (smallest possible sizes)
- Wooden sticks (e.g. shish kebab skewers)
- Floral foam or other type of foam
- Elastic bands in smaller and larger sizes
- Foil, wrapping paper or packing paper
- optionally other gifts/decorations such as socks, pacifiers, pacifier chains, plush toys, drool bibs, etc.
This is how the diaper cake is made.
With these instructions you can make the diaper bouquet yourself
- Place a diaper in front of you.
- Place a stick on one edge. One end ends with the diaper, the other sticks out.
- Roll up the diaper, including the stick. The roll should be as tight as possible.
- Wrap a rubber band tightly around the finished roll to hold it in place.
- Insert the diaper roll into the floral foam.
- Arrange all other roles as well.
- If you have a larger group, tie a large rubber band around them. This way you stabilize them so that they don't fall apart later due to the weight.
- Place additional diaper rolls around it, which you also tie together at intervals.
- Once you've finished tying, you can wrap the bouquet with foil or wrapping paper, as is customary for bouquets of flowers.
- Finally you can add the other accessories. If necessary, you can also tie these to skewers and stick them between the nappy flowers.
