Oh Boy Baby SHower

now I cant emember why I made these for the shower ;(

Oh Two-dles She's 2

My friend threw a super cute party that I got to help with so I thought I would share it before I forgot ;)

Diaper Cake

How I Made My Diaper Cakes

Roll all of your diapers one by one and rubberband. I used 120 size 2 diapers for my project. Sorry I forgot this picture ;(

Bunch all of the rolled diapers into the pan and put on the top lid to attach the large rubberband. I used 3 LG rubberbands for each layer.

Take out of the pans to place on the cake

Build your layers

Find the right size or sizes for you

Put crinkled paper inbetween layers & use skewers to hold the layers together when moved. For me the skewers helped me to build the piece to hold clothes.

Cover the bands with a thick ribbon band and begin to add your additional elements. Now its play time!

Dodger Done!!!

Here was my oh so fun Sports Baby Co-Ed shower!!! I was so blessed that by brother and sister-in-law would allow me to design the shower. I had so much fun looking at ideas and creating from there! It was a lot of work and the day before when I was still waiting on 3 packages to arrive it was a bit stressful. In the end God was so faithful even with the little things and everything arrived just in time! Now even if your favorite sports teams are not represented, you have to admit that your creative ideas are already flowing!!!

LA Dodgers Baseball

Manchester United Soccer

Sacramento Kings Basket Ball

SF 49ers Football

Sports Baby Extras

My sister In Law gave me this cute chalk board so I had to use it for her shower. On the back it says "Thanks for joining us!"

One of my gifts for this shower was a personalized bag and ticket style Thank You Cards!

Invite was designed from 3 invites found on Pintrest.
Thank You card was my own silly creation!

With the help of Pintrest I was able to think of a fun "non shower" game.

Sports Baby Diaper Cakes

Oh can I say these were both fun and a struggle at the same time. I looked all over on line and could not find what I was looking for. SO knowing me I thought I would design it myself ;) Good or bad idea I am still not sure. It started out rough and waiting for packages from England did not help! But in the end it all worked out and 120 diapers later here are my 4 diaper cakes!
