popular is the diaper cake. You can learn to make your own diaper cake centerpiece or purchase one online.

centerpiece on your own, simply following these instructions:
40 small diapers
2 baby towels or small receiving blankets
1 burp rag
1 baby bottle
Rubber bands or scotch tape
3 diaper pins
1 cardboard cake plate
1 roll of colored curling ribbon

continuing to roll the actual diapers around themselves until 20 of the diapers have been used. Then, with the rubber bands or tape, secure them so they remain firmly in place.
For the second layer, you would use 10 or 15 of the diapers depending on how thick you want it and do the same for the top layer using the remaining diapers (usually around five). Next, fold one of the receiving blankets so it is the same width as the bottom layer and then wrap it around the diapers, covering them. Do the same thing for the middle

layer with the other blanket and then for the top layer, use the burp cloth. After each has been wrapped around, secure them with a couple of safety pins.
You will then take the curling ribbon, choosing colors to match the sex of the baby or theme of the party, wrapping it around each of the three layers. Be sure to leave about four inches on each to curl. To finish the cake, use your cake topper on the top and then place smaller baby items around for decoration.
Keep in mind that you can make a couple smaller diaper

cakes using 20 diapers for the entire cake or one really, large one with 65 diapers. If you prefer to buy the diaper cake, the price will range on average between $30 and $60.
