Ocean-Themed Diaper Cake

I decided I wanted my first post to be the diaper cake I made for my cousin's baby shower. The baby-to-be was a boy and the parents already had an ocean theme picked out for his room. The shower was to have an ocean theme as well. At the time, mommy-to-be had decided that she wanted to try cloth diapering, so I didn't want to make this diaper cake out of exclusively dispoable diapers, but I did want to use some. That led me to come up with all sorts of things I could roll in a similar manner to disposable diapers. Here is what I ended up using:
  • size 1 disposable diapers
  • one-size cloth diapers (I used Fuzzibunz bc that's what she registered for)
  • inserts for the cloth diapers
  • prefold cloth diapers
  • washcloths
As I said before, she wanted to try cloth diapering, so I really wanted to use cloth diapers. However, the one-size cloth diapers she had registered for were too expensive to use for the entire cake. I decorated  it with ocean themed items, of course to fit the shower theme.


And just because, here are a couple more pictures from the shower. My sister made the rest of the decorations.

Hello!

Hello all! (Ok, probably nobody, but whatever, ha.) I love to make things and decorate and do all sorts of crafty things. Since the entire free world likes to brag on their things via internet, I decided I wanted to as well. Actually, I'll probably use this as a portfolio of sorts for showing people different projects I have worked on. And now that you are thoroughly bored..... Not sure what my first post will be. Maybe something old I have done previously, or maybe one of the projects I am currently working on. Oh, and I'm sure I'll throw in some posts about the house too, since it is pretty customized. I hope you come back and visit often!
