Baby Shower Gift - Unique Diaper Cakes

Bicycle

There are so many tiered diaper cakes out there, ones you can make and even buy. But I wanted something better, something that not everyone can easily make or buy... and found that there's a way you can make tricycles, bicycles, and more... out of baby stuff and diapers!

Side View

 

The bicycle is similar to the tricycle in its contruction except for the number of wheels. You can vary the number of materials used to make the diaper cake. For example, instead of using another bib to cover the rear wheel, a long burp cloth and a pack of three newborn onesies were used on top of the rear wheel to make it look more like a seat.

Bicycle Diaper Cake with Platform

 

 The platform was made out of size 3 diapers. I like using size 3 or 4 diapers because the receiver of the gift doesn't have to take it apart right away. The photos were taken unwrapped, but it is always a good idea to wrap the finished diaper cake in celophane to keep the materials "fresh" and dust-free!
