Cake from diapers step by step - master class

- . So, for a large product from three tiers you will need an average of 80 to 90 diapers. In some cases, even about a hundred. It is recommended to purchase products of three types - in this way you will achieve visually smooth transitions between the layers of
. IMPORTANT: As for the diaper brand, it is best to ask your parents what brand they prefer to buy - so you definitely will not be mistaken.
- The cake stand is a perfect piece of a square-shaped fibreboard, the sides of which will be approximately 37 centimeters. To it it is necessary to pick up and a packing paper of slightly larger size. From ordinary cardboard refuse immediately, as it will surely bend under the weight of the finished gift.
- Food film
- Polyethylene for packing
- Disposable gloves
- Take care of the material that will be stapled - tapes, double-sided scotch, elastic bands, clothespins, wire. As for tapes, it is better to take at least 3 meters, but it is desirable to have a stock. Also stock up with threads, paper bands or narrow strips to fasten the diapers

- Hygiene - first of all, so twist each diaper into food film. Do not put this hygiene item on the table, even if the table seems clean. Twist the gloves. How to make the wrap
- You can thus treat each diaper individually, and you can just a few pieces. A bit of advice: start folding from the rubber band - in this case, the side fold will be neat
- And if you also fill the rubber band itself - it will be generally fine, as nothing will stick out. Make sure that the diaper tube tightens tightly. Fasten each tube with an elastic band or temporarily a clothespin.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to thoroughly wash your hands and the materials that you are going to work with.
- Now arrange the diapers with a tier. As for the quantity, you can not wait for clear recommendations, because it's up to you to decide what size the cake will be - maybe it will consist of one tier
- One tube can be inserted in the middle, and you can leave the middle for something else -for example, or even a bottle of champagne for the joy of parents. You can twist as one tier or several, each of which will be smaller than the previous one.
- . Now wrap the tiers - the cover can either partially cover the tier or completely. Even the partial will already look pretty festive, besides the bands with which the diapers are bandaged, you will hide
- Tapes here will be very even appropriate. If you want to completely wrap the diapers, it is recommended to use special wrapping paper for this purpose, or, even better, the diaper
- . Fasten the edges of the diaper with pins. Recommended special pins for diapers - they are more, and more elegant. Now remove the clothespins from the pampers if you were holding them
