How to Make Diaper Wreaths
Now we are onto the fun part of this article, the DIY! Below I show you how to make diaper wreaths. But remember, this is YOUR craft. Because of this, I kept my DIY simple, showing you how to create a solid base to work from that you can decorate however you see fit. Once you have all of the supplies listed below, we can get started.
Supplies
Here we have a simple list of supplies that you will need to do this craft. This is just the baseline, so if you want to add more decoration once the base is finished, add whatever you need to your cart! Remember that this is your baby, figuratively, of course; the real baby is what we are celebrating. I just mean that you can make this your own!
Step One
First things first, go ahead and lay out all of your supplies. This is my favortie way to prepare for a crafting session because you know exactly where everything that you need is. Open up your diaper packs, lay out your ribbon. If you are planning on adding some extra designs, lay out all those decorations as well.
Step Two
Next up, we get to start. The best thing you can do is roll up the diapers one at a time as you secure them down. Otherwise, you are either wasting your time by pre-tying them off or your energy since they will just unroll right away if they aren’t secured.
To secure them, tightly roll a diaper up and secure it with a zip tie. Continue to do this one at a time until the entire wreath is filled with baby diapers. You can do multiple layers if you like; it is up to you.
Step Three
Once you have your base finished(I recommend trying to fit the whole box of diapers), you can start adding some decorations depending on the gender or theme of the baby shower. Some people like to wait to find out what they are having, and if that is the case with your friends or family, perhaps you should go with yellow or green instead of a blue or pink ribbon.
Add your bow and any other decoration. Then take a step back and look at your handiwork: You did it!
