Hey I'm Crafty...sort of: Diaper Cake

Sorry the picture is so blurry.  I use my camera on my phone and the quality is terrible.

This is a project that I did almost a year ago but I was so proud of myself at the time.  I was hosting my best friend's baby shower and wanted to make something that would display well out on a table.  I saw something similar at my sister-in-law's baby shower and just loved it.  It was pretty easy to make but did require a lot of time and patience.    I bought a bulk amount of diapers (50, I think) from Walmart.  The first thing I did was individually roll them up tightly and secured them with tape so that they wouldn't come undone.  Then I just started arranging them from the inside to the outer layers and then repeated the same thing for each layer.  It was a bit tricky trying to corral them all up to tie the ribbon around the outside so that they would stay nice and compacted.  I placed a piece of circular cardboard so that the diapers wouldn't fall out of the bottom.  I sized it to matched the bottom layer of diapers and then used more ribbon to keep that in place.
