Materials: diapers (approx. 64 pcs), rubber bands, felt ribbon 1 inch wide, for this project in yellow and brown, a satin ribbon, cake tray, scissors, glue, bows.

Roll the diapers and secure with rubber bands. Repeat it with all diapers from the pack.

Place the diapers upright on the tray in such a way to form the first layer of the cake. Cut the felt ribbon, and tie it around the tier to keep the diapers in place.

Repeat the previous steps for every tier of the cake by reducing the number of diapers in each layer and alternating the color of the ribbons.

Now glue the satin ribbon of the wide felt ribbon connecting the ends with hot glue gun. It would be better if you choose a similar but contrasting colour.
