Highly beautiful gift for parents little boy! We make a motorcycle out of diapers with our own hands.

Today, many people are wondering: what gift to give in honor of the birth of a new man, how to decorate a joyful meeting from the hospital? After all, for every woman this is the most solemn moment in life. But giving a lot of bouquets when meeting a newborn from the hospital is not recommended, because flowers can cause allergies in a baby. And cakes and other sweets, in turn, are not relevant for a nursing mother.

Diaper cake or a bouquet of baby things will delight both the mother of the baby and all loved ones. After all, this is the optimal combination of solemnity, practicality and usefulness of a gift. And most importantly - no one else will have such a gift, because. you made it with your own hands.

But before you buy diapers and start making a "cake", be sure to directly or indirectly find out which diaper brand your parents prefer - then use it.

Making cupcakes from diapers.

A small and original gift that can be easily made in a few minutes!

Used only 6 pcs. diapers of the smallest size. All sorts of things were also needed, such as pieces of paper for cupcakes, ribbons, a box, jewelry, paper weed, an adhesive gun, stationery gum.

We take a diaper, unfold and fold along

We twist it into a tube and put on a clerical gum. We twist six cylinders. From one end you should get a neat spiral

Now we wrap each cylinder with a ribbon and glue the ends (I use hot glue). We remove from under the elastic bands

Now we put each cylinder into a piece of paper, insert the decoration into the center and pack it in a box. The gift is ready.

How to make a diaper bike.

This bike is not big, 36 diapers were used to make it.

We will need: two thin diapers, one bottle, one pair of socks, a wide satin ribbon, four small flowers, wire, a needle and thread and one small towel for a bicycle saddle (can be replaced with another diaper or two bibs)

We take a pack of diapers and divide them into three parts: two equal ones (for the rear wheels) and one larger one (for the front wheel). We twist them into wheels with the help of a can inserted inside. We will get three wheels from diapers. For beauty and better stability, wrap them with a wide tape, glue the ends of the tape.

We twist two thin diapers into thin dense tubes, put stationery rubber bands on the ends. Now we push both tubes into the middle of the front wheel from the diapers. One of the diapers will be the steering wheel, we lift it up and tie it. The second tube will connect the whole structure together, its ends are pushed from the outside into the middle of the two rear wheels from the diapers. Between the wheels, twist both ends of the diaper well with wire and slide the rear wheels towards each other. All! The main structure is ready, now it's up to the decoration.

We unbend the steering wheel as it should, put on children's socks at the ends. The folded diaper is quite stiff and holds its shape well. If the steering wheel still falls, then before twisting the diaper, you can put the wire inside and then bend it as you need. So that the diaper wheels do not roll and the “saddle” does not move out, you can fasten them together with a satin ribbon with a few stitches. The front paws of the teddy bear are also desirable to be sewn through with a couple of stitches to the steering wheel. Sew not too hard, so that later it can be easily cut.

Do-it-yourself diaper train.

This train is not big, 36 diapers of the second size were used for its manufacture.

We will need: three thin diapers, one T-shirt, two pairs of socks, wide and narrow satin ribbons, seven small flowers, a needle and thread and one small towel.

We make wheels. We twist three diapers without unfolding into a cylinder. Be sure to put a thin ribbon inside, like a wheel axle, for attaching to the platform (they are not in the photo because I didn’t do it right away, and then it turned out to be very difficult to push the ribbons through). For beauty and better stability, we wrap the cylinders tightly with a wide tape, glue the ends of the tape with a hot gun. We make two wheels in this way, and for the third we take 5 or 6 diapers - it will be under the cab, i.e. it will carry more weight than the others. Make all the wheels as tight as possible, otherwise, under the weight of the train, they will become not round, but flat.

Similarly, we make a large cylinder in front of the cabin of the train: we twist two cylinders of 3-5 diapers and wrap them together with a diaper.

For the platform, cut out a rectangle measuring 14x25, wrap it with a diaper. We fix the wheels, as in the photo below /

We use all the remaining diapers for the cabin. To do this, we fold them into a rectangle, give them a slightly trapezoidal shape, put on a T-shirt and wrap a diaper around the perimeter /

Now it's up to assembly. We fasten the cab and the large cylinder with thin ribbons (the ribbons are simply passed under the platform and glued with hot glue). The pipe is twisted from one pair of socks and sewn to the ribbon. Another pair of socks is sewn to the cockpit and depicts windows. A small green towel is folded diagonally and the ends are sewn together, it is simply put on the platform in front. The dog is also simply sandwiched between the cab and the cylinder (you can replace it with some kind of picture or pick up a T-shirt with a suitable pattern). For beauty, add flowers.

Attachment to base. I pierce holes in the cardboard base with an awl and through them the entire locomotive is attached to the wheels using wire

How to make a small diaper cake.

This cake is not big, only 22 diapers were used to make it.

We take not a big jar - it will be the center around which I will spin the diapers. We take out 18 pieces from the pack. diapers and start putting them around the jar.

Tie the outside with an elastic band and arrange them evenly, at the same time you can adjust the size of the future cake.

Now we will pull out the jar from the middle, and in its place we will put the three remaining diapers.

We wrap a diaper folded diagonally, fix the ends with a pin. We untie the elastic band and pull it out. To decorate the cake, you can use a small soft or rubber toy. To prevent the toy from moving, a stick is inserted inside. Flowers are inserted along the perimeter between the diapers and sprinkled with paper grass on top. Diaper cake is ready.

Big cake made of diapers and baby clothes.

To make a cake from diapers, we need:

3 flannel diapers
- 1 thin small blanket
- 8 pairs of socks
- 4 baby spoons
- 2 toys
- 100 pieces. diapers
- Round plastic cake stand
- Pink transparent film for wrapping gifts

In addition, the following will be useful in work: clothespins, stationery rubber bands, regular laundry gum, a long thin stick, safety pins.

The size of the cake depends on the number of diapers, on average, it takes 100 pieces to make one cake. You can take three packs with different sizes: one for newborns, one of the first size and one of the second size. If you want a bigger cake, then buy more of a larger size. You can generally make the whole cake from one size - convenient for parents: you won’t have to figure out how to arrange the diapers by size later. For example, from the 2nd size or the 3rd, but definitely not from the 1st and not for newborns (children grow up too quickly, or maybe the child will be born big and he will immediately be size 2 at the right time?). The width and thickness of different sizes differ, but then it is not very noticeable.

Now about the cake floors. Somewhere on the Internet I met such proportions: 1:2:3:4. To be honest, only the first proposition is the same for me, but in general it turns out differently every time. It all depends on the density of the twisting of the diapers, the size and style of the cake. Specifically, in this, each new level differs from the previous one by one ring of twisted diapers, so it turned out to be narrow and high. I made my very first cake from the same number of diapers, but only three tiers - so that there would be a place where to put toys later, so he is a fat man.

I start making a cake from the top level. I always use 7 pieces of diapers on him.

So, we take out the diaper from the pack and, without unfolding it, we turn it into a tube. We start with an elastic band, then we get a neat fold on the side, and if the elastic band is slightly tucked inward, then it will not stick out on the sides. The tube should be quite dense and, so that it does not unwind ahead of time, hook it on top with a clothespin. In total, you need to wind 7 tubes.

Now we put one tube in the middle, and place the remaining 6 around it and put on top of the clerical gum.

We fold the diaper several times, so that its width is exactly equal to the height of the folded diapers. We wrap the tubes with a folded diaper and we have the uppermost level. Attach the edge of the diaper with a safety pin (I use special diapers - they are larger and prettier).

On the next floor, you will need 19 diapers (7 + 12): 7 - for the same cylinder that was done above and 12 - for the outer circle. First, we make the center as written above, fasten it with an elastic band, then slip twisted cylinders under the elastic around the perimeter and form an outer circle. It is better to remove clothespins at the very last turn, otherwise the cylinders tend to unwind at the most inopportune moment. Again we wrap it with a folded diaper and fix the edge. Yes, it is better to fold the diaper diagonally, then the edge for fastening will not be so thick.

43 diapers (7+12+24) were used for the third level. We do everything as in the second level, only on the outside we tie it with a linen elastic band, and not a clerical one, and slip another outer circle under it. It turns out inside - 1, then a circle of 6 cylinders, then of 12 and at the end of 24.

The next level can be continued in the same way as the previous one, just add one more outer contour. It seems too complicated for me, I do it differently: first I cook 3 piles of 7 pieces, then I tie it with an elastic band, insert folded cylinders into empty places, and then I add an outer circle around the perimeter. We wrap the last largest level with a blanket.

Well, now all our floors are ready and we can start decorating. Firstly, if possible, remove the rubber bands from the cylinders, and secondly, now we need a thin stick - we stick it in the center through all the layers - it will keep our structure from shifting. If the cake is not high, then the stick can be replaced, for example, with a wooden spoon. More important point: you need to put a rigid base under the cake, otherwise, when you pack everything, the lower layers may fall apart - a round cardboard will be enough.

For decoration, my choice was not very large: two toys, 4 spoons and socks, so I decided that the socks would be candles. I cut out rectangles from cardboard, put socks on them!

Along the perimeter, for beauty, sprinkled with artificial grass. And voila, your homemade diaper cake is ready!

You can download the video of making beautiful diaper cakes for free. The video, though English language, but there everything is clear and so.

Such a wonderful and original approach to congratulations will give a lot of positive emotions, surprise both the happy mother and all close people. And, therefore, the usual celebration will turn into an extraordinary one, and there will be even more delight and smiles.

And again, for a neighbor's boy, a car made of diapers. The idea was spied on the Internet, but the assembly is my own. Maybe somewhere it could have been done both easier and simpler, but I did it like this :) Maybe someone will have additions to facilitate the process, then you are welcome in the comments :)

So, we need: cardboard, wrapping paper, diapers (2 packs of 58 pieces), ribbons, socks, 2 bottles, blankets or, like my cloth diapers and a diaper. Knife, scotch, rubber bands.

We spread the diaper on the diaper as in the photo and twist it into a tight roller, then fix it with an elastic band. I had 8 diapers. (there is also such an option as to twist each diaper separately and then combine them into one)

Twist these 4 pieces - these will be our wheels.

Now we measure the cardboard and wrap it around. I have 2 cardboard 54x45 and 45x35. At the same time, we try on the wheels on a small cardboard, this will be the bottom of the car :)

Then we lay the smaller cardboard in the middle of the large one and in the places where our wheels will be we make holes through.

The holes are done, we take a large cardboard and thread ribbons into the holes, so we will fix the wheels.

Now we thread the flyers into a small cardboard. Get it like this.

We push the wheels between the ribbons and fasten at the top of a small cardboard. Fasten very firmly.

We put diapers on the resulting chassis. In front we create a "radiator" (or whatever it's called) and headlights, lay the second and third row as you like. And cover with a diaper. Before laying diapers, it is better to put one edge of the diaper already, otherwise it will be like I have difficulties with bending after.

From another diaper we make a "hood".

And lay the next layer "cabin". Arbitrary or like mine. Cover again with a diaper. We twist the other diaper and tie it with ribbons - this will be the "bumper". We insert a folded napkin into the socks to keep the shape and make it easier to fix.

All. We wrap it in cellophane for greater stability and give it as a gift :) Before wrapping, look at the sides of the machine, I only saw folds already in cellophane.

The gifted parents were delighted :)

It’s a pity that the color scheme is not what I wanted, but you can’t run around with a small child in search of a suitable one, I had to use what was found first.

In addition, such a “diaper structure” is being built quite simply, so you can do it yourself. The most important thing is to understand the main principles and come up with beautiful decoration present for a little girl or boy.

Diaper cake: basic nuances and manufacturing rules

As the name implies, the main component of the gift are baby diapers. However, before making a presentation, you need to stock up on other devices, carefully study the size of the baby and the technique of creating a cake. Let's talk about the most important nuances and rules:

Sizes and number of diapers

Diapers are an item that requires careful selection. Before you create a great diaper cake, experts advise paying attention to the size and required amount of these baby hygiene products.

Newborn children should purchase products of the first or second size, as babies grow up very quickly. It is better not to buy size zero diapers, because when you open the package (and this is required), they may break sterility.

Create a combo gift of different sizes of diapers to please the mother of the baby. In addition, before purchasing hygiene products, it is better to check with parents which brand of products they prefer to use.

After that, you should decide what the diaper cake will be. If the product design consists of one tier, then no more than 22 diapers will be required. If the cake will consist of two tiers, you need to buy at least 50 diapers. The largest products consist of 100 hygienic devices.

In addition to the diapers themselves, to make a cake, you will need other important materials and fixtures that will help assemble and fasten the entire structure.

So, in advance, acquire attributes such as:

Before purchasing the necessary attributes, create a cake project. This will allow you to purchase really necessary things that will be at hand in the process of making a gift.

To make a diaper cake for a newborn with your own hands, you need to follow certain rules, which, first of all, relate to hygiene standards:

In order for the diaper cake to survive transportation, it must be properly packaged. The cover will not only prevent the loss of shape, but also eliminate the staining, dusting of the gift. In addition, beautiful packaging will emphasize the solemnity of the moment and create a festive mood.

The safest packaging materials are film used in flower shops or wrapping paper. The finished cake is placed in a double layer of film, tied with a ribbon, decorated with a bow. It turns out very attractive and hygienic.

Diaper cakes for girls and boys

Creating a gift largely depends on who it will be addressed to. Of course, the "girl's" cake will be different from the "male" colors, additional accessories and the general idea. But the form itself is usually the same - one-, two- or three-tiered design, reminiscent of a birthday cake.

According to tradition, gifts for girls are distinguished by more delicate colors, feminine accessories and the presence of numerous cute details. But more about everything.

Usually, ribbons, diapers and other decorative elements of bright or, on the contrary, delicate shades are used for little princesses: beige, pink, lilac, fawn, yellow, etc.

• touching details will be all kinds of ruffles, frills, bows. Such elements not only signal the gender of the child, but also give the diaper cake a resemblance to a real confectionery;
• in addition, the gift can be decorated with such typically girly accessories as butterflies, flowers, ribbons, beads. Butterflies and flowers will also emphasize the season in which the newborn baby was born;
• Another type of jewelry that is suitable for little beauties is all kinds of plush bunnies and bear cubs, baby dolls and dolls. You can also place tiny socks or booties on the cake.

In general, you can decorate a diaper cake for girls in completely different ways. Floral, doll details, various ribbons and bows are welcome.

Designs from diapers for young gentlemen differ from girlish gifts, first of all, by their conciseness and a certain “seriousness”. All kinds of ruffles, bows and frills are excluded. How to decorate men's cakes?

It is best to use "brutal shades": blue, blue, green. Usually if a child is born in autumn-winter period, then the color is selected lighter and softer.

• traditionally boyish game devices become decorative elements: cars, locomotives, ships, balls, airplanes. Some craftsmen even make cakes in the form of cars or boats;
• in addition, you can decorate the present with clothes (socks, hats, diapers, sliders), hygiene products (creams, shampoos, powders) and other children's accessories.

Thus, differences are observed only in the decor of the gift, but they usually take a single or multi-tiered design as the basis. However, if you really want to impress the mother of a young gentleman, then try making a train out of diapers. Of course, this will require more time and skill, but delight and gratitude are provided.

Look at the newborn on the nose? Can be crafted the simplest option diaper cake, consisting of a minimum number of basic and additional parts. Naturally, do not forget to decorate the product to emphasize your positive attitude towards mom and baby.

To create a "masterpiece" you need to prepare the following materials:

• diapers (size "1" or "2") - 11 pieces;
• a diaper of a bright shade;
• wide satin ribbon;
• narrow ribbon (these are used in flower shops);
• scissors;
• tray or thick cardboard;
• various decorative elements to your taste;
• bright natural fabric.

Making a single-layer cake from diapers is very simple. One diaper is rolled up, tied with a ribbon and placed in the center of the cardboard. This is the basis from which the circle of other hygiene devices will go.

Around this central element, diapers are placed so that the "sun" comes out. Pampers are installed edgewise, one side of them is sent to the first roll. Outwardly, it resembles a kind of sunlight.

With very gentle movements, you need to pull off all the diapers with a narrow ribbon to make a cake, while their tips should be directed in one direction. It is important to ensure that when tightening the cake is fixed and does not fall apart.

The last stage is wrapping the structure with a diaper, fixing it with a wide tape. For decoration, you can use any beautiful natural fabric - cotton or linen. This will prevent allergic reactions in children.

This is a classic version of a three-tier diaper design, which, like the previous version, is very simple to prepare. The main thing is to follow the sequence of actions and properly fasten each layer.

You need to prepare the following "ingredients" in advance:

• diapers (different or the same size) - 80 pieces;
• tray or thick cardboard;
• stationery gum - 80 pieces;
• feeding bottle or shampoo;
• powder bottle;
• satin ribbons;
• toys, rattles, baby clothes for decoration;
• sticks or pins for fastening the "floors".

The first cake is prepared in a standard way: 37 diapers are laid vertically on a cardboard or tray, which are twisted into rolls and fixed with elastic bands. A bottle for milk or shampoo is inserted into the center. The whole structure is fastened with a ribbon or elastic band.

Then the second layer is prepared, which will consist of 27 diapers. Rolls of them are formed in the same way as for the previous cake. It is also necessary to insert some kind of jar into the central part - with powder or.

The next step is to make the last layer. For him, 16 diapers are taken, which are installed on the second cake and pulled together with an elastic band. You can fasten the tiers with safety pins so that the structure does not fall apart.

Then proceed to decorate the cake. Depending on the gender of the child, you can take blue or pink satin ribbons. A postcard with the wishes of health and successful development and small necessary things are inserted under the ribbon.

The top of the structure can be crowned beautiful doll or a plush toy, rattles, other plastic hygiene items are laid out on the sides. It will turn out very beautiful, elegant and useful for the whole family.

By appearance this pyramidal design really resembles a cream confection. This effect is created by wrapping each layer with bright and attractive diapers. It turns out very aesthetically pleasing.

For the manufacture of the structure, you need to take the following materials:

For the manufacture of the lower layer, 40 diaper rolls are laid in a circle in the form of a spiral, fastening the initial and final diapers with tailor's needles. A tightly folded blanket or towel is placed in the center. The entire structure is fastened for fidelity with an elastic band.

Then you need to decorate the resulting diaper cake with “cream”. To do this, the film is folded across the width of the diapers, wrapped around the layer and fastened with needles. This must be done carefully so that the design looks aesthetically pleasing.

The next layer is prepared from 30 diapers laid out in rolls around a bottle of s. Pampers are fixed with tailor's needles and rubber bands. "Cream" from the diaper decorate the outer side of the cake.

The topmost layer consists of 20 diapers. It is made in the same way as the two previous cakes. The main difference is the number of hygiene devices used.

Rattles are taken to decorate the cake, small toys, which are placed on the "steps". Also, parents will need such hygiene devices as nipples, cotton buds, bottles for milk or water, jars of cream or powder. Booties can be placed on top of the structure.

In addition to diapers, small towels can also be used to make such designs. They are folded in exactly the same way - into peculiar cylinders. Naturally, before “installing” the diaper cake, you need to wash your hands and prepare all the necessary materials.

To make this type of diaper cake, you need to take:

In the center of the structure will be a roll of paper towels. Three rows of diapers rolled into cylinders and tightened with rubber bands line up around him. This whole structure must be tightly pulled together with a wide and dense elastic band.

The next layer is prepared from the remaining diapers, which are again placed around a roll of paper towels in two rows. The resulting cake is fixed with an elastic band, making sure that the structure is not too tight.

The top cake is made from towels that are rolled up like diapers. It is best to take colored accessories so that you can alternate them. Between the layers you need to insert a few sticks to secure the structure.

All tiers are wrapped in bright satin ribbons, the ends of which are fastened with adhesive tape. Installed on the top of the product teddy bear or dolls, and on the "steps" - pacifiers, children's things or a variety of toys.

The viewing of a newborn child is a serious event, so many people prefer not to take risks and not rely on their own imagination, but to use the services of experienced professional needlewomen.

Today, diaper cake services offer many models of similar designs. Such non-edible products are made both according to a standard template and according to the individual design of the customer.

The ingredients for making a diaper cake can be either from the manufacturer or purchased and brought by you personally. In the latter case, the price will be lower, in addition, you will know for sure that all materials are of high quality.

How much will you have to pay for a ready-made diaper cake? Its cost will depend on the following factors:

• price of materials;
• product size;
• cake design;
• the urgency of making a gift.

In general, you can order and purchase such a design from diapers for 1800 - 4800 rubles. Most expensive options consist of five tiers, decorated not just with ribbons and bows, but with strollers, steering wheels and diaper cars. Like original present will be remembered for a long time by parents and the hero of the occasion.

Summing up

A diaper cake is a bright and original gift for the bride of a newborn baby or for a baby to be discharged from a maternity hospital. Many people believe that it is impossible to make such a design with their own hands, but they are mistaken.

There are numerous master classes on the Internet in which craftsmen explain in detail and simply how you can create such products at home. On forums and websites, you can also find photos with exemplary models of structures.

If you follow the detailed algorithm, then you yourself will be able to make a truly unique present that your parents and relatives will definitely like.

So that efforts and materials are not wasted, you need to remember a few important rules:

1. Buy diapers only from reputable brands. It is better to take hygienic devices of the first and second sizes, as the child grows quickly.
2. A solid cardboard should be placed under the cake, which will allow you to create a really solid structure that will not collapse when carried.
3. Don't make very tall cakes yourself. Maximum - three tiers, if you make an excessively large structure, it can fall apart.
4. Wash your hands thoroughly before making a cake. Fabric materials are ironed, and plastic toys or hygiene items are disinfected.
5. If imagination or skill allows, try to create not just a multi-tiered cake, but a real masterpiece in the form of a stroller, boat, car, etc.
6. The finished product must be packaged to prevent contamination and dust.
7. Be sure to take a picture of the resulting product, you can even with the hero of the occasion (if parents allow). Children grow up very quickly, but such a memory will allow you to return to an important day again and again.

It may seem to you that it is extremely difficult to make such a “work of art”, but this is absolutely not the case. A diaper cake will allow not only to please loved ones, but also to spend your free time yourself. Be sure that by making such a gift, you will experience a lot of pleasure, and the baby's parents, to whom you hand your creation, will receive not only a set of things necessary in the first days of the baby's life, but also a whole bunch of positive emotions. So go for it!

In search creative ideas for a gift to a newborn, we increasingly began to turn to manual labor. At the same time, it is important to make a present in a short time, because in the modern rhythm of life it is always lacking. In this case, a gift from diapers can help out, which everyone can do, regardless of their creative abilities.

Peculiarities

A product for a newborn made of diapers can be called a special gift. It is always different, because it is given a certain shape, specific accessories and improvised materials are used. At the same time, in most cases, the work does not take much time, and the finished result looks professional and quite impressive. Such gifts are memorable, the baby's parents often take pictures of them together with their child as a keepsake.

You can use various little things that are sure to come in handy for the baby or caring for him. Basically, these are items of small size and weight. In addition to the diapers themselves, you can choose to create creative gift hygiene products and even clothing. That is why the gift should be called useful: in most cases, there are few elements in it that will remain idle after unpacking.

Depending on the gender of the child, you can create a product for a boy or a girl, decorating a gift with ribbons of the desired color. In addition, you can select gift items in the desired color scheme.

It is also important to note that diaper gifts are not limited in the choice of shades. Therefore, you can experiment, fulfilling the creative task set for yourself.

A diaper gift must comply with a number of specific requirements. Here, more than anywhere else, cleanliness and cleanliness of the workplace are important. Despite the fact that the gift is made by hand, ready product must meet safety standards. Whatever its shape and size, the product must be packed in a film, taking into account hygiene standards. Everything you can, you need to purchase in sealed packages.

Execution rules

Despite the fact that an unusual present is prepared at home, the execution process must obey certain rules.

• It is important to create the most clean conditions not only for the workplace: it should be clean in the whole room, it is unacceptable for dust or tobacco smoke to walk around it and settle on the elements of the future gift. In addition, gloves can be used during operation. If it is performed without them, they wash their hands without fail, and several times during the execution.
• The workplace is covered with a film to ensure maximum cleanliness. Pampers are placed on it, they are twisted exclusively from the front side, in no case are they turned inside out, and in general they try to touch less often and only on business. Diapers will not undergo further heat treatment, it is important to understand this. However, all other items (e.g. ribbons, diapers) that will be part of the gift must be processed (if they provide for it).

• With regards to the size of diapers, you can stop at the "deuce". Too large options are not needed, as well as small ones that may not initially suit the baby. In order not to doubt the choice, you can ask your mother which diapers she trusts more. Considering that a gift from diapers is given not earlier than an extract, the giver always has time to buy the right kind.
• The décor used for the gift must be new and clean. It is strictly forbidden to use sharp and fragile objects for the manufacture, as well as decor that can crumble and fall into the inside of the diapers. In addition, you cannot create crafts using parts that can color assembly elements when touched.

Corrosive paint can be harmful to sensitive skin baby.

• Regardless of your financial capabilities, you need to make a sustainable product. Therefore, it is better to impress not with size, but with shape. For example, multi-tiered structures are not needed, since they do not hold well, and sometimes even fall apart without falling into the hands of happy parents. In addition, you need to understand: not every mother uses diapers for a child every day, and some of them may remain unclaimed, because children grow very quickly in the first months of life.
• Small diapers can rub delicate skin legs. In addition, it is worth considering the model of diapers, because the same panties seem more comfortable to many, while it is Velcro that often injures the skin when the baby dangles its legs.

• As for the pattern on diapers, it is just not fundamental. It is much more important that the diaper does not rub the skin and does not squeeze the baby's genitals. Of course, you can pay attention to the colors, but this is only when the pattern can be seen after folding or folding.
• As for the decor that craftsmen usually use when making candy bouquets or analogues with toys, it will not work here. Neither beads nor artificial flowers are to be used here. And it's not an aesthetic point of view: a trifle can get inside and go unnoticed by the mother, but taken by the child. Flowers can break, and therefore some branches or decor of the centers can also get inside the diaper.

If there is no other way, you need to check the decorative elements for strength. With regards to beads, it is worth taking note: this is a taboo without exception. As for sticks or skewers, they can be used, but each must be carefully examined so that there are no notches on it that can cause splinters in the future.

If desired, you can replace them with clothespins, fixing some little things directly on them. By choosing elements of different shades, you can decorate the product. At the same time, there is no doubt that clothespins will remain unused in everyday life.

What will be required?

As a rule, the basis of the foundations are the diapers themselves. They are different: from the brand of the manufacturer and model, ending with the size. In order for the product to definitely come in handy, as mentioned above, you can buy a “two” or even a “three”.

In any case, the mother uses them, putting the baby on a walk or visiting a pediatrician.

In addition to diapers, it is important to use items that will be in demand in caring for a child. For example, these include:

• teethers;
• towels of different shades;
• textile diapers (terry, flannel);
• bibs, bottles, breast pump;
• rattles, the first combs;
• paper towels in rolls;
• caps, booties, socks, scratches;
• creams, powders, oils for massage;
• disinfectants;
• wet wipes;
• small spoons, plates;
• knitted hats;
• jumpers and blouses.

In addition, you need to prepare and fasteners. For example, at work you may need wooden clothespins, chopsticks for sushi, stationery gum large and standard sizes. It is rare that a product is complete without a base, which is used as a thick cardboard. They also make hangers from it, which are later decorated with socks or booties.

You may also need sticks from rolls of food foil or film. They are used as a base so that the tiers of crafts can hold on to something. Depending on the type of product, scissors, plates may come in handy. different size, less often - a thermal gun and paper templates. Usually they are used to give an identical shape to hangers.

What can't be used?

No matter how much you want to stand out and present a super-unusual gift, you can’t decorate a present with rhinestones, stick sparkling stones to ribbons, or pin hairpins. In addition, you can not make a bottle of champagne the basis of a gift.

Firstly, it is initially dirty, and secondly, it can break. Thirdly, you need to understand what is children's gift. If you want to definitely give champagne, this can be done separately. It has nothing to do with the children's theme of the presentation.

As for toys, it is undesirable to decorate a diaper gift with toys with a large pile. We must not forget that the baby, like his parents, can be prone to allergies, which can be provoked by a harmless children's toy.

If you really want to give something useful and beautiful, let it be rubber toys for the bathroom. They will definitely come in handy for the little ones. He can crush them in his hands and gnaw them, not being afraid that the pile will get into his mouth. If you think you need it soft toy, try to choose a product with a short pile or fleece.

Getting started, do not try to use a stapler, as is customary with some craftsmen. It is important to remember that these harmless staples can fall off, and this is unacceptable.

The safety of the child must come first. As for the paper for making, it should be dense, because any piece torn off and unnoticed may end up in the mouth of the crumbs. Even a temporary substrate for the product must be prepared correctly, it is better to fix the necessary elements with hot glue than with a stapler.

How to turn?

Today, there are a lot of master classes through which you can easily make a beautiful and spectacular gift for a newborn. In this case, diapers can be rolled up in three ways:

• roll, starting from the inguinal region to the belt;
• laying out in a row on the table with the imposition of one on top of the other;
• using a round bowl, inserting diapers into it edgewise, then gathering them together with an elastic band.

Elastic bands are needed mainly for fixing diapers. Wherein larger size used to support a large circle collected from diapers. The smaller ones fix each of them separately when it needs to be rolled up. Sometimes round blanks do not have a core, in other cases the basis of the craft is a roll of paper towels or a tall feeding bottle.

Can be combined various ways folding, if this does not affect the stability of the product. The method of folding on the table with the application of diapers is convenient and fast, because in this case they are simply rolled up. By the way, you can also use some kind of core. The base in the center will allow you to roll up the desired element of the craft faster and more accurately.

How to do it yourself?

Consider the 7 most interesting diaper gift ideas, step by step describing the implementation of each of them. All of them are quite simple and feasible for everyone.

Cake

Making a diaper cake for newborns is not difficult. It can be small, single-tier or consisting of three tiers. The option will depend on the possibilities of the budget, because diapers are not cheap, as is the total amount spent on other components of the gift. You can assemble a small and simple version of the cake. Let's take a look at this original product.

To make it, you need to prepare 90 diapers and the same number of small ones. rubber bands. In addition, three large rubber bands, a roll of paper towels, 10 small face towels, decorative tape, double-sided tape, cardboard or a ready-made dish stand, small toys and useful decor (at your discretion).

By the way, for the substrate, you can try to use a large book for kids.

The assembly process will consist of a number of sequential steps:

• the workplace is covered with a film or treated with an antiseptic;
• each diaper is rolled up and secured with an elastic band;
• prepare a stand, mark the center and connect it with a small drop of hot glue to the base roll of paper towels;
• three rows of roll diapers are placed around the paper towel roll;
• achieving more or less round shape, they are connected with a large rubber band;
• the second tier of the cake is formed in a similar way, only instead of three rows of diapers, rolled towels are surrounded by two rows;
• small multi-colored towels are folded and a third tier is formed from them, setting them around a rolled towel;
• the upper tier is fastened with a rubber band;
• elastic bands are masked with satin ribbons, connecting them with either bows or glue;
• a toy is seated upstairs and the base is decorated with useful little things that can be useful to a child in the first year of life;
• the gift is wrapped in a transparent film and tied with a beautiful ribbon.

In order not to suffer with the packaging of the finished product, a transparent gift film can be immediately laid on the work area. Even if it moves a little during the work, it is still easier to pack the craft than to lift it and install it. All the elements necessary for the work can be placed on the second part of the table.

Bouquet

It is not difficult to create an original gift in the form of a bouquet. To do this, you need to prepare the diapers themselves, elastic bands for attaching them, wooden skewers for barbecue (sushi sticks), a vase, wrapping paper. In addition, a variety of socks, bibs, baby care shampoos, or even powder can come in handy. This option can be enriched with ribbons, nipples, rattles. The technique for making such a product is even simpler than making a cake:

• put a skewer in each diaper and wrap it in a roll, slightly opening the edge;
• it is fixed with a standard clerical gum not in the center, but closer to the bottom edge so that the gum is not visible in the finished product;
• they take paper and mask the internal contents of the vase, because diapers sticking out on sticks will not look beautiful;
• prepared "flowers" can be decorated with thin paper, creating the effect of foliage;
• then they are placed in a vase and wrapped in a film.

Inserting sticks after rolling diaper rolls is undesirable, because they can simply pierce diapers, and this is unacceptable.

As for variations, a vase for stability can be filled or created from shampoo, cream, powder and other bottles. Considering that even an ordinary plastic container can come in handy on the farm, you can pick up something similar.

Basket

This gift is convenient because it allows you to accommodate a lot of functional items that will be useful for the baby. The size in this case will depend on the number of diapers, although a large basket will not be practical, given that its handle will be more decorative than functional. For such a product, you need to prepare thick cardboard (for the bottom), diapers themselves, threads white color, a satin ribbon 5 cm wide. For filling, you need useful little things of small weight (nipples, bottles, scratches, socks, booties, bibs).

Depending on the complexity of the work and the presence of certain details of the craft, the scheme step-by-step execution will look something like this:

• cut out the bottom of the future basket from thick cardboard;
• it can be disguised openwork napkin by fixing it with glue;
• taking several diapers, they are connected with an elastic band, slightly shifting the diapers in both directions;
• the walls of the basket are formed from diapers, setting them up with a dense wall and putting one into the other for greater strength;
• you can attach the sides in two or three places to the cardboard base;
• two diapers without fastening are placed on the bottom, covering the very bottom with them;
• diapers are fastened with a large rubber band;
• a handle is cut out of cardboard, wrapped with two diapers, fixed with a thread;
• the handle is inserted between the diapers into the sides;
• along the edge, a basket with an elastic band is masked with paper or a ribbon with a large bow;
• the product is filled with useful little things and packed in a transparent film.

For greater reliability, you can tie the sides not with tape, but with a diaper folded diagonally. So the product will be not only beautiful, but also durable. By the way, it is with diapers that you can replace the napkin in the process of forming the bottom. Approximately according to the same principle, you can create a bath craft. In this case, the only difference from the basket will not be a solid handle, but only a part of it, imitating a water tap.

Owl

You can create this wonderful gift from just forty diapers. In addition to them, you will need socks for newborns, a diaper, a handkerchief, elastic bands, a small bib. In addition, craftsmen prefer to use ready-made flowers for this product.

Since such decor is not always durable and reliable, it can be replaced with the same socks folded into roses.

Perform an owl according to the following scheme:

• take 20 diapers and roll the body of a bird out of them in the shape of a circle;
• the circle is fixed with a large rubber band;
• eyes are made from the remaining diapers, rolling 10 pieces into circles by applying one element to another;
• eyes are fixed with rubber bands;
• a bib is placed on top of the torso, eyes are substituted and three circles are tied with a satin ribbon;
• the diaper is folded into a strip with a width equal to the width of the diapers;
• the resulting strip from the diaper is applied strictly in the center between the eyes, thus forming the outline of the head and wings;
• diaper fasten thin tape in the neck of the future owl;
• a nose is made from a handkerchief and inserted between two eyes;
• using double-sided tape, fasten the flowers, imitating the eyes;
• with adhesive tape, you can also attach ears, which can be used as socks.

There is another option for creating ears. To do this, you can use cardboard, cut out a kind of hanger, put socks on them, insert between the upper edge of the eye and the diaper and bend the ear. In order not to use adhesive tape, you can create ears using cotton diapers.

In the next video, watch a master class on making an owl from diapers.

Snail

The basis of such a gift will be a circle made of diapers. Its size may vary, although the reliability of the product must be taken into account. The larger it is, the easier and faster it can fall apart, falling into the hands of the baby's mother.

On the other hand, the snail is convenient in that it may take not so many diapers to make it. Each option will turn out different, and therefore we will focus on an approximate basic method of execution. unusual gift. In addition to the main material, a sock and a synthetic winterizer will be needed in the work.

Step-by-step instruction In this case, it will consist of a number of steps:

• according to the standard scheme, they create rolls of diapers and fix each of them with their own elastic band;
• take 6-7 blanks and surround them with another one, which is the center of the snail's house;
• after fixing one row increase right size shellfish;
• the elastic bands with which each roll was fixed are removed as the volume increases;
• the finished "house" is tied with a satin ribbon;
• create two small circles of diapers, tie them with a wide satin ribbon;
• a synthetic winterizer is inserted into the sock (diapers can be optional), forming a wider part for the head;
• create a muzzle of a snail (if you have time, you can embroider or glue a thermal application in advance);
• a large circle is placed on a cardboard substrate with an edge, a stand-leg is placed next to it in the form of a small circle;
• the second leg is placed in front, you can connect it with a ribbon to the body of the snail;
• the finished craft is packed in a transparent film and tightly tied with a bow.

Since this craft involves the use of small parts, you can do it differently. For example, you can use not a sock in your work, but a worm or snake toy. In this case, there will be no need to use small elements to create a muzzle. Antennae, on the other hand, can be created from textiles by stuffing it with synthetic winterizer.

Ship

For this craft, accessories are of great importance. It is due to them that you can create the desired mood even in the absence of additional useful little things. For work, it is worth preparing diapers, ribbons, elastic bands, socks.

It is advisable to select ribbons and objects with a characteristic marine color. In addition, in the work you can use a cardboard tube and a plastic container, which in the future can also be useful to the mother of the baby.

An approximate technique for creating a ship from diapers will be as follows:

• useful household items for the baby (nipples, socks, bibs, a spoon, a teether, stroller toys) are placed in the container and the lid is tightly closed;
• they begin to form a ship according to the principle of a two- or three-tiered cake;
• a large elastic band is pulled over the container;
• diapers are rolled up and inserted between the elastic band and the container;
• to form the nose of the ship, more diapers are inserted on its front;
• using baby towels, close the side face of the diapers;
• towels are fixed with a wide satin ribbon;
• form the second tier, fastening it in a couple of places with double-sided tape so that the ship does not fall apart;
• tie the second tier with a beautiful ribbon;
• a cardboard pipe is wrapped with sliders or small towels;
• the product is decorated with felt anchors and a steering wheel;
• for the upper edge, you can use chopsticks for sushi, creating with them, as well as with twine, the illusion of a fence;
• the product is packed.

In order not to suffer with adhesive tape, you can follow the proven path and use a roll of paper towels or a tall bottle (shampoo, powder) to fasten all tiers of the ship. There can be many options, so you need to choose the one that suits your particular case. The stick will allow you to connect all the tiers, it will strengthen the finished product, which cannot be said about adhesive tape.

In addition, it is easier to remove the stick than to remember that there is tape in the craft, which must be removed as the diapers are used.

Car

It is impossible to ignore the favorite gift for a boy - a car. Of course, the baby is unlikely to remember such a gift, but parents will certainly note that the master even took into account the gender of the baby. For manufacturing, you should take care of the presence of diapers, cardboard, wrapping paper, satin ribbons, socks for newborns, a couple of bottles, diapers or cloth diapers, stationery gum and adhesive tape.

First, wheels are made by twisting 8 diapers into tight rollers and fixing them with rubber bands of the usual size. You can work using another technology: first twist each diaper, then connect several pieces into a circle and fasten with a large elastic band. The first method is convenient in that it does not require extra work and allows you to create a clearer shape of the wheels of the car.

Two rectangular blanks are made from cardboard and wrapped around each of them. wrapping paper. Place the smaller rectangle on top of the larger one. Through holes are made in the approximate locations of the wheels. Satin ribbons are threaded through these holes for attaching wheels.

Then, between two cardboard layers, round rollers-wheels are placed. Next, on a substrate of a smaller area, which will be located on top, put first a diaper, and then diapers without any folding. However, they need to be laid, at least approximately forming the outlines of the machine.
