Diaper Cake for Baby Braxton

This is a first in many ways.
1) Never made a diaper cake
2) You know how much I LOVE babies...yikes.
3) Patience and a Deadline.

But my ever-so-adorable coworker asked me if I knew anyone and I went ahead and volunteered. Using scraps of fabric, dowels, cake pans, embroidery machine...The only new thing purchased was the diapers. And did you know diapers give a pungent baby powder smell??!?! My sewing room smells funky.

So those who know me, know I made my own wedding cake. Which I was very proud of at the time.

Using the amazing youtube as my guide...this is what I have so far.

I have little decoration work to do still, gotta get it done by Friday :)

3/19/13 All done with the diaper cake. I hand-stitched a little giraffe for the top, and I loved the little pillow letters that spelled out BRAXTON. I wanted to make a purposeful gift, I hate seeing things thrown out...hopefully they let the little one play with the giraffe and letters. I hope the new mom and baby likes it.
