Homemade Baby Shower Centerpieces
If you've been looking for homemade baby shower centerpieces, then let us look at some easy ways to make them.
- Always ensure that the height of the centerpiece is low enough to allow for easy eye contact and conversation across the table. It should not block the guests from seeing each other.
- Allow enough space around the centerpiece to ensure easy movement and the placement of crockery, cutlery, and glass ware.
- Ensure that the centerpiece is securely stationed and stable, to avoid any accidents.
- About 50 disposable newborn baby diapers
- Clear rubber bands
- Curling ribbon or colored yarn
- 3 round cardboard bases; 12", 9", and 6"
- Strong core securing point - paper towel inner roll or similar
- Baby themed decoration of your choice
- Begin by rolling up the baby diapers and securing them with the clear rubber bands. You can also use ribbon to tie them up and hold them in shape. Many diapers have pretty decorative patterns on the edges - you can choose to display these when you roll. Next, place the 12" cardboard base on a stable surface.
- Place you core piece at the center of the cardboard base, and secure with glue or double-sided tape.
- Using this as the center point, place diapers in a concentric circle, all the way around the core piece and then secure with a ribbon. Continue with the concentric circles till your base is covered (you should need about three) and then tie a broad ribbon band around the outermost layer.
- Place the 9'' cardboard base on top of this layer and secure it firmly to the lower core piece. If you feel the lower base is strong enough, you can do away with the cardboard and begin you next layer without a supporting base. Construct the circle of diapers in the same manner taking care to ensure that you maintain the narrow upper tier effect, the tie another ribbon around the outer edge. Repeat this with the third and final layer.
- Once the basic cake is assembled, you can use all sorts of things to decorate it - place a pair of baby booties on the top, maybe drape a baby blanket along one edge, or surround the base with little rubber ducks and toys. Have fun and be as creative as possible.
