DIY Diaper Wreath

  I remember a good friend telling me about these and how she could see me making them!  That was a few years ago and many diaper wreaths ago!  This little project is so easy and always the hit of the baby shower!
Isn't it gorgeous!?!?!?  If I can make this, you can too!
 
   The supplies I use:
~ circular foam probably 1-2 inches (not even sure on the name, at any craft store.  I had a hard time finding them at Wal-mart, etc so I stick to craft stores)
~ diapers (size 2 and up are best)
~ different colored ribbon (cut a bunch of ribbon before you start tieing)
~ scissors
~ toys, etc to tie to the diapers
I start by pulling the diaper around the wreath as tight as possible and tie a ribbon around it, double knot.
 As you add more diapers to the wreath, fluff them so they cover up the wreath completely.




 I've made themed ones as well, ducks are easy to use and any baby toys!  Teething rings, etc!  Lots of things you can tie to the diapers, just make sure they are not too heavy!

 And no matter what, remember to smile!!  :)




 Then once the diapers are all tied on, tie on the toys, etc and then curl all of the ribbon!!  I usually add even more ribbon in a variety of lengths to add a little something to the finished project.


  Super easy and so much fun!  It's also super cute to take a picture of the baby on the wreath!!  
I made this one for a friend at church!!!  Cannot wait to meet little Luke!!
