Baby Shower Decoration: Creating a Diaper Wreath

Want to add a unique and adorable touch to a baby shower? Look no further than a DIY diaper wreath! This charming decoration is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, making it the perfect addition to any baby shower celebration.

Supplies Needed

Here's what you'll need to create your own diaper wreath:

  • Approximately 30-40 newborn or size 1 diapers (disposable)
  • A wire wreath frame or a sturdy cardboard cut into a circle with a hole in the middle
  • Ribbon (1-2 inches wide) for tying diapers and decorating
  • Rubber bands or small string to roll diapers
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks (optional, for securing decorations)
  • Decorative items: bows, baby socks, washcloth flowers, small plush toys, faux flowers, or a personalized name plate
  • Scissors

Detailed Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Use a wire wreath frame for a more durable, open-style wreath, or cut a sturdy cardboard into a ring shape (circle with a hole in the middle). The size is usually about 12-15 inches in diameter.
  2. Roll the Diapers Starting from the waistband end, tightly roll each diaper into a small cylinder. Secure each roll with a small rubber band or string.
  3. Attach Diapers to the Base
  4. If using a cardboard base, glue the rolled diapers side-by-side tightly around the ring to cover the entire cardboard.
  5. If using a wire wreath, open the diapers flat, wrap around the wire frame, and tie them in place with ribbon through the middle to secure. Repeat until the entire frame is covered and fluffy.
  6. Add Ribbon and Decorations Wrap a wide decorative ribbon around the wreath to cover rubber bands or visible edges and tie a bow at the top or bottom. Add small baby items like socks, washcloth “flowers” (rolled and tied washcloths or socks), small plush toys, or faux flowers tucked between diapers. You can place a snuggly or stuffed animal in the middle hole as a cute centerpiece.
  7. Personalize (Optional) Attach a small wooden or cardboard nameplate with the baby’s name on the wreath's front or center for a personalized touch.
  8. Final Touches Make sure everything is secure. Use the hot glue gun to reinforce any decorations or ribbons if desired (avoid gluing diapers directly to keep them usable).

This diaper wreath can be a beautiful decor piece during the shower and afterward as a nursery hanging decoration. This method is straightforward, requires common supplies, and offers customization for any baby shower theme.

Happy crafting!
