This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Huggies, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HuggiesatKroger http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV
You will need:
- diapers (this Huggies package of Size 4 diapers made 4 roses)
- elastics and rubberbands
- green tulle
- tulle in a color that matches your baby shower
Open up the first diaper. Take one side and roll it. Secure it with clear elastics. It will look like the image above with half the diaper rolled and the other half still flat.
Take the flat half of the diaper and wrap it around the rolled half. This will give you the center of your roses that still has a flat base.
Wrap a second diaper around your center and secure with elastics.
Next add a layer of three diapers with the bottoms up towards the top of the middle of your rose. Secure with elastics.
Fold the outside three diapers in half up towards the top and secure with elastics. Now you have a diaper rose. You can add a layer of four diapers around your outer layer if you want but it isn’t necessary.
How do you decorate with diapers for baby showers?

What a cute idea. I love this and will totally make one the next time one of my sisters in law has a baby.

Ok… this is so clever! I am totally cracking up thinking of myself trying to create this! I picture diapers all over the floor…ripped up… in knots! haha… Great idea and love the creativity!

Great twist on a diaper cake. SO much more feminine too. Perfect for spring baby showers.
Rachel Langer says
Now SOMEONE around here needs to become pregnant because this is the most adorable thing. (I call NOT IT!)
Amanda Love says
I have a friend who makes these for sale. She's rather quite good at them. I won't even bother trying because I just know that I'll be a hot mess. You did a fantastic job and this way they get a good quality diaper in a fashionable presentation.
Rose Sahetapy says
I've never thought diaper can be squeezed like that. Wow.this is very clever idea! It'd make a lovely gift for baby shower.

What a clever and fun idea. I can see a big diaper rose bouquet as the perfect decoration for a spring baby shower.

What a creative idea! These are adorable! My sister-in-law made me a diaper cake when I had my oldest, but I think any gift that includes diapers is a plus!

I like this idea a lot – and it's cuter than the diaper cake. I totally agree, if you're going to buy diapers to make something like this, it's smart to get a nice quality one so the mom to be can use them.
CourtneyLynne says
Omg how cute are these diaper roses?!?! So making these the next time I go to a baby shower!

Super cute idea! I'm sure it makes for a great gift. Thanks so much for sharing your idea with us at Merry Monday.
Tanisha says
Oh what a cute idea! I'm all for gifts that are cute and practical. I can't tell you how many cute outfits I got at my baby shower, but most didn't get used because my son outgrew them so quickly. What I really needed were a couple of dozen baskets of these cuties!! 🙂
