| Instructions: |
|
| Step 1. |
Cut 5-inch lengths of the white yarn equal to the number of diapers you have. Roll a diaper, keeping the design in if any, and tie with the yarn. Repeat until all of the diapers are rolled this way. |
| Step 2. |
Stand juice can in the middle of the circular base. Surround the juice can with rolled diapers (this forms the inner circle) and tie the diapers together with the yarn. Surround this inner circle with another circle of diapers. Again, tie with the yarn. These two circles of rolled diapers now make the base tier of the cake. |
| Step 3. |
For the middle tier: put rolled diapers on the top of the base tier and continue surrounding the juice can. The rolled diapers should now completely cover the can. Tie the diapers together with yarn. |
| Step 4. |
The top tier is removable, and sits on top of the juice can. For the top tier: surround a rolled diaper with the remaining diapers, tie them all together with the white yarn. |
| Step 5. |
Using Hugware of your choice, print several rows per sheet of a border you like. Cut into strips and tape them together (overlap the ends) to make a long strip. Make several of these strips. Wrap these strips around each tier, cut the excess and tape the ends where they meet. For this project, each tier is wrapped three times: one strip hides the yarn tying the diapers together, then the other two wrap the top and bottom of the tier. |
| Step 6. |
Fill the juice can with small assorted baby necessities of your choice. |
| Step 7. |
For the topper, print a suitable Hugware image and its flip side on photo paper. Cut and glue the two images back to back, and “sandwich” a Popsicle stick in-between. Stick the topper in the top tier and you’re done! |
