Baby Carriage Made of Diapers?!?

My daughter wanted to make a diaper cake. Looking online, we saw this idea, for making a baby carriage out of diapers and thought it was much cuter.

Our supplies:Dollar Tree
2 receiving blankets
burp cloth
bib
girl puppet

consignment store

fleece blanket
 2 baby duck fleece feet pajamas
pair of booties
1/2 pack size 1 diapers(32)

2 inch wide ribbon
1/4 inch ribbon any color(doesn't show) used to tie the "wheels"

Make the wheels by rolling six diapers. Tie with 1/4 inch ribbon. Put wider ribbon around. We added the wheel hubcaps with the duckies that were cut on the cricut. We used scotch atg gun as the glue will come off the diaper if it sticks to it. We hot glued the wheels on top of the ribbon to a piece of cardboard 12 x 10. It was covered with pretty card stock. 

We made the sides of the carriage from the two receiving blankets. Use safety pins to pin the blankets together end to end.(we had to add ours later)  Put six diapers inside the blanket and fold it so it is a diapers width high.Fold the fleece blanket to the 12 inch length of the side of your carriage. Then roll it from each end towards the middle to make the inside of the carriage. We used atg gun on cardboard to kind of hold things together. Then put the wide ribbon around the outside of edge of the carriage.  I put two open diapers inside the baby pajamas(with the duckies) and just kind of shaped it into the carriage bonnet. We put a matching pajamas on top of the fleece blanket. You can just tuck everything like the arms inside the fleece blanket. We made the pillow by wrapping a diaper with the burp cloth and topping it with a bib.
We added the puppet and the shoes for a final touch, though any stuffed toy would work.


Hope you like this better than the diaper cake! We sure thought it was cute.
