Stroller Cake

So this is the season for showers, not rain showers but baby and bridal showers!

We have 2 baby shower in the next month and a bridal shower so it is time to get crafty with gifts. The one baby shower my mom is going to is a diaper shower, since the girl already has one child, thus most of the stuff she will already need, we are all gifting her diapers!

Only problem is that opening 30 packs for diapers from friends and family is BORING. So we decided to spice it up a bit and give the our present of diapers some character. Here is out diaper stroller!

There are a lot of tutorials on You Tube to make a stroller but we wanted to make sure that a majority of the diapers that we used to make the stroller can actually be used my mom. The one tutorial that we loved the lady really had a thing for the glue gun and glue everything in sight.

It took a bit of creativity to find a way to make a majority of the diapers reusable but we did it! The only ones that are not useable and glued on with a pound of glue are the wheels and the 2 on the back.

Here is our diaper stroller. It was surprising easy and fun to get creative!

 The front of the stroller. We rolled the diapers then place 2 rubber bands (one on top and one on bottom) to hold them in place.

 Rubber bands are ugly so we bought ribbon to cover the bands. We had just enough in one roll to cover all the bands. In order to be able to reuse the diapers we placed a piece of paper underneath the rubber band and glue the 3 things together to avoid getting glue to the diapers.

 The 2 diapers on the back are heavily glued on the box and not useable by mom. The bow looks cute right? It covers a part of cardboard we could not cover with the diapers.

The handle is made out of 4 big Popsicle sticks and I wrapped leftover felt on 2 of them glued together for the part you hold.
