Take a await at the link and let the states know if this is something you tin do!". Umm, can you say bait and hook? What D.I.Y. gal do yous know who will pass on a Challenge like that? Well played girls! I was excited to brand a tricycle diaper cake, especially since information technology was for some other good friend of ours!

One of my friends from the email had specific modifications that had to be made to the original design. I assured her that I could pull information technology off to make the best Tricycle Diaper Cake centerpiece our expecting mom had ever seen…however, I didn't know this even existed before that day.

How To Make A Tricycle Diaper Block

When you lot're putting together a tricycle diaper block, recall, there are NO RULES! JUST GUIDELINES! I searched a few tutorials and made it my ain. Here's what I learned in the process…

STEP 1: Tricycle Diaper Cake – Making the Wheels

The wheels are the main backbone to this piece so y'all want to make sure all three are sturdy with this four footstep process.
i) Place newspaper towel whorl or toilet newspaper curlicue in eye of your baking pan (the whorl will help go along a perfect circle in the center of the wheel which is needed once you brainstorm associates).
2) One at a time, add almost 20 diapers to the pan, each one overlapping almost an inch.Make an 'Due south' shape, tucking the beginning diapers into the middle wrapping around the toilet paper roll so the latter diapers remain on the outside. (The baking pan will help shape the wheel into a perfect circle.)iii) Once complete, take large rubber band and wrap it around all the diapers in the pan. Adjust the diapers, if necessary, so they announced perfectly apartment.
4) Gently flip pan upside down to release the diaper wheel, pulling on the inside of toilet paper roll if needed to become the unabridged wheel out.

STEP ii: Tricycle Diaper Block Tire Assembly

ane) Encompass newspaper towel roll with ribbon. It will be used to connect & stabilize the two back wheels.
ii) Measure and and so cover the rubber band on each tire with thick polka-dot ribbon. To make sure it'southward secure yous can place a few pieces of double sided tape along the rubber band. I also used my mucilage gun to seal both ends of the ribbon to one another.
3) Accept two of the wheels and insert the covered paper towel roll into each terminate.
4) Identify the third bike in between the ii you have but connected.
five) Cutting a piece of the thin white curling ribbon and insert information technology between the two dorsum tires, essentially going through the newspaper towel roll. Take each terminate and pull it through the front tire, crossing ane over the other. Pull each terminate tight and pull them above the top of the tire and tie information technology into a bow.

Footstep 3: Tricycle Diaper Cake Handlebar Associates

1) Roll upward receiving coating and insert through front wheel. (Receiving blanket will act as handlebar)
two) Identify one bib over the front tire with velcro portion facing the back. (Bib will act as puddle guard)
3) Place the canteen on meridian of the bib, with the nipple facing the back wheels (canteen will human action as headlight). Pull both ends of the receiving blanket up over the bottle and secure with a condom band. I as well put prophylactic bands on both ends of the receiving blanket to keep the handle bars from unraveling as I worked.
4) Add the 2d bib over the canteen and employ the neck to secure around the headlight, this volition act every bit seat encompass.
5) Lastly, take the babe socks and place over the ends of the receiving blanket to deed as handle bars and utilize the backlog polka-dot ribbon and tie a bow in the center which will too cover the rubber band higher up the canteen.

Voilà! It's complete!

Since this was going to be the centerpiece at the baby shower, one of my friend's modifications was to place a teddy comport on tiptop. I added a little ribbon effectually his and he looked super beautiful! Then I realized I had actress diapers, so I added a little backpack filled with the extras so it looks like he rode into the shower begetting gifts…no pun intended! HA! Annotation: I used a pink newspaper dejeuner bag I had in my box of tricks to brand the backpack and added some stickers to it.
