Zebra Princess Diaper Cake



I made this diaper cake for display at the craft shows I will be doing BUT am totally willing to sell it if someone asks to buy it on the spot. I have been DYING to make a cake in these colors WITH the zebra stripe ribbon & pink daisies. This would be a perfect piece for on top of the dresser or for a shower done in the same theme. I wish I had a place to actually keep it, that's how much I love it!

Ingredients:
50 Pampers Swaddlers (size 2)
1 pair Trumpette Ballerina socks
1 4" boutique bow (bubble gum pink)
1 3" boutique bow (black)
Plenty of ribbon to be used for scrapbooking after cake is disassembled!



This cake is $60.

Diaper Wreaths



I've been feverishly working on bows, diaper wreaths & several other little things for my very first craft show tomorrow. I had to share the 4 wreaths I completed as I like them very much. I know I've said this before but I am not one to make cheesy wreaths or cakes. I like elegance & simplicity. I think this really shows that. Some like the wreaths & cakes loaded w/ goodies but I rather keep it purdy!

I do include a couple of goodies that happen to match the color scheme, especially on the big wreaths.





11 to 16 Pampers Swaddlers (sz 2) are used. The small wreath is about $17. The larger $25. Customized letters can be added for the baby's initials.

Texas A&M Diaper Cake


Yep, another one. I guess those UT fans aren't quite the fanatics the Aggies are. I had fun making this one. It is different than the last & I have to say that I like the onesie, bib, & booties much better than the last set. They are Adidas. Super cute!

Here is a close up of the top.


And the bottom.


All wrapped up, ready to ship out!

"Bow-quets"

My newest creation! I don't really know what spawned this idea. I've never seen it before anywhere else. I call them "bow-quets" of bows. They are super cute & practical! I think I'm going to sell them. Wouldn't it be cute to deliver this to a new mom in the hospital?

The going rate will be $35 for a bow-quet of 6 3" bows & $40 for a bowquet of 3 3" bows & 4" bows, colors to be chosen by the customer!



I would love any feedback!

Pea in a Pod ~ Perfect for Moms of Multiples!

I had a dear friend ask Sheila & I to come up w/ a pea in a pod design for her triplets. She sent us some ideas that she liked & we ran w/ it. Sheila & I collaborated on the shirt, after several changes, & came up w/ what I think is an absolutely adorable design! This is the PERFECT theme for a first birthday party! It is gender neutral, the only difference being in the bow that we add to the girl pea in a pod, a bow that can be the color of your choosing!

Here is the tutu/shirt combo. Super duper cute!

All 3 shirts together, embroidered w/ their names in "Child's Play" font.


Each individual shirt. The girls' shirts are actually onesies. Notice the cute bow!

Texas A&M Football Bow

I have been experimenting w/ layered bows & decided that Texas A&M colors were going to be my 1st go at it. I gotta say I love the layered, loopy look, maybe not so much for my girls but it is a really pretty bow! I can do this in any color. Match your school colors or favorite college or pro football team. You get to choose whether you want the top bow to match the bottom or get football ribbon instead. This bow is $7.



For just a little less, you can get this bow without the loopy ribbon at $6.50.


I plan on making more bows in different colors. These would be great for cheerleaders!

Blue Bumble Bee Diaper Cake

So, this girl contacted me through Etsy & was wondering if I could get a diaper cake out to her by this coming Saturday. Mind you, she contacted me on Thursday evening & didn't confirm w/ payment until Friday afternoon. Luckily, I had everything on hand. She was interested in something similar to the yellow butterfly cake I had made but w/ blue bumble bees. I think it turned out beautifully! I have been dying to use the blue bumble bees.





The cake is made out of approximately 60 Pampers Swaddlers (size 2). A onesie is hidden in the middle of the cake. A blue bumble bee photo holder is also included.

Regular price w/o premium diapers is $55. With premium diapers it is $65.
