Often we hear how its thought that hot gluing the diapers seems to be a waste because it renders them unusable. I'd like to take the opportunity to share my thought process. I have 5 children, all of which were in diapers for an average of 2 years. So, I can say I have 10 years of diaper changing experience. Three examples of a good quality diaper are: Luvs, Huggies and Pampers. Cheap brand diapers are just that "Cheap"! They don't absorb well, they leak, are poor quality and babies get rashes way easier and quicker when wearing them! I would most definitely see it as a waste to use a good quality diaper, however its hard to view it as such with the cheaper diapers.
Most decorations after a party get thrown out. I like to make my diaper crafts as decorations, displays, gifts, baby decor for nursery and keepsakes. You know that its so cute they wont want to throw it out right away. Eventually it could get tossed, but it doesn't go out without making a memory!
In the diaper cake video, the cake is wrapped with cellophane. These diapers can be reused! and to preserve them and keep them sanitary I like to wrap them. Mom's want something clean going on their newborns. Its true we do, its not my OCD talking! LOL. The diaper castle - the box of diapers are to be used! purchase a good quality diaper. I only buy cheap diapers for the videos to keep costs down. To decorate the outside of your castle use cheap brand diapers. I find them for $6 a package at the dollar store.
Have fun with your baby shower and everything you put into it! Enjoy the celebration and watch Mommy-to-be smile from ear to ear :)![]()
