It is customary to come to visit with a gift. It symbolizes respect and good attitude towards the owner of the house. Guests are invited for a variety of reasons: on holidays, on a birthday, on the occasion of a special event in life, or just to chat over a cup of tea. You can bring a regular cake to tea, and choosing a gift for the celebration is much more difficult. Here it is necessary to take into account not only interests, but also the wishes of the hero of the occasion. And what if you were invited to visit on the occasion of the birth of the baby? Who should give a present to parents or a little toddler who sleeps peacefully in a crib and does not suspect why it is so noisy and fun around?
Most often, different sizes of clothes for a child or toys are brought as a gift. More practical guests carry mountains of bottles and soothers or baby food. Of course, all this will come in handy over time for the child, but it looks somehow ordinary. Such gifts are usually received with joy, but without much enthusiasm. And how every guest wants his gift not only to be necessary, but also to make a real sensation! There is an exit.
Everything is known that in the first years, every child really needs disposable diapers. This hygiene item has firmly entered our lives, and now it is difficult to imagine a baby who never wore this western miracle in childhood. You can give your parents a whole package or even two, but this is somehow not too romantic. But if you call your imagination to help, you can make a whole design in the form of a cake from ordinary diapers. Outwardly, it will look like a real
confectionery, but it should not be eaten. Many do not know how to make a “cake” from diapers. In fact, it is quite simple and does not require much time. It is better to ask knowledgeable people how to make a “cake” out of diapers. Those who at least once tried to build such a miracle will never forget the technique of its construction. First you need to stock up with the necessary items and materials, and only then begin work, which takes place in several stages:
- The design is made in the form of a cake, so for convenience and greater effect, it is better to install it on a special stand. You can buy such a thing in any hardware store.
- It is necessary to determine how many tiers this unusual "cake" will have, and then, based on the height and volume, buy the right amount of diapers. If they are simply stacked on a dish, there will be no effect. Therefore, the "cake" is made in the form of a pyramid, gradually tapering up. In order for the pyramid to be stable and not to fall apart, it needs to be built around some kind of solid rod. You can use a bottle of champagne as a rod, because this is still a celebration.
- The secret of how to make a “cake” of diapers is that each diaper must be carefully folded into a tube and firmly fixed. For fastening, you can use rubber bands for money, which are freely sold in office supply stores. The rolls thus obtained should be tightly packed in the cake mold.
- To hide the base of the structure and make it really look like a cake, a layer of diapers needs to be covered with a colored cloth. To do this, we cut out a piece of material from a square a little larger than the diameter of the cake itself, and make cuts in the center to put the fabric on the bottle. We wrap a layer of diapers in the fabric and also tightly fasten with an elastic band. Wrap the finished tier from above with a wide ribbon so that the fastenings are not visible.
- Similarly, we carry out a couple more tiers of smaller sizes. Each of them is alternately put on a bottle. Now the idea of how to make a “cake” out of diapers is basically realized. It remains only to decorate the finished work.
- As decoration, you can use multi-colored ribbons with bright bows, beads, baby supplies or other accessories. And at the top a soft toy will look good.
- Now it remains only to put the structure on the stand - and the “cake” is ready.
Such a "cake" performs two functions at once. Firstly, this is a spectacular gift. Secondly, a lot of things that are sure to come in handy in life: diapers, a toy, and the
cake stand itself
. You can be sure that your gift will not go unnoticed. It will immediately attract the attention of guests and owners of the house. And for a long time you will tell your friends and acquaintances how to make a “cake” of diapers with your own hands. Many will want to have a recipe for an unusual present, so that at the right time they can use it as a win-win option for a gift for young parents for christening or bridegroom. And the hero of the occasion will appreciate your imagination from photographs when he grows up.
Often people believe that things made by themselves are donated by those who do not have money. Rich people prefer to shock everyone with expensive gifts. But sometimes it’s an expensive gift that is unnecessary. It is stored in the house as furniture or redistributed to relatives or friends. But your “delicious cake” will cheer you up and will be remembered for a lifetime. Parents will disassemble it in parts over time, but this will be another benefit of the gift. They will receive a master class on how to make a “cake” out of diapers. In life, such a skill is sure to come in handy. Indeed, in the near future, one of the friends may also invite them to the christening. But then the issue with the gift will be decided in advance.
