Step-by-Step Guide: How to Make a Stunning DIY Diaper Wreath
Here’s a detailed step-by-step guide on how to make a DIY diaper wreath:
Total Time: 45 minutes
Start with the Wreath Form and Secure the First Diaper
Grab one of the opened diapers and place it around the wreath form, with the open end facing outward. This will create the “flower” shape of your wreath.
Use a piece of thin ribbon to tie the diaper closed around the wreath form. Make a tight knot to hold it in place.
Continue Adding Diapers to Wreath Form
Repeat the process with the remaining diapers, placing them next to each other around the wreath form. Overlap them slightly to cover the previous diaper’s edges.
Secure each diaper with a ribbon tie as you go. Make sure they are evenly spaced.
Start by Forming a Complete Circle
Begin by attaching diapers all the way around your wreath frame. Keep adding diapers until your wreath looks full and lush!
Add Your Personal Touch to the Wreath
Now for the fun part – decorating! This is where you get to be creative. Think about adding a cardstock medallion with a sweet message. A pretty ribbon bow tied at the top can add a classy touch. On my wreath, I included baby socks, little shirts, and travel-sized baby products.
