Baby shower - Diaper Cakes
I am interested in a gender-neutral diaper cake for a baby shower.
I
would love it to be "jungle/safari/amazon" themed and have many
necessities (desitin, lotion, shampoo), rattles, onesies, small toys,
pacifiers, and all that stuff!
I don't want it to look sloppy, but I don't want a plain diaper cake with just ribbon and a stuffed animal on top.
Re: Baby shower - Diaper Cakes
You can buy them on Etsy. I looked there for inspiration for one I made--bought 3 sheets from the registry and used those to hold the diapers in place plus shampoo and such built in for structure. Then, I bought wood cutouts from the craft store, painted them, and fixed those to the front of each tier to give it a theme. Added a stuffed animal on top and little things like pacifiers around the tiers.
Image search for inspiration and then just do what you like. There's room to be creative but it will look fine as long as it isn't sloppily put together.

I agree with blue-eyes- wrap a couple of fleece blankets around the layers to "clean them up" and attach items with ribbon.
Personally, I prefer the cleaner diaper cakes that are just diapers, blankets, and maybe a stuffed animal or two.
