I purchased the platinum and their blurred lines washi tape, they honestly turn everyday projects into simply inspired creations. You can find these items in the paper craft isle in Walmart.

Materials:
- Baby diapers
- 1 Paper towel roll
- Scotch® Expressions Glitter Tape Platinum
- Scotch® Create Double Sided Tape
- Ribbons
- Baby items of your choice
Instructions:
Step 1: Roll each diaper and secure it by placing Scotch® Create Double Sided Tape around the middle of the rolled diaper.
Step 2: Place a paper towel roll in the middle of a base or just simply place it on the table (like I did) and start placing the rolled diapers around the paper towel roll. Make sure to fit it nice and tight.
Step 3: Place a ribbon around the diapers and tie it, to make sure the diapers do not fall out of place.
Step 4: Add 2 more layers (total of 3 layers) of rolled diapers and again secure it and tie it with a ribbon. You will see that you will need more diapers as the layers increases.
Step 5. Using Scotch® Expressions Glitter Tape Platinum, you want to place it on top of the ribbon you tied your diapers with. Place a piece of Scotch® Create One Sided Tape to the ends of the glitter tape, to make sure it doesn’t come off. Doesn’t it look amazing already?
Step 6: Now, to your second tier, this time you will make two layers of rolled diapers. Follow the same steps from above. Easy Peasy!
Step 7: With the second tier, I used the Scotch® Expressions Washi Tape Blurred Lines, to add a fun and different element to the diaper cake. I love the different varieties of Scotch® Tapes you can use. And, you know what? If you’re armed with Scotch™ Brand, you definitely got this.
Step 8: The third tier, you will only need to make one layer of rolled diapers. Again, tie it with a ribbon and then place the Scotch® Expressions Glitter Tape Platinum on top of it. Secure it with a piece of Scotch® Create One Sided Tape.
Step 9: Now it’s time to decorate your diaper cake! I simply added a few baby items like a comb, rattle, and baby bibs. I also, added a few feathers and colorful ribbons that I purchased at a discount store. This is the time to release your creative side and decorate it how ever you want.
Step 10: Be proud of your own diaper cake, You did it!
I was super proud when I finished making this diaper cake because I honestly thought I couldn’t do it. What I love is that this diaper cake was affordable to make and the Scotch® Brand made that possible. The Scotch® Brand products are price conscious which is great because aren’t we always looking for ways to save money? I also, made sure to buy a few items from a discount store and looked around my house to see what other craft items I could use.
