Diaper Bassinet Instructions

Roll the open end of each diaper inward, until you have a tight roll. Wrap a rubber band around the middle of the diaper to hold it in place. Repeat this process with all 80 diapers.

Place the diapers onto a 13-by-9-inch cake board and attach them using double-sided tape. The diapers should be placed vertically with the first row about an inch from the edge of the cake board. You want diapers on all sides of the board to create a rectangle, three rows deep, with an empty rectangle in the center.

Fold a receiving blanket so it is the approximate shape and size of the empty rectangle inside your diapers. Press the blanket into this hole.

Attach decorative ribbon around the inside of the open rectangle using double-sided tape. The ribbon should be about halfway up the diapers and go around the entire perimeter to add a decorative detail. Repeat this step on the outside of the rectangle.

Attach rosettes and bows to the top of the diapers using double-sided tape.

Use a hot glue gun to adhere a door wreath hanger to the cake board. Attach it to one of the shorter sides of the triangle.

Use a piece of ribbon to attach a piece of tulle to the wreath hanger. Drape the ends of the tulle on the outside of the diapers to create a canopy for your bassinet.

Use a hot glue gun to attach lengths of ribbon to the edge of the tulle to add a decorative trim.

Tie a few small teddy bears or other small toys to pieces of string and hang them from the wreath hanger to create a mobile.

Place a small stuffed animal or other small baby necessities in the center of the diaper bassinet.
