How to Make a Diaper Stroller: 9 Steps
Introduction:
A diaper stroller is a creative and unique gift for expectant parents at a baby shower. It’s not only an attractive centerpiece, but is also practical since it’s made of diapers that can be used by the new parents. Follow these nine easy steps to make your own diaper stroller.
Step 1: Gather materials
You will need the following:
– 60-70 diapers (size 1 or 2)
– Clear rubber bands
– Large rubber bands
– A small baby blanket or cloth
– Ribbons for decoration
– Scissors
– A small soft toy or stuffed animal (optional)
Step 2: Roll the diapers
Roll each diaper tightly from the fold to the other end, securing it with a clear rubber band. Make sure all the diapers are rolled uniformly.
Step 3: Create the wheels
Take a group of around fifteen rolled diapers and arrange them in a circle, making four equal-sized wheels with a total of 60 rolled diapers. Use large rubber bands to hold each wheel together.
Step 4: Prepare the baby blanket or cloth
Fold the baby blanket or cloth to create a rectangle measuring approximately twice the width of a diaper. This will become the base of your stroller.
Step 5: Attach the wheels
Place each wheel on one corner of the folded blanket or cloth. Fold the corners over each wheel, securing them with clear rubber bands. Tie decorative ribbons around each wheel to hide the rubber bands.
Step 6: Shape the seat and canopy
Lay out ten of the remaining rolled diapers and wrap them in another folded section of the cloth, creating a rectangular shape. This piece will be used as both the seat and canopy of your stroller. Lay this on top of your diaper wheels.
Step 7: Create support for the seat and canopy
Depending on the size of the cloth and diapers used, you may need to create extra support to hold the seat and canopy in place. This can be done by rolling two additional diapers and placing them vertically underneath the canopy.
Step 8: Decorate your diaper stroller
Use ribbons or other decorations of your choice to embellish your diaper stroller. You can tie bows around each wheel, add decorative elements, or match the color theme of the baby shower.
Step 9: Add a finishing touch
Place a small soft toy or stuffed animal on the seat of the stroller as a final touch.
Conclusion:
With these nine simple steps, you’ll have a beautiful, useful, and memorable gift that expectant parents will love. A diaper stroller adds a fun, practical touch to any baby shower and is sure to be admired by all attendees. Happy crafting!
