Crafts from diapers as a gift for newborn boys and girls: what can you do with your own hands?

Do you know a family expecting a baby? Or very soon you will have to visit the newborn and congratulate the happy parents? The question immediately arises: what can be given as a gift so that it remains useful and does not lose its attractiveness? Gifts that you make with your own hands are perfect for this role.

Diapers can be given in different ways; we have already described some other options. For example, gifts from diapers in the form of a bear, a motorcycle or a stroller. But our skill, of course, does not end there, so let’s try to do something new. A bouquet of diapers and clothes is a wonderful gift for a newborn.

Precautionary measures

The workplace must be clean, accessories must be in factory packaging, there should be no small, piercing or cutting objects (decorations for floral arrangements are not acceptable as a gift for a baby):

1. Avoid toys with long hair; it is better to replace them with latex or rubber analogues.
2. In order not to cause allergies in your baby or family members, make up a composition only from new and high-quality accessories purchased from products for infants.
3. Look at the picture of diapers for classification and brands (size, composition, country of origin).
4. Blanks for the composition can be twisted in several ways, the main thing is that the figures do not fall apart.

Main ingredient

There are moments that are significant when making such a purchase.

First, they are divided by number - each number corresponds to the baby's weight. Almost all well-known brands adhere to a common scale to make it easier for mothers to decide on a purchase.

There is also number 0, but it is suitable for very small babies - usually premature babies, or twins, triplets, etc.

Secondly, these “mother’s helpers” are daytime and nighttime. Night ones have guaranteed protection against leakage. Designed for a larger volume of discharge.

It is important to check the integrity of the packaging before purchasing. If damaged, sterility and hygiene are impaired and they are not suitable for consumption. Don't skimp on children. Buy a product of excellent quality that has positive reviews.

Crafts from diapers for girls

You can give the little princess’s mother a multifunctional “bouquet” of diapers right along with the vase. It will require a transparent vessel, a package of diapers (No. 2 or No. 3), long skewers, socks, small latex toys or rattles, artificial flowers, organza, multi-colored ribbons or braid, tape and thin elastic bands.

The components of the “bouquet” depend on the size of the container and...the imagination of the master.

• line the bottom of a wide cylindrical vase with decorative paper so that the corners of the edges extend beyond the side;
• place several rolled diapers (with Velcro on the inside) tightly in a vase;
• put the rest on long skewers;
• Decorate the “buds” at the base with organza and ribbons and secure them in a vase. Insert a few branches with artificial flowers for decoration.

How to make a bouquet of diapers for newborns with your own hands, see step by step in the video at the end of the article.

Diaper heaven

Take a diaper and fold it two or three times. We fold the edges of the resulting rectangle towards the middle to form a triangle, and once again bend the sides towards the middle. And so on until we get a bud. Secure at the base with an elastic band or satin ribbon. We take a basket and put a towel in it, and put the resulting flowers in it. We decorate at our discretion.

Flowers from clothes can be placed not only in a classic basket, but also in a flower pot (as a gift for mom), a decorative wicker stroller, or in a gift box.

You can add a toy to the bouquet as decoration and an additional gift.

Or garlands for a crib or stroller, which will be needed by the time of donation.

You can add flowers from diapers to your clothes. But we must remember that this is still a personal hygiene item, so we wash our hands and work with them on a clean surface. And it’s best if the bouquet itself is covered with mica or each flower from the diaper is covered with it. We wrap it in the same way as clothing items.

From the same diapers you can make a base for a bouquet. Simply twist them and form a circle using a rubber band and satin ribbon. And you stick flowers from clothes into this base. Decorate with decorations as desired.

You don’t have to always fold your clothes into perfect rolls; make some of them sloppy.

You shouldn’t be afraid of warmer clothes either, you just get more voluminous buds, but this also looks very nice.

But such bouquets will delight parents of opposite-sex twins.

As can be seen from the master classes, the formation of the buds itself is almost the same, but the decor allows you to show all the power of your imagination and create incredible compositions with your own hands. Can be decorated with standard decor in the form of flowers and twigs. It’s better to add to the gift the things necessary for the baby’s first year (pacifiers, bottles, rattles, etc.). If there are older children in the house where you are taking your gift, then include toys for their age or sweets with the gift. Rest assured, the family will be pleased both with the components of the bouquet, which can be unwrapped periodically, and each time it will be a surprise, and with the design itself.

Stroller made from diapers

And a photo with a stroller made from baby hygiene products will certainly make parents and the grown-up baby smile.

For creativity, buy diapers, a baby blanket, a pack of moisturizing wipes, multi-colored satin ribbons, cellophane. And also “fillers” for the stroller: rubber toys, pacifiers, things for newborns, etc.

• We collect the wheels. To do this, we place five or six diapers on top of each other and twist them. Then secure with double-sided tape or an elastic band (repeat 4 times, according to the number of wheels);
• The “box” of the craft consists of two parts (a bath and a dome). We cover the bottom of the stroller with even diapers in three rows, and for the dome we twist them into a tube and fold them into a slide;
• The axle for the wheels will be two kebab skewers. We string two wheels on each one from different sides under an elastic band;
• we wrap the base of the stroller with a baby blanket (the thick texture will create hard sides), and decorate it, along with the dome, with corrugated paper tied with ribbon around the perimeter of the structure;
• We put baby supplies inside.

You can also put a baby doll made from diapers in the stroller. How to make figures from diapers, step by step, see the photo.

If desired, the outside of the wheels can be decorated with artificial flowers. To do this, the stems are cut to 5 cm and carefully inserted into the center of each twist. A baby girl's diaper stroller is ready!

Rules

Since the gift will be given to parents and is intended for use by a baby, hygiene measures must be observed when creating the cake:

Assembling the cake is only allowed in a clean room; before starting work, hands should be washed with soap and, if possible, treated with an antiseptic. It will be even better if you use gloves when working.

Items of clothing and ribbons for decorating the cake must be ironed; if possible, they should be pre-washed.

Diapers must not be turned inside out, even to create an original design. The inside of the diaper is in contact with the baby's skin, so do not allow dirt or any chemicals, such as glue, to get on it.

The finished gift should be wrapped for hygiene purposes; transparent film is perfect for this.

When creating a cake, keep pets away from the work surface.

Huge diaper cake

Multi-tiered diaper gift cakes for girls are very popular at Hand Maid. The emphasis in this gift is on girlish colors and accessories. Size doesn't matter. Even a small “dessert” from one pack of sanitary diapers can cause admiration.

If the baby was born in winter, then soft pastel colors are used in the craft. And for a “summer” baby, a diaper cake can be made in bright colors. By the way, you can “cook” a cake for a boy, but only use “masculine” colors, toys and decor in the craft.

Video tutorial on “baking” cakes

The tradition of creating cakes, pastries and other fun and extraordinary creations from diapers, which is just emerging in our area, came to us from the West. In particular, in America, such cakes are used to honor the expectant mother and baby at the Baby Shower, which is held shortly before the birth of the baby. In my opinion, the gift is simply wonderful, because in addition to diapers, from which the cake is created, toys and other children's accessories are used, which are used to decorate the cake. You can even hide a bottle of champagne inside the cake, especially for parents.

Basket for twins

A universal congratulation for parents of newborns of both sexes will be a basket of diapers. It can be filled with a lot of other little things useful for the baby, such as a teether, rattles, pacifiers, powders, bathing gels, diapers, baby vests, etc.

For work you will need: two packs of diapers (44 pcs.) No. 3, stationery garters, three glossy ribbons of different widths, thin white terry towels (50X70 cm), a knitted diaper (pink or blue), four pairs of multi-colored socks, a bath toy , formula bottle, pacifier holder, teether. The basket consists of two parts: the bottom and the handle.

Bottom

We “lined” the base with rolled up disposable diapers.

• Roll each diaper into a roll and secure with a rubber band;
• form the first circle from 5 - 6 vertically positioned blanks and secure the second circle (14-15 pieces), place it around the perimeter and secure it again with an elastic band;
• distribute the rest of the diapers evenly in a circle and wrap the base with strong thread;
• Pen;
• An aluminum rod is suitable for the handle frame;
• wrap the part with a terry towel and secure it with tape and thick thread (along the edges);
• carefully bend the workpiece in the shape of a semicircle;
• insert the ends into the bottom of the basket between the diapers.

For boys

Traditionally, blue and blue colors are reserved for boys. Therefore, when creating a cake, you should use marine-themed diapers with cars, and decorate the gift with blue ribbons. A car or a dinosaur is suitable as a toy.

But, of course, you can move away from tradition and decorate the cake the way you want. Presents decorated in a rainbow style look very interesting.

Decor

• wrap the bottom of the basket around the perimeter with a knitted diaper and secure it with pins;
• on top of the canvas, using double-sided tape, first attach the widest satin ribbon (pink or blue), then apply a strip of contrasting color. The decor is completed with a narrow white braid;
• the handle of the basket is draped with fancy ribbon and a bow.

Note!

• What you can make from foamiran with your own hands: we create flowers, Christmas tree decorations, snowflakes, three-dimensional paintings (photo + video)

Now all that remains is to attach the bottle and the toy to the handle using tape. And inside the basket place the rest of the accessories for the baby. At the final stage of the work, the composition packed in cellophane is decorated with a floral bow.

Thus, a diaper car for a boy, when made in neutral colors, can become a symbolic means of transportation for girls.

Compositions with characters from the animal world look original. Funny snails, hedgehogs and diaper bears are made simply, quickly and at minimal cost.

Locomotive

A steam locomotive can be given as a gift to both a boy and a girl . You need to choose colors for decorating a gift depending on the gender of the child. You can put a doll and any toy on top of the train.

To make a steam locomotive you will need:

• diapers, approximately 40 pieces;
• Child T-shirt;
• two pairs of children's socks;
• satin ribbons: wide and narrow;
• toy, pacifiers, socks, combs;
• small towel;
• flowers;
• needle and thread;
• film;
• glue gun

We make wheels.

1. Three diapers, without unfolding, need to be rolled into a cylinder. Be sure to put a thin ribbon inside as a wheel axis for attaching to the platform.
2. For beauty and better stability, you need to tightly wrap the cylinders with wide tape. It is better to glue the ends of the tape with a glue gun. Thus you need to make two wheels. For the third wheel you need to take five to six diapers. It will be under the cab and will bear more weight than the others. All wheels must be made tight, otherwise under the weight of the locomotive they will become flat rather than round.
3. Similarly, you need to make a large cylinder in front of the cabin of the locomotive. It is necessary to twist two cylinders of three to five diapers and wrap them together with a diaper.
4. To create a platform, you need to cut out a rectangle measuring fourteen by twenty-five centimeters and attach the wheels to it using ribbons that were threaded through the wheels as an axle.
5. All remaining diapers are used to make the cabin. To do this, you need to fold them into a rectangle and give them a slightly trapezoidal shape. Then you need to put on a T-shirt and wrap a diaper around the perimeter.
6. Thin ribbons need to be used to attach the cabin and the large cylinder (the ribbons are simply passed under the platform and glued with hot glue).
7. The pipe needs to be twisted from one pair of socks and sewn to a ribbon. The second pair of socks needs to be sewn to the cabin, where they will act as windows.
8. A small towel needs to be folded diagonally and its ends sewn together. Then you need to put it on the platform in front.

Owl

For a composition of "Owl" diapers you will need 35 - 40 diapers, socks, a bib, artificial flowers for the eyes (it is better to choose chamomile or gerberas), satin ribbons, cotton wool or padding polyester.

• for the owl's body, roll up 15 - 20 diapers and secure with an elastic band;
• make the bird’s head from two pieces of “panties” (10 pieces each), connected to each other with a rope from a diaper;
• insert flowers in place of the eyes (cut the stem to 5 cm and wrap the ends with toilet paper so as not to damage the diapers);
• Fill the socks with cotton wool for volume and tie them lightly with thread at the place of the ears;
• put a bib on your body and decorate your neck with a satin bow.

And if you don’t have time to make a masterpiece, then you can quickly present a surprise of multi-colored “lollipops”: for this, a diaper roll is attached to a stick (for example, for balls), wrapped in cellophane and decorated with bows or ribbons.

An interesting solution for a “prefabricated” gift from loved ones could be a boat, where the role of the frame is played by a bathtub for bathing a child. To do this, hygiene products for the baby are attached throughout the board. And the container is filled with the necessary baby supplies.

Crafts made from diapers, made creatively and with soul, are functional and useful for a family with a newborn. They will also leave a long lasting memory of the wonderful event in the family archive. The compositions are very funny; photographs and videos are taken against their background.

To order

A present for a pink-cheeked toddler can be made either with your own hands or ordered from a hand-made artist or in a specialized store.

You can buy the components yourself or trust a professional. The cost of new cakes in the store is affected by:

• price of materials;
• design;
• dimensions;
• production time.

The average cost of a gift will be about 1800-4800 rubles. There may be more expensive VIP options, consisting of several levels and decorations from famous designers.

It’s definitely not worth saving, because such an event only happens once in life. This exclusive experience will no doubt be remembered for many years. Be sure to take a photo of the product as a souvenir.

This delicacy will first of all please the parents of the little man with its usefulness and practicality. We hope that the discussed master class and recommendations will help you build an interesting structure quickly and easily. The most important thing is to come up with an unusual and catchy design and purchase high-quality components.

How to fold?

Today, there are a lot of master classes through which you can easily make a beautiful and impressive gift for a newborn. In this case, diapers can be folded in three ways:

• roll, starting from the groin area to the belt;
• laying out in a row on the table with one overlapping;
• using a round dish, inserting diapers into it edgewise, then gathering them together with an elastic band.

Elastic bands are needed primarily to secure diapers. In this case, the larger size is used to support a large circle made from diapers. The smaller ones fix each of them separately when it needs to be rolled up. Sometimes round blanks do not have a core, in other cases the base of the craft is a roll of paper towels or a tall feeding bottle.

You can combine different folding methods if this does not affect the stability of the product. The method of rolling up diapers on a table is convenient and quick, because in this case they are simply rolled up. By the way, you can also use some kind of core. The base in the center will allow you to roll up the desired element of the craft faster and more accurately.

Beautiful bouquet

Practical and cute gifts will always be in demand. And things made with your own hands are not only useful, but also pleasant. Using your imagination and spending a little time and money, you can create such a masterpiece, the particularity of which no one will doubt.

In addition to multi-layer desserts, all “needs” and clothes can easily be folded into the shape of a bicycle, snail or basket, and a bouquet of diapers can surprise and pleasantly please a young mother.

To make “flowers,” rolled super panties are placed on a long skewer without damaging them. “Inflorescences” are assembled into a composition and complemented with small details or children’s socks folded into a bud. Decorative flowers would be a great addition.

They will add color and make the bouquet come alive. Do not use live plants in the composition. This can cause allergies in the child or his mother. The “flowers” ​​collected together are wrapped in a colorful wrapper and decorated with a satin ribbon bow. In accordance with the gender of the baby, the compositions are performed in a certain range.

Filling selection

This wonderful gift will be very useful for parents. The appearance of such a gift will delight and lift your spirits.

The main component of such a stroller will be diapers. As you know, there are never too many of them. Parents will be very grateful for them. You need to choose them responsibly and not skimp on quality. After all, they will be in contact with the baby’s body. They should have a very soft inner surface. For a newly born baby, special diapers for newborns of the first size are suitable. For those who will be present when mother and child are discharged from the maternity hospital, this option is just right. If the gift will be a little later, for example, for a baby shower or christening, and the child is already a couple of months old, then you need to purchase a second size.

In addition to diapers, rompers, bodysuits, bibs, baby vests, little men, hats, and socks are suitable for filling the stroller. To purchase items of the right size, you should check the child’s height. Consultants at children's stores have extensive experience and will tell you what clothes are suitable for this height. Or you can determine the size yourself using the table in the photo below.

On a note! If in doubt, it is best to take clothes a little larger in size, you won’t go wrong.

You can add baby hygiene products: baby oil after bathing, bathing product, diaper rash cream, powder, towel. Textiles: cloth or disposable diapers, blanket. You can knit it yourself or purchase it in a store. Feeding products: bottles, sippy cups, spoons, nibblers, pacifiers. Toys: soft, non-lint-free animals, rattles, rustling toys, fabric books, educational toys for little ones, teethers

Please ensure that the products are of high quality and hypoallergenic.

We make the seat and handles of the moped

The base of the back should be wrapped with thin cardboard. Additional diapers are placed in a box, which will act as a seat. It is upholstered with non-woven fabric that imitates Color. the fabric is selected according to your preferences. front A bottle is twisted through the cardboard, it acts as a horn and headlights. Since the diameter is smaller than the neck of the lid, it will hold up perfectly.

moped The handles are made of holographic cardboard, which is usually superimposed on. Next, you need to make an oval-shaped box for the rear wheel. This stage requires special attention.

The entire structure is connected with chopsticks for sushi. They are pulled through cardboard, rubber bands and wheels. You can decorate the scooter with ribbons and a metal sign on the handles. Such unusual surprises will bring a lot of pleasure.

What else to consider?

• No matter how much you would like to make a product out of diapers as beautifully as possible, you should not use paints, especially those that contain harmful impurities. Such substances can trigger an allergic reaction. In addition, if the artist prefers to use water-based paints, he must take into account the degree of risk, because it is possible that splashes of water may get on the finished product.
• Don't pull the diapers too tightly with the rubber bands as you roll each one. There should be a sense of proportion in everything. We must not forget that in some cases these elastic bands should be removed after the rows are fastened in a circle. Of course, if you are sure that the diapers will be used immediately, you don’t have to remove the elastic bands that secure each diaper.

In some cases, craftsmen prefer to use thin ribbons rather than rubber bands.

Sometimes, instead of elastic bands, they even use ordinary wooden clothespins, using them as temporary auxiliary tools. Of course, such devices cannot be called convenient, but if there are no rubber bands, there is no choice. It is important to pay attention to the fact that you cannot use useful little things that you plan to give to your baby for fixation. For example, you should not fix the craft with a garland of toys on the stroller. Regardless of the duration of fastening your gift, it will stretch, and therefore will not look beautiful after unpacking the gift

The same can be said about hair ties for girls, which craftsmen sometimes use as diaper holders. After this beauty is removed, the elastic bands will be stretched, which will automatically deprive them of their aesthetic appeal.

• As for packaging, it is mandatory and should be the final stage of work. This step cannot be put off until later. Hygiene standards require that the packaging be sealed during operation so that neither dust nor any auxiliary item used in making the gift gets inside the gift.
• Using the given master classes, you can make crafts with different shapes. These can be a variety of shapes, products based on circles, ovals, squares. Clarity may depend on the availability of supporting equipment or containers.

In addition, you can use substrates that will not allow your product to deform its contours. For example, it could be a dish, bowl, vase. In skillful hands, a basin for washing clothes can serve as the basis for making a spectacular present from diapers.

Production technology

The production of SIP panels is a simple process, most of the operations in which are carried out automatically. There are three main parts:

• assembly;
• cut;
• gluing.

A thin layer of adhesive is applied to a sheet of oriented strand board (OSB), and expanded polystyrene is placed on top. On the other side, the polystyrene foam is covered with the same OSB sheet, pre-coated with glue. After proper drying, the finished panel can be used in construction. The gluing process is complicated by foaming adhesive, so the slabs are subjected to a press equivalent to 18 tons. The panels are connected very quickly, due to the ability of the glue to dry within 5 minutes. Excess adhesive is removed mechanically by heating to a temperature of 500 degrees.
