Step by Step Rolled Diaper Wreath Instructions

Rolled Diaper Wreath
Sorry no pics I'm doing this from work.

Step one:
Roll all your diapers.  I used one whole packages of new born size diapers here it was like 40 something of them.  Roll from the open end to the closed end.  The trick here is to make them slightly more cone shaped when rolling them.  Secure with a rubber band in the middle of each diaper. 

Step Two:
Apply your ribbon.  I took my ribbon rolled it around one diaper and got my measurement from there to cut each ribbon to length.  Apply the glue to secure the ribbon onto the ribbon itself so as to not ruin the diaper.  The point of the gift is for it to be useful as well as decorative. 

Step Three:
Take your foam wreath and apply the diapers.  Here is a link to where I purchased my wreath http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/styrofoam-wreath-ring-37150/ Glue the diaper down to the wreath with hot glue the side of the diaper where your ribbon met, the ugly side.  Put the glue on the ribbon not the diaper so that it is still useable.  If you did not make your ribbon tight enough around your diapers the diapers will fall out of the ribbon when the wreath is lifted.  Continue gluing until the wreath is full. I then added a bow and cute hanging sign I found here http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/its-a-boy-hanging-tin-sign-413880/
hope to have pictures or a video soon!
