Star Wars Diaper Cake

Instructions

1. Roll 10 diapers into tight bundles and secure with a rubber band. Roll from the top down for a cleaner look. Set aside.
2. Create BB-8 diaper cake body by layering diapers on the inside edge of the pan. Keep them in the same direction for a consistent design.
3. Continue adding diapers until only one rolled diaper fits in the center.
4. Secure the base using one or two extra large rubber bands and remove from pan.
5. Cover top of BB-8 base with plain white burp cloth and secure with a rubber band. Folding and tucking the cloth where necessary to create a clean look.
6. Cut out a basic BB-8 design out of orange craft foam and secure to the top of the base using glue dots.
7. Create BB-8 diaper cake head using a cardboard base. Cut out a length of cardboard slight shorter than 4 rolled diapers. Cover the cardboard in silver duct tape.
8. Place 4 diaper rolls on top of cardboard, then 3 diaper rolls, then 2 diaper rolls. You are creating a pyramid of sorts on top of the cardboard. Secure design with rubber band.
9. Cover top of the BB-8 head with a white onesie. Fold and tuck onesie around diapers before securing with a rubber band.
10. Use gray ribbon, strips of orange craft foam and black construction paper to create the details on BB-8’s head. Tuck tucked the length of foam and ribbon in place, underneath the rubber band, I used glue dots to lightly tack them in place.
11. Wrap a small piece of black pipe cleaner around the top of a white pipe cleaner to create BB-8 antenna. Tuck the other end under a rubber band on top of BB-8's head.
12. Wrap wide orange ribbon around BB-8's body and head to hide the rubber bands.
