Diaper Cake

4 (21 x 40-inch) cloth diapers
12 (4 1/2 x 15-inch) diaper liners
2 pair baby socks with lace edging
4 diaper pins
1 baby bottle
1 (10-inch) round cake tray with cover
2 yards 3/8-inch wide ribbon
27 inches (3/4-inch wide) eyelet lace, 3/4-inch wide

Fold diaper lengthwise in half. Place 3 diaper liners inside folded cloth diaper 5 1/2 inches below the top of edge. Fold the diaper lengthwise again to measure 5 x 40 inches. Make four sets total.

Place the bottle at the end of one diaper and roll the diaper around bottle. Continue to do so with the other three sets of diapers around the bottle. Pin the end of the diaper with a pin. Tie a 70-inch piece of ribbon 1 inch below the top of each of the 4 socks and tuck the socks into the top of the cake. Tie 4 bows with 8-inch lengths of ribbon and pin them around the sides of the cake. Pin the other 3 diaper pins vertically around the sides of the cake - alternate pins and bows. Put the cake on bottom of carrier and wrap 27 inches of eyelet lace around bottom edge of the cake. Tuck ends into the pinned end of a diaper. Cut a 2 3/4-inch circle out of the top center of cake cover for the bottle to fit through. Place cover on cake.
