How to Make a Nursery Wreath

Make a wreath using diapers and baby toys.

Crafty wreaths made with diapers and other infant-inspired items make charming baby shower decorations and gifts for moms-to-be. If you are hosting a baby shower for a friend or loved one, make one or more diaper wreaths to enhance the celebration space. Hang them on the walls for a themed look. The guest of honor can take them home to decorate her baby's nursery. The wreaths will give the nursery a sweet, whimsical touch.

Things You'll Need

• 14 size one baby diapers
• 10-inch polystyrene wreath base
• 21 10-inch-long lengths of pastel-hued ribbon
• Small baby-related items, such as socks

Instructions

1. Gather 14 size one baby diapers. Open one diaper up and wrap it around a 14-inch polystyrene wreath base, with the ends facing outward.

2. Tie a 10-inch length of a pastel pink, blue or yellow satin ribbon into a bow around the diaper, near the wreath base; the ends of the diaper will remain open and face outward.

3. Attach the remaining 13 diapers to the wreath base in the same manner, until the entire surface is covered. Secure the diapers close together so that the base doesn't show through.

4. Use 10-inch-long ribbons to tie a small baby-related item, such as a rolled pair of socks, a pacifier or stuffed toy, to every other diaper to finish the wreath. Tie the ribbons around the items, knotting them securely. Tie the ribbons to the bows around the diapers to secure the items to the wreath.
