How to Make a Napkin Baby Diaper Favor

Baby shower favors usually tie into the theme of the shower or babies in general. Shaped to look like a baby's diaper, paper napkins can become easy-to-make, inexpensive favors. Napkin diapers are dipped in wax and decorated to fit the theme or personalize the favor. Fill the diapers with candy, potpourri or custom soaps.

Difficulty:

Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need

• Square paper napkin
• Miniature diaper pins
• Pot
• Paraffin wax
• Wax paper
• Candy
• Paintbrush (optional)
• Ribbon (optional)

1. Take a square paper napkin and lay it on a flat surface. Fold the napkin in half so it forms a triangle.

2. Bring the two side points of the napkin together so they meet in the middle. Fold the top center point down over the two side points. Clip the napkin edges together with a miniature diaper pin.

3. Melt paraffin wax in a small pot. Dip the entire napkin diaper in the wax, then remove it.

4. Place the napkin diaper on waxed paper and let dry. Keep the center of the diaper open so there is room to fill it when it is dry.

5. Fill the wax-dipped napkin diaper with candy or other goodies. Decorate the diaper by melting colored wax and painting designs onto the diaper. Or tie on ribbons and a gift tag.
