The birth of a child for most families is the most important and perhaps the most pleasant event in life. It is not surprising that relatives and close friends want to congratulate the newly minted parents. An original and non-standard gift, which will bring not only surprise and positive emotions, but also benefit, is a gift made with your own hands from diapers that will be used for the purpose by the new family member in the future.

Many may be surprised, but from diapers, indeed, you can make a lot of interesting and unusual gift facilities.

Not everyone knows how to make an original gift from diapers, so the article will describe the main methods for accomplishing this task as soon as possible and with an accessible list of necessary materials.

First you need to decide on the firm of diapers and its size. It is advisable to use those that are well suited for babies, and should be purchased not only with one size, but several, because the baby grows very quickly, and with them the parameters change.

It is also important to use those shades that meet the sex of the child, so that the gift looks as beautiful and appropriate as possible. For example, boys are suitable for green, blue or beige shades, and for girls purple, pink, white and neutral beige are used.

During the assembly of the gift, other components may be needed depending on the form chosen. These can be children's things (hats, vests, socks, antitsarapki and romper), satin ribbons of various sizes, diapers and even towels for the baby.

There are certain rules that must be followed when assembling an interesting construction for a child.

• Hands should be clean, and a place to practice - sterile. It is not recommended to turn the diapers, because the inner part has a protective layer, and it should not come into contact with anything other than the body of the child.
• If there are pets in the apartment, it is better to remove them away from the sterile place and temporarily take them out of the room. This is done so that there is no wool on the pampers, which can easily cause allergic reactions in a child, not to mention unhygienic.
• If additional items of plastic and fabric are used during assembly, they must be thoroughly processed (washed with soap or an antiseptic, ironed) before use. The same happens with special ribbons or laces that will fasten the entire structure.
• Use only natural and hypoallergenic materials.
• In order to protect the future product from bacteria, it is desirable to paste over the table for working with a conventional food film.

The most popular and beautiful item that can be made from diapers is a cake. It gives a lot of opportunities for decoration, while it looks large-scale and incredibly attractive gift.

First, determine the number of layers. The gold standard can be called three-layer cakes, which are decorated with children's toys, rattles, wide satin ribbons and even such useful things as scissors, nipples and bottles for newborns around the perimeter.

The easiest way to make a single-tiered cake from diapers, which will look cute and charming, at the same time, even those who do something for the first time with their own hands will succeed. It will require at least 11 diapers, a beautiful diaper, wide ribbons, hot melt glue, scissors, and be sure to decorate (in this case, small booties).

To make such a cake, you must follow certain points.

1. A cushion is made from one diaper, which is fixed with a regular tape. The cushion is set on the table and the rest of the diapers are placed around it.
2. Then they are gradually rolled up around the main roller, and the structure is fixed with a wide ribbon so as to form a circle in the form of an ordinary cake. The base is ready, and it can be decorated according to personal preferences.
3. You can completely wrap it in a beautiful multi-colored diaper, wrap a bright ribbon and tie it with a bow. Upstairs are attached small baby booties or a soft toy, which will be an excellent decoration.

For the manufacture of three tiers on the cake will need at least 80-85 diapers, ribbons of different widths, a round base of cardboard from paper towels (can be made independently), cardboard, threads, beautiful cloth or paper in the color of diapers, hot melt glue, a couple of pins and items for decoration.

In the absence of a round base from paper towels - it must be made independently. For this is suitable thick cardboard. It collapses into a small narrow tuba and is glued together at a length that the future cake should be. Next, the tube needs to be glued with a beautiful cloth or paper along the entire length to give an aesthetic look.

After that the base for the cake is prepared from the same cardboard. To do this, just cut a circle of such diameter as you would like to see later on the first layer of the future product. Cardboard is desirable, as well as a tube, pasted with a cloth or paper to match diapers.

When these steps are over, you can safely proceed to the assembly of the cake. To do this, each diaper is rolled up with a small roller and secured with thread, after which the tube is glued to the base in the middle. Already, the diaper rollers are gradually attached to it in a circle so that they fill the entire base in several circles.

For the second tier, the base is no longer required. The rollers are installed on top of the first layer and are fastened around the tube in the same way, after which the third layer is fixed. Each layer is wrapped with a wide ribbon that will hold all the diapers together and at the same time will make the product more attractive. Over it, you can fix another tape, but narrower, which will give a multi-layer. In addition to the tape, you can use baby diapers, over which the tape is already attached. The cake is almost ready, but it requires decorations from various children's things, toys and ribbons.

On the top layer, you can attach a soft toy or baby booties. They do it with the help of ordinary pins, because then they are easily removed and at the same time do not spoil the diapers. A beautiful big bow, which is made of multi-colored ribbons that match each other in color, with the help of a glue gun will also help decorate the top.

It is desirable to decorate not only the top, but also each tier of the product. Small bows made of satin ribbons, rattles, nipples and bottles, small soft toys, socks, and hats are perfect for this.It is not difficult to fix them on the product, because they cling perfectly and are held together by ribbons, which are attached to a wide tape fastening diapers.

Cakes are just a small part of what you can think of diapers as a gift for young parents. For example, Looks beautiful owl of diapers, diapers and children's socks.

For work you will need: 40 diapers, cardboard, cloth, paper, diaper, socks, a pair of flowers, gum, bib, thread, tape and cotton.

For a start, twist 20 diapers in a circle. This can be done both in a master class with cakes, and in a slightly different way, when the diapers are gradually placed in the lid of the round box one by one and the result is a round base. With rollers you get the same good and strong base, so the choice of method of manufacture depends on personal convenience. In the end, everything is fixed with rubber bands.

For the owl face, you need 20 diapers. Of the 10, one part is made and secured with an elastic band, and of the remaining 10 - the second part, which is also fixed with an elastic band.

Next, you need to collect an owl from three components, holding it all with a diaper, which is located above the head (it is folded so that a long flat line is made in width of 10-15 centimeters), and its edges hang down from the sides, simulating wings.

The diaper is fastened with a ribbon in the middle of the owl, dividing the head and body. It is tied with a bow for beauty, and at the same time between the muzzle and the body you need to place a bib that will become the front part of the owl, and a small twisted piece of fabric - this is the future nose. As the eye, you should use artificial flowers that are fixed with hot melt glue. Additionally, you can make a gift bow.

Using such techniques, it is possible to make a variety of diaper designs, and make their design original.
