How to Make a Diaper Cake

So I guess it is something new for our generation to make diaper cakes as decorative/gifts for baby showers. I threw my best friend Mer's baby shower on August 2nd (I know I am late with the pics), but here is how a diaper cake is done. They are easy to make and a great gift for the mommy!
1) I used Whole Foods brand 365 which are cholorine free diapers (42 total) and after rolling them up, securing them with rubber bands and making three tiers I then used yarn to secure them.
2) The next step was a layer of decorative paper, then some pretty ribbon to add some class
3) The hardest part of this was the handmade flowers. Paper-source creates a kit for these and they are tricky but so worth it.
