2. I used size three diapers because babies are in these the most. I rolled a total of 60 diapers.

3. To make the bottom tier: Place one baby bottle on top of your plate. Place six diapers around the baby bottle. Use white yarn, string or a large rubber band to tie around. Pull tightly. I used white yarn because it was the easiest to work with.

4. Next, place twelve diapers around the six diapers and tie the yarn around the diapers. Do the same thing with 18 diapers. You should have three layers.

5. Make middle tier: Place six diapers around the baby bottle you used to make the bottom tier. Use yarn to tie around the diapers to secure tightly. Next, place twelve diapers around the six diapers to make a second layer. Tie yarn around to secure tightly. Set aside. Next, wrap grosgrain ribbon around the tier to give it a finish look and hid the yarn. I used 1.5” grosgrain wrapped the ribbon and finished with a square ribbon cover to keep the ends of the ribbon from showing.

6. Make top tier: Place six diapers around a baby bottle and secure tightly with yarn. Place this tier on top of the bottom and middle tiers. The baby bottles should be touching. If they aren’t, scoot the top tier down a tiny bit so it’s touching the diapers. The baby bottle should be sticking out but don’t worry, we will cover it. Wrap all the layers with grosgrain.

7. Next, use your Mini Bowdabra to make a simple bow. I used the fold bow method by making 2-3 loops on each side. I used white and pink sheer ribbon.

8. Once your bow is formed scrunch down the ribbon using the Mini Bowdabra wand. While the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra, thread the two loose ends of the Bowdabra Bow Wire through the loop at the other end. Pull the Bowdabra Bow Wire tightly while the bow is still in the Mini Bowdabra. Gently pull the bow out and fluff.
