Diaper Doll

want to make one of these?

supplies: 20 newborn or size 1 diapers

white curling ribbon (i used red to show you better)

tape

scissors

bamboo skewers (optional)

whatever you want to dress your baby in (pants, onsie, pacifier, bottle, hat, whatever you want!)

take 6 diapers and roll them up and tape them. you can also use a rubberband if you want.

set 4 rolls aside, they are the arms and legs. take 1 of the remaining rolls and wrap 9 more diapers around it, use tape to secure it. this will be the body, 10 diapers total.

once all 10 diapers are on, wrap a piece of curling ribbon around it to make sure it's really secure. don't tie too tight or you'll smoosh the body and it won't be round anymore.

on the remaining roll, wrap 5 more diapers around it to make a total of 6 diapers. and again, secure it with curling ribbon.

stack the body and head on top of one another and wrap another piece of curling ribbon around both parts to secure. then dress your doll.

slide the 4 diaper rolls that you set aside at the beginning into each of the pant legs and arms (1 in each). if you're having a problem with them staying in the pant legs, you can tape the diaper around a bamboo skewer, and then slide it into the pants and stick between the layers of diapers.
