Hi Julie
Thanks for your reply, what is a nappy cake??
If you had any instructions and thought is was easiy enough to make i would love a go.. You will be pleased to know i am knitting myself a scarf at the moment just knitting one row then pearl the next, but it is a start and gives me something to do in the evenings now when it is dark and a cant get out in the garden.
many thanks Jo

Hi Jo. here are a couple of examples. they are made from rolled up nappies and i cover them using blankets baby clothes etc. i then finish off by wrapping in cello like the bottom pic.
And yes i do think you could try it.even if you only made the bottom tier.

Maybe if I gave you some instructions you could make her something like that yourself. it is possible if i helped you and just think how you would be the number 1 friend.

think about it

Julie I'd love it if you could show me how to make a nappy cake. My sister is expecting a baby boy, after soooo many attempts. I am so happy for her as she has wanted a baby for as long as I can remember and she would love a nappy cake.

How do you get them to stick together, are they just placed on top or are they secured somehow?

chatty123 · 08-11-2009, 03:25 PM

you can take out the centre nappy from the bottom tier and insert something like baby talc or a baby bottle which will hold tiers 1 and 2 and then do the same to hold tier 2 and 3. But once its wrapped in the cello they should hold ok without . the tip is making sure the nappies are rolled evenly so that the they are flat top and bottom to sit neatly. if you see what i mean.

will pm you
