HOT AIR BALLOON DIAPER CAKE _ Baby Shower Celebration _ Centerpiece _Tutorial

For this project .

We're going to need a clear container and I got it at a dollar store .

This one and the size is nine inches in length , 73 quarters in width and 6 1/8 in height .

A paper lantern , 24 inches in diameter .

I chose a white one 40 diapers .

Number 24 balloon sticks , 13 quarter yards of tool in baby pink , two dial bands .

The color of your choice , 12 pieces of jut , all of them up 32 inches in length , four paper milkshake straws , fabric ribbon , assorted ribbons , 20 to 30 hairbands and a stuff animal of your preference to work with the materials .

All you're going to need is a blue gun and a pair of scissors .

So let's start the project .

The first thing we're going to do is to cut a piece of this ribbon to cover the bottom of this plastic container .

So it should be something like this and then I am going to cut and that will be good as you see .

I am placing the ribbon exactly at the edge of the plastic container and we're gonna continue glowing and this is the end of it .

I just wanna make sure that I place the glue in the last piece of ribbon and , and just pressure .

So they glue together for the next step .

We're gonna fill up the basket with diapers and I'm gonna put 12 on one side like this and the rest in the other side like this .

In total .

I added 19 diapers to the inside of the basket .

We're gonna pull them this way tight .

See , and then we're gonna use one of these hair ties and hold the diaper with it and that's it .

We're gonna do it with all of the diapers .

There are 21 diapers here , the diapers are all set .

Now I am going to bring back the plastic container and also the two file bands or two huge rubber bands .

It doesn't matter really the color that you choose for your rubber bands .

So what I'm gonna do is place the rubber bands around the container just like this .

Perfect .

And now we're going to place the diapers inside of the rubber band all around .

I just wanna make sure that the diapers are covering a bit the top of the container .

This is what we have and that's how you're gonna see it from the top .

And now we need to put diapers in this corner so we can cover them .

Try that when you are placing the diaper inside , it doesn't get the other ones all myself .

You may have to adjust like I am doing now , but that's OK and I'm gonna add another one here because I can see there's a little bit loose and that's fine .

That's why you have the extra diapers .

They're not extra really .

But you know what I'm saying ?

So you can use them to adjust and make sure that all your diapers are tight .

So they don't come out .

I just wanna give you a view from the side .

That's how it's gonna look .

OK ?

No , I'm gonna use this ribbon to go around the diapers in this way , just measuring and then I'm gonna cut right here .

And this is the time when I choose my front and my back , I chosen this part to be the front and this part to be the back .

And what I'm gonna do is that I'm gonna put the back here so I can work on it and it will be like this .

I am going to do that with the hot glue and I'll do it little by little .

Oh I need to get one of those things that you put in your finger so you don't get third because I'm always burning myself with this glue .

That's where I need to put it .

And I have to make sure that it's going in the right place and hold it for a little bit .

So it has time to glue .

I mean to dry .

This is all set and now we are gonna go with these four sticks , we are gonna place them each one in a corner like this .

But before that , we are going to mark two inches in each of the sticks just like this .

And this part is what it is gonna go inside like this up to here .

You could also glue the four plastic sticks at the beginning when there are no diapers inside of the box will slide a paper milkshake straw into each one of the sticks .

Now , I'm going to put this on the side and we're going to work with the paper lantern .

These 12 pieces of Juke wine that we previously cut , we are gonna glue them to the paper lantern .

653.9 --> 732.669

It'll give it more stability and will hopefully make it stay in its place .

Um The bottom is where we are working now and you see that the bottom has the opening figure and once we finish with the bottom , we're gonna move to the top and do the same .

Yeah .

Yeah .

So far this is what we have now , it gets even more fun .

We're gonna place the paper lantern on top and we're gonna make sure that the four plastic sticks go inside of the bigger hole of the paper lantern just like this .

It came out perfect with a little bit of hot glue .

We are going to secure the paper lantern to the paper milkshake straws .

I am going to use these four colors of ribbon to decorate the hot air balloon use double sided tape for the ribbon because it will stick to the milkshake um straw , but it will also the ribbon will stick to it from the outside .

Now , let's measure the diameter of the top circle in the paper lantern .

The reason is because we are gonna use that measurement to create something like this for the top of the hot air balloon since I already made this one , which is the one that we're gonna be using for the hot air balloon that we are building .

Now , I'm gonna make another one in white for this other hot air balloon that I made and that way I can show you how to make this piece .

Ok .

Yeah .

For the next step , I had to bring down the hot air balloon into the floor because I couldn't reach the top .

And what I'm doing is putting some double sided tape in like a cross shape .

After that , I am gonna be placing on top of that our tool that we created like the little shape that we created right on top of it just like that .

And that's it .
