New Nappy Cake

jan58_2

Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind me joining you but I have a problem. I'd like to get hold of some nappies that have a nice pattern all over them. I would like them in all sizes but all I've found in small sizes are white ones with just a strip of pattern round the top. I thought I'd finally found some today but when i opened them they weren't patterned all over.

Really hope someone can help me with this please as I'm spending a fortune at the minute.

many thanks
jan.

Jan 58, I have to say that i don't recall any nappies that are patterened all over - perhaps with the exception of swim nappies. Pullups are generall the only ones with a bit more decoration on the front of them. Unless anyone knows different........

Wow, you are all so talented. The pics I've seen are fantastic!

I know there are rules about selling on the boards but I want to buy a 3 tier cake. I've seen some on ebay but begrudge paying the postage. If anyone is in my area (North East), can you tell me where you sell your items.

Thanks

Tesco have 20% off all clothes at the moment (which includes muslin cloths) There is also an additional 20% off code as posted on the discount codes section . This makes a pack of 3 muslin cloths £2.24 (before quidco) Delivery is £3.95 if you are spending under £50 but if you need any schoolwear (I added a pack of 3 vests for £2) then delivery is free.

Hope this helps someone

Sorry if this is already posted and I missed it but I was in Pounstretchers today and their Disney range of rattles, teething rings hair care sets at 99p are buy 1 get 1 free bargain I thought x

I went to my local Poundstretchers this morning and managed to get a Pooh rattle and pack of 2 dummy clip things as that's all they had on BOGOF, so thanks for the tip.

There's an idenpendant card shop and a craft shop in the same retail park so managed to get all my ribbons and a pull bow sorted out. All that's left to get for my 1st cake is a teddy and the cellophane.

Once this one is done I'll follow the advice of you lovely ladies and buy cello and ribbon in larger quantities online

its actually cheaper in hobby craft for the ribbon

Thanks for that, but unfortunately I dont get to hobby craft very often, a bit too far away for me, and usually a long time waiting in traffic jams on the M6!!!!

I've got to go and make tea now but wanted to pop on to say that I've 90% finished my nappy cake I'll sort out posting some pics later, but I've done 3 tiers, wrapped with a hooded fleece blanket, a muslin and a burping/feeding cloth. I've put in 2 pairs of socks and scratch mitts, Johnsons shampoo and a Johnsons soap, 2 dummy holders, a rattle, 2 mini bottles of wine and 33 size 3 nappies. I've got the ribbon all ready to put on but still need to get a teddy (proving harder than I thought!) and a cakeboard, then get it wrapped. It looks better than I thought it would for a first attempt, especially as I've had a lot on and had a bit of a rush to get the bits. I was picturing it in my head thinking it would all be mis-matched with different shades of cream lol, but I think it looks ok now I've made it. My 2 DDs were watching and they thought it looked good too

P.S. I swirled and it was ever so easy

Well done Cat04! I find them really 'satisfying' to do - transforming all the ingredients into a talking point! Looking forward to seeing your pics
