found these though http://www.lilbabycakes.com/cowboy-diaper-cake.html http://www.babysinstyle.com/catalog.php?item=147

Thank you, thank you, thank you ladies, I just knew you'd come up trumps for me :j

rhj090384, loving those pictures on the 1st cake. Will be checking out some clipart later.
I had a quick look last night (10 mins) and didn't come up with any of these sites.

lesley_mac - brilliant .... I didn't even think of a horse .... how thick am I :rolleyes:
Hmmn, got a camel upstairs, wonder if I could flatten his humps .... lol

rjh090384 - quite liking the idea of tan fringe ..... could never make my own though, couldn't cut straight enough :rotfl:

Rustyflange - red and orange ribbon :mad: you wouldn't believe the fun I had with them two the other day. Bought that giraffe and co-ordinated fleece blanket set from HB's (£4) ..... just couldn't get the ribbons to look any good (hence now packed away).
Loving that neckerchief idea, and you've just reminded me, I have forgot to go to party shop, was hoping to find a small party cowboy hat.

I do have one idea for the covering of the cake, but need to check out that party shop first and give it go ..... til then I'll leave you guessing

Hello everyone, I have only just started using this forum & have learned so much about making my money go further.

The crafts you are making are lovely you must have the patients of a siant to do it.

I think I may have just found myself a new hobby.....bang goes the housework !! :rolleyes:

Welcome aboard MTPOCKET. Don't worry, the housework will still be there tomorrow (and the next day, and the next day ......).
I warn you now, this hobby is sooooooooooo addictive.
As for 'patients of a saint' ...... believe me, I'm sure many of us have our bad nappy rolling/bow tying days ........ amazing though how coming on here is such a de-stress. I just love having a look at what people have made.
Look forward to seeing a photo of your first cake.

What do you use to stick the ribbons on? I can't get mine to stick - arghhhhh. TIA.

Will post pics soon of my first 1 cake - I re-did it as I wasn't happy with the first attempt.

Shelley fab fab fab!!!!!!! Loving that cake! :T :T :T

Went to Asda (thanks to Rusty;) ) and have managed to pick up the 22p cakes boards!...I stocked up .

Also they had the huggies on offer - so instead of buying size 2s which werent on offer, I bought the size 3s triple value box and they work out at 6.8p per nappy which is a bargain!

Oooh and even better and nothing to do with nappy cakes but good for my two little boys are the big value 4 pack of Huggies wipes are on offer at 2 for £5. Meaning 8 packs of wipes for £5! :eek:- I stocked up .

Like Rusty said there are loads more offers on some baby clothing and accessories but didnt have a look at those as tend to use mini mode, John Lewis and M&S stuff.

Double sided tape works well where it overlaps. What have you tried using so far?

First I used several little squares of double sided tape the stuff you use for photos and now I have used double sided tape with my fingers crossed.

I always use bostik glue and glue tape

Thanks Bellag xx
