Nautical themed baby shower

Another friend of mine was going to have her first baby in October and I wanted to help out with her baby shower. Her mother in law provided the food and I was in charge of games and decorations.

These are just a few of the decorations we had and they were super easy and cheap to make.

This wreath was made with a wreath a $4 wreath mold? ( I know that's not the right word), new born diapers, ribbon, construction paper and a decorative toy. I first attached the diapers and tied off the tops with white ribbon. Then I traced out a circle large enough for the back drop and attached that to the wreath. I printed off a picture of an anchor and glued that on. I took the blue ribbon and just weaved in through the wreath and diapers then added the toy on the bottom.

The diaper cake was so much fun to make. Most diaper cakes are done by rolling each, individual diaper then form each tier. I did not want to do that so I lined up the diapers and fanned them out. It took a bit of practice, but once you get it, you'll be so grateful you didn't roll each diaper up individually. I kept each tier tied up with white ribbon then added the "It's a boy" ribbon on top of the white. Each tier is independent of the others (meaning there is nothing in the center holding them all together). After I add the blue ribbon I put the frame and toys for finishing touches.

Along with these decorations were also two clothes lines with baby clothes and wash cloths (nautical themed) as well as glass baby bottles filled with swedish fish which also served as our anchors for the blue, white and silver balloons. All in all it was a fun baby shower with quick and easy decorations.
