I think it turned out really nice. Jim asked me how I was going to get it to the shower. I think it should travel okay. The layers are not joined so I can take it apart and reassemble it at the shower.
Jim was essential in rolling the towels. I said it was all the Boy Scout training on rolling sleeping bags that helped.
The woman in the video I watched has lots of diaper cake videos that look really cool. I have made a diaper cake for a baby shower but the ones I saw were really elaborate. I may try one the next time I get a shower invitation.
I purchased some items from Target in addition to the towels because the bride to be was registered there. I decided to put them in the wooden bowl she had on her wish list. Here is a picture of the finished product. I am not 100% happy with it but it will do because I have taken it apart and redone it a dozen or so times. I know what I want but I cannot seem to make it arrange that way. LOL. I found some alphabet stamps at Michaels $1.00 bins which were marked down to $.50. I was excited to find the right letters! Hurray!
I used left over cake flowers and colored napkins to brighten it all up. Ok, I am happy with it when I look at the picture, very cheery.
One more item to give her...I originally bought the items with a lovely lime green plastic tote. My plan was to wrap some of the smaller items in tissue and leave the rest unwrapped. Did I mention that her colors are grey, yellow, and lime green? Anyway, I bought a lovely grey wide ribbon to tie around the green tote. It would have been fine but then I saw the cake towel on Pinterest and all my plans had to change. :) Of course, I will still give her the green tote because she will need it to load up her shower gifts to take home. I hope she will be pleased with it.
Here is my third revision of this post. I finished the card to go with the gifts. I used one of the cards from my post of the other day and finished it off with a decorated chevron grey bag.
