How To Make Paper Diapers For Baby Shower Game? Paper diapers are a great game for baby showers. They are easy to make, inexpensive to buy, and provide hours of entertainment for the guests at your event.
All you need is paper towels, toilet paper rolls (a lot!), tissue paper (for stuffing), tape or glue, and scissors. Even if you’re not expecting any babies in the near future, this blog post will show you how to create some fun party games that will be perfect for any occasion.
How To Make Paper Diapers For Baby Shower Game
If you’re looking for a fun game to play at your next baby shower, why not try making paper diapers? It’s easy to do and only requires a few basic supplies. Here’s how:
To make paper diapers for the baby shower game, you will need to start with a rectangular piece of paper.
Fold the paper in half, then fold it in half again. You should now have a square.
Cut the square diagonally to create two triangles.
Fold each triangle in half and crease well. Now unfold them.
Take the top right corner of one triangle and bring it down to meet the bottom left corner. Crease well and unfold. This is now the front of your diaper.
Do the same thing with the other triangle, but make sure that when you bring the top right corner down, it meets up with the backside of the first triangle (ie the part that was originally the bottom left corner).
Now take one of the pointed corners and fold it up towards the center of the diaper. Crease well and unfold. This is now the waistband of your diaper.
Do the same thing with the other pointed corner.
Your paper diaper is now finished! To make it look more realistic, you can add some baby powder or flour to it.
How Do You Make Napkin Diapers For Baby Shower?
Fold a paper towel in half and cut slightly larger than your napkin – you want it to be at least an inch wider.
Lay the folded, flattened paper towel on top of one side of the open napkin so that edges meet when you fold them over. This creates two layers for extra absorbency!
Take another sheet or two and lay this layer across the width of the diaper (to cover more surface area). Then secure with tape, stickers, etc.
It’s best not to overlap too much because then once baby pees there will just be wetness all around where they’re sitting instead of being able to soak into any part of these sheets underneath fast enough before leaking out onto their clothes or seat.
If you want to get really fancy, make a quilt stitch (or just sew) around the edge of your top layer for reinforcement.
Napkin diapers are so easy and cheap to make–plus they can be personalized with any designs or colors that match your shower theme! Be sure to test them out before the big day though; you don’t want any surprises (aka leaks).
How Do You Make Homemade Diapers?
There are lots of different ways to make homemade diapers. You can choose not to use any cloth diaper or family cloth at all, and instead use disposable wipes on the baby’s bottom after each dirty change.
This has several benefits: it saves money since you’re using fewer materials; there is less laundry work involved with only changing your child once per day (or night); some parents find that they have better bowel control when wearing a diaper for hours versus minutes; and if you go out in public, no one will know what kind of napkin method you’ve chosen.
However, many people like to make their own reusable diapering system out of natural fabrics such as cotton flannel. Flannel used specifically for babies comes pre-washed and softened, making it gentler on the baby’s skin. You will need enough fabric to make a cover and six absorbent inserts – plus some extra for the waistband and binding (optional).
To make a diaper cover: cut two pieces of fabric measuring 24″x24″, then hem all four sides. If you want your cover to be more durable, add an inch or so to the widths before hemming. Now you have the main part of the diaper cover! The next step is to make the absorbent inserts.
For each insert, cut one piece of fabric measuring 11″x14″. Fold this in half lengthwise, then sew along the long edge using a ¼-inch seam allowance.
You should now have a long strip of fabric measuring 11″x11″. Using the same seam allowance, sew along both short edges to make an “I” shape. Now you can place this inside the diaper cover with its raw edge facing up.
Fold-down one inch on each side all around the insert’s perimeter and pin in place so that it does not move when sewing.
Next, take your two pieces of cotton flannel for baby wipes (or just use premoistened disposable ones) and fold them into thirds lengthwise before cutting slits ½-inch apart across the top part only – do not cut any of these slits lower than halfway through or they will tear off during washing.
You might also want to stitch over the top of these slits for extra durability. Wad up one cloth wipe and place it in the center of the insert, then do the same with a second wipe on the other side so that you have two wads total.
Now that your diaper cover and inserts are all made, it’s time to put everything together. Put the cover over your baby (or drape it around if they’re not wearing anything), then place an absorbent insert into each leg hole.
If you’re using a prefold or flat as an insert, make sure that its long edge is facing down towards the baby’s bottom – this will ensure maximum absorbency.
Now just fold up the front of the diaper cover it covers the inserts and pins in place. You’re done.
To wash your diapers, just toss them into the washing machine with some detergent and fabric softener (optional) on a cold or warm cycle. Tumble dry on low or hang to air dry.
Be sure to strip your diapers every few months if they start to smell sour or like ammonia; this means that the natural fibers have built up too much bacteria and need a good cleaning.
