Hi,

That's a lovely idea. I've never made one but found some pics for you to give you some ideas:-

I reckon you just pile the nappies nicely in tiers and wrap in cellaphane? Maybe pop in a couple of packs of wipes, muslins, vests and/or dummies (if your sis/bro will use them) in between the layers/nappies?

I would definitely check though that they plan to use disposable nappies (some people use washable nappies) and if so, what kind and also if they have lots of the newborn size and you might be better making it with the next size up. You wouldn't want all those nappies to go to waste!

Good luck - make sure you post pics!

thanks for the replies.

what i did was get large elastic bandsand - for the top teir i rolled 7 sixe 1 nappies titghtly inside the band then repeated this for tier 2 and then put another band around it and put another 15 size 1 nappies into that to make layer 2, and for the bottom layer i had 3 rounds of nappies all size 2 so it looked like a stacked cake, then i put in little blue sleep suits, bibs, muslin etc and on the top as a topper i put a little blue hat - it looked great but then i had a better idea!!
i had bought a fleecy baby blanket so i used that as the centre and rolled the nappies around that securing with the big elastic bands and built it up to 3 layers and decorated it with the sleep suits and ribbons.

i have taken a photo but have no idea how to upload!!!
