Everyone's different, and that's awesome! I think the key here is just knowing the person you're giving the gift too and what they'd prefer. <br /><br />It did take a little bit of time to deconstruct the diaper cake, but no more than taking the tags off all the clothes, or setting up the complicated little chair or stuff like that, so it didn't seem too bad. The rolled up diapers went in one of the extra gift bags for storage (which has been easier to store than the boxes just with how our space is set up). I use the rolled up ones to throw in my diaper bag (which doesn't have pockets), because they seem to get less munched in my diaper bag than the ones straight out of the package.Marquettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09112633611070405863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-66632618914436557522014-02-19T23:04:08.267-07:002014-02-19T23:04:08.267-07:00As a mom of 2 (under 2), these things are my worst...As a mom of 2 (under 2), these things are my worst nightmare. You know how long it took you to put it together? That's how long it takes a very pregnant, very hormonal mom-to-be (or worse, very hormonal, sleep-deprived new mom) to take it apart and then there is no box to store the diapers in and they don't fit baby right because they're been rolled-up, molded, folded, etc. These things are awfully cute, but it is so much work for the new mom. It took me over an hour to disassemble a diaper cake I was given for my first baby and I cried because it was so stressful (hubby was deploying and having to spend an hour taking apart the diaper cake to end up with a pile of rolled up diapers that never did fit DD right and no box to put them in was too much). It would be much nicer to decorate a box or boxes of diapers to look like a cake. It's very cute and I know you worked hard on it, but in the future please remember that the time it takes you to assemble it is how long it will take your friend to disassemble it.Miss Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533749155628794371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-17896702516212198622014-02-18T18:04:15.014-07:002014-02-18T18:04:15.014-07:00I would really like some more detail about how you...I would really like some more detail about how you constructed the cardboard base. My co-worker is having a baby in July and we would love to build something like this for her. (Just to see her fit it into her car, really!) We are looking for ideas for something fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-37165932790961904782014-02-17T16:20:54.119-07:002014-02-17T16:20:54.119-07:00I don't have any unique diaper creations, but ...I don't have any unique diaper creations, but a lady I work with made a Noah's ark (for someone having a baby boy they were naming Noah), and a Cat in the Hat hat (for someone doing a Dr. Seuss nursery)!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538622378507938078noreply@blogger.com
