Things are looking pretty around here. Perfect weather coming soon! And just about the perfect time to get some teacup bird feeders made.

I needed a last-minute gift cause yeah I procrastinate on things like that! And since I love to thrift shop I have plenty of cups and saucers around and was able to whip this up in a day!

Now you can't wait till the last minute, last minute cause you have to let the glue dry but at least 24 hrs in advance should do. Is it not the most adorable bird feeder ever?! I had to snag a picture!

You can get the full teacup bird feeder tutorial here and make one too. Don't forget Mother's Day and Teacher Appreciation Day is coming real soon and these would make fantastic gifts for mamas and teachers! Yeah?

Is this card cute or what?!

Don't you hate when you forget to buy a card? I sure do! It's a good thing I have my trusty crafty stuff cause I was able to make this adorable card with items I had on hand. And it's way cuter than any store bought card. I found this tutorial a looooong time ago and knew it would come in handy one day. Check it out and all it's cuteness!

It was the perfect card to go with the diaper cake! And I love the fact that when you change up the paper you will get a totally different look. Thanks Laurin for sharing your tutorial!

Have you seen these diaper cakes? I've seen them online upwards around $80! Yikes! Wanted to make one for a friend and boy am I happy with the way it turned out.

I found this great tutorial here from Susie Stamp a Lot. It leaves you with what you see below. She does go on in another tutorial how she decorated it but I wanted mine a bit different.

I wrapped receiving blankets around each layer. Use clothes pins to hold them in place just long enough to get a ribbon tied around them like below. First fold and iron blankets to the width of the diapers.

The bottom layer was too big around for just one blanket to cover it so I used two like so on the back side.

Next use some paper shred to cover the diapers. You could leave them exposed if you like but I wanted them covered.

I added a rubber duck to the top too! Sooooo cute!

Lastly I placed it in a large cello bag and tied a bow!

I'm kinda in love with it!
It was well received at the shower! One lady even asked if they could place orders for them! Fun! Can you believe there is even baby powder and a bottle on the inside?!!
Have you ever made a diaper cake?
