TUTORIAL FOR DIAPER BIKE

Materials:

34 Diapers, size1 (17 for each tier)

8" Round cake pan or similar shaped utensil/box

2 Large rubber bands

2 Receiving blankets

2 Bibs

1 Pair of socks or mittens

1 Baby bottle

2 Washcloth

1 Stuff Toy (optional)

Pins & Scissors

Decorative Ribbons (as per your design)

PROCESS:

Arrange diapers in pan as shown in pictures step-by-step

Should look like this when completed. 

Make sure the gap between each diaper is equal.

choose appropriate size of rubber-bands, I used bigger ones

Now using the rubber-band, hold all the diapers together in place

like this; when inside pan

take out gently and should look like this

make two tiers, same process

Wrap each tire with ribbon/s. 

Secure ribbon/s with pins; 

these diapers will be used later so we don't use any kind of adhesive.

Fold the first receiving blanket in half

now roll it as shown in pictures

*closer look*

after rolling, secure it with pin

Place the blanket through the tire opening

this will be the front tire

attach blanket to back tire as shown in pictures

Pull both ends of the blanket (following the arrows) 

to make sure the both tires are tight as well as the blanket. 

Not too tight but firm. This will hold the entire bike.

Now take the second blanket and repeat same process of rolling.

When rolled, insert it through the front tire; this will be the handle.

Rolling a washcloth around baby bottle is optional; 

it adds details to bike's headlight

Insert the bottle between handles.

Secure both handles together with small rubber band 

and wrap a washcloth for pretty look.

Place a small thick sheet to give a firm look to the handles; *optional*

Insert a tissue in socks/mittens to have firm look

Attach socks to handles

Place the bibs over tire.

Final look should be as shown in pic 29

Now just place the rider on bike!!

We are done!!!!
