Electric Stove Burner Covers

I love decorative stove burner covers! I have quite a few of them over the years. They serve a dual purpose. When placed over a set of messy stove burners, they conceal the mess. Aside from that they also create an extra workspace for meal preparation when the stove top is not in use.

I'm loving my new rooster stove burner covers that I got from Walmart. It's time to get rid of my "Apples" stove covers. I like how they complement with my stove decors.

#DYI | Diaper Cake

Diaper cakes are a unique baby shower gift idea. I've been making diaper cakes for friends since 2007. Diaper cakes are fun and easy to make. A friend of mine just gave birth recently to a healthy baby boy! She supposed to have a baby shower party but the baby came 3 weeks early before the due date. 

Anyways, here are the materials for making the diaper cake: Diaper, stapler, scotch tape, baby powder, ribbons, glue, pizza pan and stuffed animal. All these for less than $20.00. Hey, I'm cheap!

 You need at least 80 pieces of diaper to make a 3 tier. First, roll all 80 diapers and tape them individually.  Position the baby powder bottle in the middle of the pan. Start placing the diaper around the baby powder bottle until the first layer is done. Wrap it with ribbon and staple it. Then, continue until you get to the third layer.

 I like to personalize my ribbon, so I glued a small ribbon over the big one for a dramatic look. 

 Decorate! I then added some bows and stuffed animal on top.

The stuffed animal is tied up securely...lol! The secret? Put a diaper in between the legs and tie it with a rubber band. Trust me, it works!
