Noah's Ark Diaper Cake InstructionsThe story behind these diaper cake instructions below: Our readers wanted to know how Artemisia made her cute & clever Noah's Ark Diaper Cake. We asked her and she generously shared her detailed instructions with us! Artemisia, THANK YOU for inspiring us (step-by-step) with your creativity!! 
 Cut out the circle for the front and back  Cut the circle in half  Cut out the middle rectangle section, make sure it is long enough to extend the length of the half circles. Scotch tape is actually easier and quicker than using glue.  Align the corner of the half circle with the long end of the middle  Place a piece of scotch tape to fasten the edges of the front and middle together.  Continue taping the edge together, you'll need to bend the middle rectangular piece to match the curvature of the half circle.  It is easier to place pieces of scotch tape along the half circle edge all at once  Then as you curve the rectangular section, you'll just fasten the tape pieces one by one to secure the edges together.  This is what the completed side will look like. It only takes a few minutes!  Then begin doing the same thing to the other side.  Continue taping until both sides are done.  Once the ark frame is done, then begin gluing the felt to the ark, as Artemisia describes above. You could use brown or tan felt to look like a wooden color. Then roll diapers and place in the ark, or fill with other baby items.  Then you could cut out a rectangular deck to cover the diapers and fasten it with tape - this would give you a nice flat platform for you to decorate the top of the ark with. Or you could just decorate on top of the diapers, which is how it appears that Artemisia did it, because you can see the diapers underneath the animals on the ark.
