I was assigned the task of making a diaper cake and a matching banner. Diaper cakes are not my specialty, but as a bunny lover and someone born in the year of the rabbit, I was excited for the challenge to create something around her Peter Rabbit theme! The Tale of Peter Rabbit include lots of stories with gardens, so I knew I wanted to incorporate some garden elements. I found myself most inspired by the Peter Rabbit and wheelbarrow diaper cakes I found on Pinterest. Jenna already had this Peter Rabbit plush listed on her registry so I committed to incorporating it into her diaper cake. I ended up making a wheelbarrow diaper cake with Peter Rabbit sitting inside! Thoughtful details like the band of Peter Rabbit fabric, gingham ribbon bows, and mini watering can made this diaper cake even sweeter! I LOVE how it turned out and was thrilled by how well it was received by Jenna and her guests.
To tie into the theme, I also wrapped the tray in a strip of Peter Rabbit fabric. I folded over and pressed the raw edges, then used double-sided scrapbook tape to attach it to the blanket-wrapped tray. Alternatively you could use a wide ribbon or leave it plain.

For the handles, I used two diapers and two jumbo craft sticks. I wrapped one diaper around the end of a craft stick and secured it in place with a rubber band. Repeat for the second handle. I finished the handles by wrapping them in the same two wired ribbons I used for the wheel, then attached matching bows for added charm.
Place the wheelbarrow tray and wheel onto a foam board and draw a larger rectangle around them for the grass. Cut out this rectangle using the edge of a ruler and a craft knife. Next I folded the striped green blanket and placed the foam board in the center on a diagonal. Then I folded over the corners of the blanket and used masking tape to attach it to the bottom of the board. This allows the board to be more flat and also gives it fun diagonal stripes!
Roll the remaining diapers into tight cylinders, securing each with an elastic band in the middle. Insert the diapers vertically into the wheelbarrow until the tray is full and the plush animal is secured. Cover the diaper cake with Easter grass, sticking some in the spaces between diapers.
My worst fear had been confirmed, The Velveteen Rabbit is the story that instilled in my a deep, long-lasting fear of becoming sick, because then all of my stuffed animals would be BURNED. That was the takeaway message, to childhood me. You get sick? BURN ALL YOUR FAVORITE THINGS. BURN THEM TO THE GROUND.
In comes Deus Ex Machina Fairy, who takes a cue from the Blue Fairy in Pinocchio and turns the Velveteen Rabbit into a real rabbit. He hops off to join the other rabbits (who made fun of him earlier in the story, because literally everyone in this universe is awful), to make lots of rabbit babies with his brand new body parts and then be eaten by a fox.
I am gonna up the ante here a bit. My association with the Velveteen Rabbit is its presence as a plot point in a lifetime movie back in the day wherein the protagonist has been injured in such a way that her mouth is (burned? sewn?) shut, rendering her mute. I think it was supposed to be touching, but actually it was the worst thing ever.
I perform the story of the Velvatine Rabbit to 4 year old children at birthday parties and at library shows and couod not be farther apart from your trail of thoughts on this book.
The way I present it is fairy tale themed not negative and cruel as per your recollecyion all those years ago. Each to their own point of view. 152ee80cbc
