How to make a diaper bassinet with wheels?

If you’re expecting, or you’ve just welcomed your little bundle of joy into the world, congratulations! You’re probably already juggling lots of new responsibilities and trying to make sure everything is perfect for your new arrival. One thing that can help is having a safe and convenient place for them to sleep. A bassinet is a great option – especially when it’s made out of diapers!

Making one yourself not only saves money but also allows you to customize the look to suit your decor theme perfectly. With some diapers and basic essentials like glue gun, staples or duct tape making this would be as easy as pie.

The Materials Required

Before we delve into how-to-do details lets set-up materials on our working table (Table 1).

Table 1: Materials Checklist

Sl.No Items
1 Diapers
2 Large cardboard
3 Stapler
4 Duct Tape
5 Glue gun

Making the Base

First things first – let’s start with creating the base. This will form the foundation from which we create our diaper bassinet with wheels (Headings 1).

Step 1: Choosing Your Cardboard

Choose two large pieces of cardboard in line with each other end-to-end (you may overlap if it doesn’t meet). Cut curves at both ends in-line symmetrically.

Step 2: Stapling Them Together

Ensure proper alignment between both cardboards before stapling them firmly together all around where they meet up unlined areas using sturdy stable pins ensuring good grip positioning

Step 3: Forming Rails Along Base Edges

Fold excessed edges lengthwise from top downwards squeezing tightly along-lined area then use duct tapes lengthwise on cardboard.

Step 4: Adding Wheel Base

Position wheel base at center point atop board ensuring that it is securely fastened before proceeding to the next step. The wheel base will provide support and convenience making your bassinet mobile (Headings 2).

Building the Basket

Finally, it’s time for the fun part – building the basket out of diapers!

Step 1: Roll Your Diapers

Start folding one diaper in half lengthwise so that front touches back while keeping rolled ends upright; roll from bottom toward top until reaching diaper’s waistline then repeat with others till required amount reached

Step 2: Creating Stacks

Place around ten folded diapers together flatly in a stack then use duct tape or glue gun to secure them tightly by wrapping both ends firmly or four places symmetrically alongside its circumference

Step 3: Starting From Bottom Up

Take one stack and place it on its side inside-out facing upwards leaving more than an inch extra paper. Place another small-in-size cardboards between stacks as reinforcement or simply coil papers into roll thin enough giving room for inserting hands through when done all over with stacking (repeat this process if you wish higher height). Then starting from your bottom up continue layering more stacks upon those already placed till desired height achieved taking care not to create gaps when compressing tiers togetherishy.

Step 4- Folding Edges

Fold excess middle section edges down enclosing filled-diaper-cardboard-base’s circumference area finally sealing off any openings using clip pins taping around strongly whilst still preserving structure integrity followed by smoothing out wrinkles while also applying even pressure throughout surface areas until well adjusted to conform enclosed region.

Attaching Wheels

Now that we’re done constructing our bassinet, let’s make sure our wheels are attached properly so they don’t wobble (Headings 3)

Prep Work:

Make adequate holes along base paper line for wheel placement

Step 1: Placing Attachments

Grab bottom edge of wheel brackets and put it on slot outside attaching it by fastening screws or duct tape onto cardboard ensuring that there is equal distance between the wheels

Step 2: Attaching The Wheel

Insert your wheel making sure that its hole lines up with bracket mounting hardware; then finally attach remaining two attachments as above in same way using screwdriver.

Wrapping Up

Assembling a diaper bassinet with wheels may seem a little intimidating at first, but hopefully, our step-by-step guide has helped make things clear (Headings 4). Once you have all the materials listed above, you should be able to construct your bassinet without too much trouble.

Remember to take care during every step of the process and use extra reinforcements if necessary (you can never be too safe!). Above all – enjoy yourself! This project doesn’t have to be stressful – so why not get creative with some fun ideas like decorating it according to baby’s favorite cartoon character?
