Easily make diapers for your baby dolls with this Free No-Sew Baby Doll Diaper Pattern!
The Air Baby is the size of a newborn, but has an adjustable air pillow tummy that makes it lighter than other baby dolls. If you're expecting a human baby into your family soon, this is the perfect doll to prepare your child for their new sibling. We aren't expecting any babies (yet), so my daughter has just been caring for her baby doll like it's a real baby.
After a few hours of playing "mom", she told me that she needed some diapers for her baby. Since our other baby dolls are a lot smaller, we didn't have any doll diapers that fit. So, I decided to put together a No-Sew Baby Doll Diaper pattern that kids can make on their own for larger baby dolls like this one!
Download and print out the No-Sew Baby Doll Diaper Pattern. Cut it out, and tape the pieces together as directed. Use some fabric that won't fray (I prefer felt, fleece, or flannel), and fold it in half. Line the pattern up on the fold.
Some things you should know before downloading:
*Artsy-Fartsy Mama printables are for PERSONAL USE ONLY (home, school, libraries, etc).
*You may NOT modify, sell, redistribute, or claim the design as your own.
*Please do not remove the credits/watermarks.
*If you'd like to share this project, you may use ONE photo and credit must be given to Artsy-Fartsy Mama and linked back to this post.
Use a washable fabric pen to trace the pattern. If you'd like to make a diaper that you can sew, just add 1/4" all the way around for a seam allowance.
Grab some fabric scissors and carefully cut through both layers of fabric. Just don't cut through the fold!
Open up the diaper and lay it down with the longer edge at the top. Lay the baby down over it, and bring the bottom end up. If the tabs seem too long, you can trim them down.
We had some adhesive-backed Velcro circles on hand, and placed the soft sides on the front of the diaper, and the hooked sides on the outer tabs. If you don't have adhesive-backed, you can use some regular and stick it on the diaper with some fabric glue.
To close the diaper, bring the back tabs around to the front and press the Velcro pieces together. You can add more dots of Velcro along the front to make it adjustable, or use a strip of Velcro across the front instead.
These diapers are so quick to make, and there are so many fun fabrics out there! Kids will love being able to make them all on their own, and I think it will definitely help them to feel more independent and self confident.
My daughter is in love with this sweet baby (that she has finally named "Alex"). It was a lot of fun teaching her to make these diapers all on her own, and seeing her take care of her baby. For more baby dolls and information, be sure to visit the Baby's First website and on Facebook!
