   An alternative is to use a baby bottle as the center of the top layer. , Place them around the center diaper (or baby bottle) so that they are all evenly spaced.
   
   Keep them together by placing a large rubber band around all of the diapers.

   Roll up 15 more diapers and place them around the centerpiece.
   
   Secure them with a large rubber band. , Place a rolled up diaper or a gift (perhaps a toy or rolled up piece of baby clothing) in the center.
