Diaper Decorating Tips
Before you start writing, here are some tips for decorating diapers:
| Tip | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Use permanent markers | Regular pens and pencils can smudge or wash off. |
| Write on the front | The back of the diaper is where the sticky tabs are, so it's best to avoid that area. |
| Be creative with your design | You can write in different colors, sizes, or even draw simple pictures. |
