Here are the basic instructions: Spiral two sets of 15 diapers as you would for a spiral style tiered cake. This will make the wheels. Fold one receiving blanket into a narrow strip and with the wheels propped up into position, feed the blanket in the middle of the wheels. Secure the ends of the blanket to each other (this can be done in several ways, some people will rubberband the ends together and tuck it between the wheels on one side). Fold a second receiving blanket into a narrow strip and feed it through the middle of the front wheel. Bring it up and around a bottle that is placed on top of the wheel (to make the headlight) and secure it with a rubberband or ribbon. Fold the ends of the receiving blanket outward to form handle bars. Bibs or other items can then be placed on top of the bike to create fenders or a seat for your driver. Socks are often placed on the ends of the handle bars for the hand grips. Embellish and decorate as you like.

Here is a video that I found on youtube for when I made my first motorcycle. I changed it up a bit how I did it, but it'll give you a basic idea and you can tweak it as you like.

You will also need two bibs and a pair of baby socks, bottle and ribbon.

I find that the a good quality bib (I get mine from Target) that is stiff/thick hold up really nice!  The you tube video above is really good at showing how to put it all together. 

I'll put up a pic of mine later today.  Good Luck!

I'm the type of person that would do the same sort of thing! I like things to be matchy matchy. =)
