Make Your Own Cloth Diaper Wipes

******

Buying disposable wipes can be get pretty pricey. There is just no need to do that when making your own cloth wipes is this easy. Cloth wipes are gentle on your baby, easy to make, and they save you money! They can also be easily laundered with your cloth diapers. Just moisten them with plain water or a homemade wipe solution before use.

First, decide what kind of fabric you want to use. You can select from many different diapering fabrics like sherpa, hemp fleece, flannel, and velour. If you use a thicker fabric you can make one-layer wipes. You can use thinner fabrics for two-layer wipes. Get creative and choose some fun fabrics and prints.

Next you need to decide what size to make your wipes. You can make them any size you want but traditionally they are either 8×8 or 4×8. The smaller wipes fit in commercial wipes containers easily, and the larger wipes fit when folded in half.

 

Easy Homemade Wipes  - One-layer wipes

  • Cut your fabric into squares or rectangles in the size you selected. You can leave the corners square or use a quarter to help you round them.

  • Zig-zag or serge all the way around the edge.

  • Trim the threads and you’re done! Congrats! You made a cloth diaper wipe!

Tip: Use different thread colors or variegated thread for a more decorative look.

 

Moderately Easy Homemade Wipes  - Two-layer wipes

  • Cut your fabric into squares or rectangles in the size you selected. You can leave the corners square or use a quarter to help you round them.

  • Put layers together with "right" sides facing out on each side.

  • Line up the edges of the layers and pin all the way around the wipe.

  • Zig-zag or serge all the way around the edge

  • Trim the thread and your done!

Now that your a pro get busy and make some more and completely replace disposable wipes forever!
