Make your own Baby Wipes

Step 1: Cut a paper towel roll in half. I saw through mine with a serrated knife

Step 2: Pull the cardboard tube out of the middle and discard or save for a craft project

Step 3: In a round container with airtight lid pour 1 1/2 cups of water, and…water.jpg

Two tablespoons of baby oil, and…

Two tablespoons of Baby Wash and swish around with the lid on till combined

Step 4: Put the paper towel roll in, snap the lid on and flip upside down. Let all the wipe solution soak in.

Step 5: Once the solution has soaked in you can set the wipes upright and store wherever. Make sure the lid is tightly sealed.

Step 6:
To use the wipes, pull up from the center and tear off at the sheet line.

This solution could be used with reusable cloth wipes as well.

Very cool idea! For a second there I thought you were talking about fabric wipies. And there’s something about that I just can’t do.

You are so brilliant! I’m sending this to a non-blogging friend of mine who’s actually ambitious enough to do it. =P

I had a friend who always used these. They worked very well. We use old baby wash cloths. Seems like I got 100’s of these each time I had a kid! :)

Very cool idea. I’m going to send it to my sister who has kids young enough for wipes! We love new money saving ideas.
