DIY baby wipes

If you young kids who are still in diapers, this DIY project is for you. Here is a way to make your own baby wipes, compliments of Chasing Tiny Feet.

1 roll of Bounty (or another thick, quality brand) paper towels
2-1/4 cups of water
2 Tbsp. baby bath or shampoo
1 Tbsp. baby oil
  1. Cut the roll of towels in half (an electric knife works well) and place in a container.  You can also separate the towels into a neat pile that will be ready to use.
  2. Mix all liquid ingredients together and pour over top of the towels.  
  3. Let the liquid absorb into the towels.  When ready to use, remove the cardboard center (if you left it in) and pull the towels from the middle.
She reuses all the store bought wipe containers to store the homemade wipes in.  She puts the recipe to the front of the wipes container so it is easy to find when she needs to make them again. Of course if you don't have any that store this size roll, you could also make your own using a tupperware type container as in the pic below.
