I Made My Own Baby Wipes!!!

My homemade fabric softener turned out so good...I decided to give homemade baby wipes a shot.  I am so freaking excited.  (Hey...it's the small things)  I am all about saving money!...and all about passing on my tips!!  I did a little researching online for a "recipe" (I looked at two different recipes)...one called for baby oil and one did not.

The ingredients:

2 cups water (you will have to adjust the amount of water depending on the absorbency of your the papertowels that you are going to use - for instance - my magic number turns out to be around 2 1/4 cups)
2 tablespoons baby oil
2 tablespoons baby shampoo or baby wash
1 roll of papertowels - (this is where I got particular...pretty sure I found the best papertowels for the job)

I found the PERFECT container at Dollar Tree

1.  Cut the roll of papertowels directly in half...or as close as you can get it...



My brilliant husband thought of the perfect way to measure
halfway on the roll.  He's so quick!!



We used a large serrated knife to cut the roll of papertowels in half.
A little messy - so prepare yourself.  : )
I read somewhere you could use a saw to do this part of the job...

Put the water, baby shampoo/wash and baby oil (if you choose to use it) in your container - stir gently to mix ingredients.  Pull the cardboard out of the middle of the dry roll of papertowels and then stuff it inside the container.  Let it soak overnight or for a few hours - you'll know when they are done.

I'm fairly happy with the way that these turned out...there are a couple of things that I don't like about these - like how they are perforated, so they are kind of hard to "one hand"...but I can look past that, seeing as they are going to save money in the long run.

Let me know what you think.  Will you give it a shot???
