A Mighty B How-To

With two kids still in diapers, we go through a LOT of wipes in the Rudd household. Wipes are EXPENSIVE and were eating up a big chunk of our grocery budget. So recently I indulged my inner Martha and attempted to make my own baby wipes. It was actually pretty easy. And surprisingly they work really well - so well, in fact, that I haven't bought wipes since! So now I will share my frugal wipe-making technique with you. (With the help of the cutest assistant ever!)

Step 1: Gather your materials.

You'll need baby wash, baby oil, a roll of paper towel, and a container that seals. (Yes, this is a wipe container that I 'scrapbooked'. This was done during my nesting period of pregnancy. Don't judge me. :-) )

Step Two: Take the paper towel and cut the roll in half. Remove the inner cardboard tube and pull the towels out from the middle like so:

Step Three: In your container, mix 1 1/2 cups of warm water with two tbs of baby wash and one tbs of baby oil. It helps if your "stirrer" is adorable:

Last step - place the paper towel in the container, close the lid, and flip upside down. Leave in your sink (because it may leak a little) for approximately 10 minutes to allow the fluid to soak into the paper towel.

I used Kleenex Viva towels as the are strong, really soft, and were on sale at Target. :-)

Let me know how it works for you!!
