Make your own wipes!

In this house - we use wipes - for everything!! So when I heard about making our own for cheap I was on board....while the glue and paint are drying on our Advent Calendar, I thought I would show how we made our own wipes.  I know there are other blogs out there that have shown this - but this is an account of our experience!

 You will need : 1 roll of paper towels.  2 cups of distilled water (or boil 2 cups and then let them cool to room temperature).  2 tablespoons of baby wash and 1 table spoon of baby oil. One container with a lid - mine is a little excessive but its what I had! Total spent - $2.20 to make 204 wipes.  204 wipes store bought = $10.00 or more depending on brand.  

1 roll of paper towels - we liked using the Viva because they are soft.  I got the select a size roll for $2.20.  Baby oil and baby wash - which most of you probably already have!  

Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut your roll in half.  The blog I saw had the roll all pretty and clean when it was cut - mine did not.  :)  Here is what it actually looked like...and it only got worse.  Take the middle card board peice out.  Set one half aside for next time.

 Place the baby wash, oil and water in your container.  Place one half of your paper towel roll (cut side down) in the bottom and close the lid.  Let it sit until all the liquid is absorbed.  Turn your whole container up side down and let it sit this way for 10-20 minutes.  Turn right side up and enjoy!!
