Homemade Wet Wipes
Homemade wet wipes are cheap, easy to make, and gentler on baby's skin than store bought wipes!
Prep Time10 mins
Yield: 2 wipes containers
Cost: $4.00
Materials
- 1 roll Bounty Select-a-Size Paper Towel
- 2 c Water
- 2 T Baby Wash
- 2 T Baby Oil
- 2 Cylinder Containers (6.5 in tall, 6.5 in diameter)
Instructions
- Cut the roll of paper towel in half using a serrated bread knife or electric knife.
- Heat up the water for one minute in the microwave.
- Mix baby oil and baby wash into the water.
- Pour half of the mixture into one of the cylinder containers and put one half of the paper towel roll into it, cut side down. Repeat with the other container and roll of paper towel.
- Put the lids on the containers and flip them upside down. Make sure to seal the lids tightly before turning the containers upside down so the mixture doesn't leak out. Within a few minutes, the mixture will soak through the paper towel rolls completely.
- Take out the cardboard center, then pull on the center piece of the roll to get each roll of wet wipes started dispensing from the container.
