If you’ve made the decision to cloth diaper, using cloth wipes is a no brainer. But even if you use disposables, this quick no-sew cloth wipes project can save you a good chunk of change on baby wipes.
Done with diapers? Congratulations! These are amazing and frugal as DIY reusable tissues, face wipes, family cloth (ie cloth toilet paper), and wet wipes for big kids (and grownups, too)! Grab your extra receiving blankets or worn out cotton clothes. Lemme show you how to make the easiest no-sew cloth wipes and tissues!
You’ll want to choose a fabric that has a soft texture with a substantial weight, like flannel. Flimsy cloth won’t work so well here. The dozen extra receiving blankets you somehow acquired are perfect for this project. And those jammie pants with a hole in the crotch work great, too. The idea is that it should be soft enough for tender bottoms and noses, but with a bit of “grip” to wipe off messes.
You will need:
receiving blankets, worn out flannel pants or shirts, or other medium weight cotton cloth
pinking shears
ruler or measuring tape
Instructions:
For receiving blankets:
Lay the fabric out flat and then fold in half. Fold in half again to make a skinny rectangle. Now fold the long strip in thirds. This will give you 12 squarish wipes of about 8 or 9 inches.
Cut along all the folds with a pair of sharp pinking shears.
For pants, shirts, etc:
Cut along the seams so that your material can lie flat.
Using your tape measure or ruler, mark out a square of approximately 8 or 9 inches. Cut with pinking shears. Now you can use this wipe as a guide to cut out the rest of the squares. Don’t worry too much about getting it perfect.
Notes:
Wash and dry your new wipes and expect a bit of fraying the first few times. Simply pull off and discard the strings- this will stop after a few washes.
How to use:
The wipes work best with a bit of moisture. Plain water is ok, but a solution with a little plant based oil and gentle soap is even better. You just spray or dab on the solution and wipe away! I’ve always made my own using a simple recipe which I’m excited to share with you NEXT WEEK.
How to store:
I keep mine in little baskets around the house and at the changing table. Anywhere you’d keep tissues or wipes! I especially like them in the kitchen to wipe sticky hands and faces.
Thanks for watching!
