Reusable Baby Wipes

Materials

• Cotton receiving blanket (jersey fabric preferred because it doesn’t fray)

• Baby wipe solution (your choice)

Make It!

1. Cut the receiving blanket into small squares.

2. Stack the fabric squares neatly inside your storage container.

3. Pour the baby wipe solution over the fabric—just enough to saturate.

4. Wring out any excess liquid.

5. Store with the lid on to keep them fresh.
