Homemade Baby Wipes!

Ok, this has nothing to do with CTMH, but it is really cool and I thought I would share. I have to credit my sister Jennie Murphy with this idea, and I don't know who she got it from, but this is what you need:

Materials:
(2) Glad or Rubbermaid Containers (big enough to hold a toilet paper roll)
(1) Container of Coconut Oil (I got some organic from Wal-Mart)
(1) Roll of Bounty Paper Towels (Get the kind where you can select your own size towel)
(4) Cups of water.
(1) Really good cutting knife

This is what you do:

Cut the paper towel roll in half.

Put 1/2 of the roll in 1 container, and the other 1/2 in the other container

Mix together 2 cups of water and 1 tsp of coconut oil

*You can also add a few drops of essential oil at this point (think lavender or something soothing!)

Pour mixture into container with paper towel, add lid, and turn upside down.

Do it again for the next container.

After about 5 minutes you should be able to pull the center of the roll out of the paper towels and just make sure you know where the start of the roll is. Voila! You are done!

The coconut oil lasts forever and can be used for all kinds of things from cooking, skin treatments, or more baby wipes! Your cost per tub after your initial set will be about 75 cents. Much better than the $2.99 for 80 wipes and you are making over 200!

I found a website with other recipes and other types you can take a look at called Full Circle Baby

I hope you enjoy! Within the next week, check back for redone clipboards, and some cute recipe books I am making with the new CTMH catalog papers!

Have a great week!
