Diaper Wipe Solution DIY

Diaper Wipe Solution

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon almond, grapeseed, or olive oil 
• 1 tablespoon liquid castile soap 
• 1 cup distilled or filtered water 
• 2 drops chamomile (Roman) essential oil 
• 3 drops lavender essential oil 
• 1/4 teaspoon Vitamin E oil as a natural preservative 
• Cloth wipes you have made or washcloth

Directions: 
Combine all ingredients, adding water first to avoid creating lots of bubbles. There are many different ways to use and store homemade baby wipes and solution. Choose the method that works best for you:

• Place cloth wipes in a re-purposed baby wipe container and pour solution over wipes until moist, but not drenched. (You may have solution left over.)
• Add solution to a spray bottle. Shake well before each use. Spray solution onto cloth wipes before using. You can also spray directly onto child’s diaper area, then wipe with a dry homemade wipe.
• Add wipe solution to a squirt bottle. Shake before use, and squirt directly onto cloth wipes.

Remember that homemade solutions spoil faster than commercial preparations. Make the wipes in small batches so you don’t have to worry about spoilage. Use wipes/solution within a week or two.

DIY Baby Wipes

 our homemade baby wipes.  our baby gets diaper rash from regular wipes; even the sensitive kind.

You will need:

1 roll VIVA paper towels (they are the most cloth-like), cut in half

2 tsp  baby oil

  1 tsp baby wash

2 drops Tea tree oil

1-1/3 cup boiled water

an air tight container to store them in

First, boil 1 1/3 cup of water. This will kill anything that might end up growing on your wipes.

While the water is boiling cut the roll of paper towels in half. I have found that a ceramic knife works best for this. I got mine at IKEA for $40 and I love it. If you don't have one, a good chef's knife will do, but it was much harder for me to cut that way.

I pull out the cardboard center so it won't waste any of the mixture.

Once the water has boiled for a few minutes, remove from heat and add 2 tsp baby oil, 1 tsp baby wash and 2 drops tea tree oil. Mix lightly.

Put the half roll of paper towels in the container (save the other half for the next batch) and slowly pour the mixture over the top. Cover.

The wipes are ready when they have cooled.

These are soft, sturdy, and inexpensive.

The tea tree oil can be a little expensive ($7) but it will last a long time since you are only using 2 drops. The tea tree oil is a natural disinfectant and will keep your wipes from growing mold. It also gives them a nice fresh scent.

Easy Diaper Cake Instructions for Baby Shower Gifts

Diaper cake instructions are really more of a suggestion than a defined process. Feel free to customize the items in your diaper cake centerpiece to fit your budget and the needs of the recipient.

Dana Hinders

Diaper cakes are popular as baby shower gifts because they are practical and can be used as a centerpiece for the party. You can buy diaper cakes from various online sources, but it's not too difficult to make your own.
The exact supplies you will need for a diaper cake depend upon how large you want your cake to be and how much money you want to spend on the project. At a minimum, however, you’ll need diapers, rubber bands, clear stretch jewelry cord, ribbon, a stuffed animal, and a sheet of cardboard or a cake plate to display your finished baby diaper cake on. You may wish to include rattles, board books, teething rings, baby wash, baby lotion, diaper rash cream, baby wipes, or baby bibs in your diaper cake centerpiece as well.
Diapers

Use newborn or size 1 diapers to create your diaper cake.

Dana Hinders

Open your package of diapers. One at a time, roll the diapers up tight. Start from the front of the diaper and roll it toward the back. Secure with a rubber band. While most diaper cake directions specify using disposable diapers, you can use the same process to make a cloth diaper cake if that is what the parents would prefer. Diaper cake ideas are intended to be flexible so you can adapt the project to fit your needs.

Your Diaper Cake Centerpiece

A diaper cake centerpiece includes a special surprise on the inside layer.

Dana Hinders

Cut a length of clear stretch jewelry cord to the size of an adult woman’s necklace. (You can actually use a beaded necklace for this step if you want to include a gift for mom in the baby shower diaper cake, but this isn’t necessary.) Place items such as baby lotion, baby wipes, or larger baby toys on your cardboard and in the middle of the stretch cord circle. Insert the rolled up diapers one by one until you’ve created a circular shape for your diaper cake centerpiece.

A pretty ribbon bow adds interest to your baby diaper cake.

Add a second layer of rolled up disposable diapers, making sure you can’t see any of the inner rolls on the outside of your baby diaper cake. Use a piece of thick ribbon to cover all of the exposed rubber bands and tie a decorative bow around the completed baby shower diaper cake layer.

A unique baby shower diaper cake includes items such as board books, rattles, teething rings, and pacifiers.

Dana Hinders

Place a length of clear stretch cord around the exposed items you used to start the bottom layer of your diaper cake. Insert rolled diapers to form the second tier of the baby shower diaper cake. Tie with ribbon when you are finished.
by Step

Finish off your diaper cake with the stuffed animal of your choice.

Dana Hinders

Top your diaper cake with the stuffed animal of your choice. A teddy bear is always a suggested option in instructions for how to make a diaper cake step by step, but you could choose something that coordinates with the baby’s nursery theme if you wish. For example, a stuffed monkey would be a good diaper cake topper if the baby has a jungle nursery theme and you want to make a safari diaper cake. Baby boy diaper cakes could include a pop and push toy car instead of a stuffed animal.
