Well, duh.

I don't know why it never dawned on me to make homemade baby wipes until now.  So, I did.  I found a recipe in The Duggars: 20 and Counting that honestly hit me in the head.  How easy!

What you need:

1 roll of paper towels (they recommended Bounty, and they were on sale tonight and I had a coupon....SCORE!)

2 cups water


2 tablespoons baby oil


1 tablespoon rubbing alcohol


1 tablespoon baby wash (optional)


1 ice cream bucket or other storage container large enough.


Here's the details.....  SO EASY!

Mix together your liquids.

Cut the paper towel roll in half across the center.  I used a bread knife, they suggested an electric knife but I don't have one.

Put half of the paper towels into the container, standing upright.  Pour the liquid over the paper towels, seal for 30 minutes.  Remove the cardboard center, and the center of the roll will come out as well!  Ta-da!  Baby wipes!!!

 

Cost of a package of 72ct baby wipes in the store: $2-$2.50 more/less depending on coupons and sale.

Cost of doing it myself:  Maybe... 95c for 118.  (59ct paper towel X2).

I can't wait to try them out tomorrow on Teagan!
