new way to make tote bags!

My in laws have a small farm with gaot chicken and ducks. They all have to eat :) so I have been upcycling the feed bags. I have made aprons and tote bags.

Baby Wipes updated.

Yes I have been posting about this a lot but I have finally got it down and love the wipes.

Paper towels, baby oil, water, and a wipe container.

Cut the paper towels in half.

I no longer cut the rolls in half at this point

My grandpa was trying to be helpful and help cut so I ended up with jagged edges. It has been recommended that you use an electric knife. (i didnt)

Fold like an accordion.

 Leave the towels attached, Fold each towel in half and at the perforation like an accordion until you have enough to fill the wipe container. (about half the roll)

Update: I leave the roll intact, fold it like an accordion until it is tall enough to fill the container, I then use scissors and cut through the middle about a half inch at a time. That makes enough for 2 containers, what is left makes enough for 1 more container when you stack the 2 sides together. 

Put the folded towels in the container. Add 1 teaspoon baby oil to 1 cup water. Stir. Pour over wipes in the container. Let stand for at least a half hour.


They work great and my baby girl is now rash free :)
