One of the items I've seen a lot of are fabric covered diaper wipe cases. For some reason I felt as though I just had to have one. I didn't want to order one because a) I'm cheap and b) I hate paying for shipping.
So...
I started looking up tutorials on YouTube and came across several and you know what? Covering a diaper wipe case with fabric isn't so hard.
And it's cheap!
I have had the supplies for this project for a few days now, and decided I'd try it out this afternoon while Jordan was napping.
Here are the two I made today. The pink one was first and I went a little hot glue happy or something.

Want to make one too?
Alrighty then, let me show you what I did.
You'll need some fabric, 3/8" grosgrain ribbon in a co-ordinating colour, a hot glue gun and the diaper wipe case.

I put the case on the fabric and cut around it.

Then I squeezed a thin line of hot glue along the length of the case, just above the lip, and pressed my fabric against it. Once that dried I did the same on the other side and pulled the fabric taut and pressed it against the glue.

Don't worry about your rough edge here. It will be covered up by the ribbon.
Flip it over and do the same on the bottom.

Pretty easy so far, isn't it?
Next, run a thin line of hot glue just above the lip of the case, then press your ribbon against it.
Watch your fingers! That glue is hot.

All done!
At this point you could hot glue on a bow or embellishments to fancy it up, or just leave it simple and sweet.

This is a really inexpensive craft to do and the result is pretty cute.
Total cost to make: approximately $5.00
Total time to make: 30-40 minutes
Oh My Goodness! That is so cute. I would have never thought to do that.
ReplyDeleteI've wondered how they made them. One of the things I have not looked for on YouTube, though. They're gorgeous... thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!! This looks super sharp... I had never seen one before!

Very cute, but can I just say one thing? Why do some people call them diaper wipes and not baby wipes? I mean, which one do you really wipe with them :-)
ReplyDeleteKate! I love it! This is right up my alley! Thanks for sharing... I love share-ers. :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, I definitely will be making one!!! I never knew they were SO easy! :)
