Materials:
1 roll strong paper towel (VIVA Ultra is great) 2 T. baby shampoo (for sensitive skin use Mennen Baby Bath) 2 1/4 cup water 1 T. baby oil 1 circular wipes container
Instructions:
Cut the roll of towels in half so there are 2 small rolls. Use a very sharp knife. With a pair of pliers, grab hold of the cardboard center and pull it out. A few sheets of the paper towel will come out with it. In a bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Pour half of them in the wipes container. Place the roll in the container on top of the fluid. Pour the rest of the fluid over the top of the roll. Cut the small opening of the container (where the wipes come out) to make it a bit larger. These wipes will last about 2 weeks then need to be replaced. Cut the roll of towels in half so there are 2 small rolls. Use a very sharp knife.
