Creating Adorable Baby Bums: Cloth Diapers
If you sew your own (or others) cloth diapers, does that make you a crafter or an eco-conscious Mama? Of course, it makes you both.
Here are directions to make super cute diapers out of t-shirts. How’s that for a reclaiming project? The best part is you can put the fun saying or cute part of the shirt right onto babies bum!
Need some liners for inside the diapers, here’s a tutorial for that.
How about making your own felted wool covers out of second hand sweaters?
Need to know where to find diaper making fabrics and kits, here’s a link. (Stay with us after the jump to find out more about the adorable diaper in the photo.)
If you’re not inclined to sew your own, check out these adorable cloth diapers I found in an Etsy shop, Monkey Snuggles Diaper Company. Let another crafty Mom create yours.
I’ve discovered that just about any fabric or cast off piece of clothing can be used in diapering. Think about how cute your babies bum will be with a diaper made with an old pair of jeans or sporting your college Alma Mater sweatshirt.
The photo is a Monkey Snuggles Diaper One Size Pocket Diaper I ordered for a friend of mine to try out on her new baby girl. This is made with a super cute WET RESISTANT fabric so a separate cover is not needed. This diaper is absolutely adorable, it sizes down very nicely and grows with baby so these one size are the most economical of fitted diapers. This one has a lovely fuschia liner that is very soft to touch and a combination of velcro style fastener and snaps for sizing up. I for one am thrilled to see such a fun print in a wet resistant nappy
Today is our last day with Jamie the Polka dot Mommy. We want to thank Jamie for sharing her blogs with us. She is an incredible resource for moms. The Mom-Stuff Blog Tour is over and that makes me sad. But I will have some much needed time to add to the Mom-Stuff Making Money Online section. I am working with some successful mom bloggers to give mom bloggers some needed direction.
I hope you have had as much fun following Mom-Stuff Blog Tour as I have had doing it for you. Its great success has been because of our followers and the great moms who allowed me into their world. Motherhood is a journey we are all on and the more we help and support each other the better the world will be. Moms are the hand that rocks the cradle and the babies in the cradle will rule our world.
This will be your last weekend to make some fun St. Patrick’s Day crafts with your kids. We have some great ones at Mom-Stuff.com
Have a great weekend.
