Instructions:
Cut a roll of Bounty paper towels in half. Gently remove the cardboard tube from the
middle and place ½ of the roll end up in a container with a lid. Heat the water, then add
the appropriate ingredients and mix well. Slowly pour the liquid over the paper towels in
the container. Let sit overnight and then they are ready to use! You will pull out the first
wipe from the center of the tube and tear off at the perforation.

Tips:
Use Bounty paper towels if possible. Look for when they go on sale and stock up.
They are much stronger and you can “trust” them to hold up on those messy diapers Ü.
Use a sharp knife or electric knife to cut paper towels, whichever is easier. It tends to
be a little tricky cutting these in half – it takes a little work. While you are cutting, cut
quite a few rolls so you have several on hand when you need to make more wipes.
To make these wipes transportable, I used one of the travel containers you get with
store bought wipes. I tore off one wipe at a time, folded it in 4ths, and put it in the
container (as many as would fit and still close Ü) to be put in the diaper bag.
Sometimes I found the wipes were extra moist, causing some liquid to leak from the
container. I then began putting the wipes in a ziplock bag and the putting into the
container.
