DIY.. Baby Wipes Case

This post is for all you non-sewers.  And anyone who has a baby in their life..

Find fabric scraps and in a short afternoon you can create this fun wipes case.  Make one to match your diaper bag or make one for a new “Mom” friend.

Materials Needed:

• Fabric – this is a great project for scrap fabric. Requires 2 pieces approx 10″ x 8″
• Trim – 3/8″
• Small piece of ribbon, bias tape – approx 2″ long
• Craft foam – “Creatology Fun Foam” works great
• Empty wipes case
• Sharpie / pen for tracing
• Tracing paper
• Glue gun
• Spray adhesive
• Cardboard

Note — Spray the adhesive in a WELL ventilated area.  Do not spray the glue on your beloved cutting mat!!

Step 1 – Prep your foam.  Place tracing paper on top of your wipes case.  Move inwards 1/8″ and trace/follow the outside edge. This is the pattern for your foam. Place on the foam, pin and cut 2 pieces.

Step 2 – Adhere the foam to wipes case.  Be careful where you use the adhesive spray – spray in a well ventilated area and on a cardboard/disposable surface.  Spray the wipes case and stick the foam down. Gently press until it is firmly held down.  Repeat for the other side.

Step 3 –  Spray the foam on the wipes case and your fabric.  Lay the fabric on the wipes case top and press.  Gently press/pull the air bubbles out.  Work fast.  If you have a light fabric, make sure your hands are CLEAN.

Step 4 – Trim down your fabric.  The fabric should be glued down around the wipes case sides.  Carefully trim to the wipes case  edge. Use OLD scissors. The glue may ruin a good pair of scissors.   Stay away from your sewing scissors!

Step 5 – Cut a small piece of  bias tape, ribbon, etc and glue it down. You will fold this around the trim and cover the raw edges [beggining and ending edges of the 3/8″ trim].  Glue the trim around the edge of the wipes case.  This should cover the raw edges of the fabric.

Step 6 – Repeat and glue the trim around the bottom edge.  Finish by wrapping the double fold binding around the raw edges and glue.

Voila!!  Now you have a great wipes case to show off.

Have a great day.
