Ingredients/Supplies:
round plastic container

2 c. water–boil first, then let cool to room temperature
2 tbsp lavender castile soap
1 tbsp olive or baby oil
3 drops lavender essential oil
Homemade Lavender Diaper Wipes

Easy
Although I do not use reusable cloth baby wipes, I do occasionally make homemade baby wipes. I had some leftover lavender essential oil from labor and bath soaks for post-baby, so I thought why not whip together some lavender baby wipes!
Plus, if you’ve ever purchased essential oils, you know a little goes a long way. These baby wipes are super simple to make. Honestly, I think the hardest part is tracking down the right container. I’m not going to lie, I used a jumbo sized Clorox disinfecting wipe container. I washed it thoroughly of courses, and allowed it to air out in the sun for a few days.

Have a question about this project?
Would Coconut Oil work?
You could make it just about any scent, right?
Could you use different ingredients and make disinfectant wipes?
How do you remove the cardboard tube when the last paper towel is usually glued to the tube?
silly rabbit! The tube slides out first when it gets wet. You are pouring the mixture over the towels.
