How to Create Ice Pack Holders out of Baby Cloths

If you are handy with a sewing machine, or even if you are only okay with one, you can save your child's burp cloths for when they are older.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Burp cloths
• A sewing machine or needle and thread

1. Lay out your burp cloths and discard any that are just too badly stained.

2. Choose several burp cloths to create your ice pack holders.

3. Fold the burp cloths so that the pattern is on the inside.

4. Sew along two sides, leaving the third side open.

5. Turn your new ice pack holders right side out.

Tips & Warnings

• When you fold your burp cloths, leave an inch or so more than you need for the ice packs. You will have to trim off the excess.
• Keep your cloths handy to keep ice packs off of your child's skin when they are injured.

on 3/7/2008 Very cool! My future sister-in-law's kids are way past the stage where they still need burp cloths. She loves craft projects so I'll be sure to pass this idea along. Thanks!
