How to Make a Diaper

No diapers? No problem. With a fold here and a fold there you can turn an ordinary tea towel into a makeshift diaper.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Cloth Diapers
• Diaper Pins

1. Fold the towel to the width of the baby's waist.
2. Lay the folded towel vertically.
3. Lay the baby on the towel.
4. Twist the front of the diaper a 180-degree turn.
5. Fold the front corners in.
6. Pin back corners to the front of the diaper.

Tips & Warnings

• Fold a small towel or washcloth to use inside the diaper for added absorbency for an older toddler.
• Always keep your fingers between the baby and the pin when pinning a diaper.
• Tea-towel diapers are only to be used in a pinch. The soap used in washing the towel may irritate your baby's bottom.
