Try to buy a good roll of paper towels for less than a dollar and you'll get a batch of these baby wipes for about $0.50.
Making your own baby wipes will not only save money, but you will know that no harsh or drying chemicals are touching your baby's bottom.
What You Need:
· Round plastic container (Rubbermaid #6 or #9 works well)
· Thick, strong roll of paper towels
· Sharp knife to cut paper towel roll in half (Be Careful!)
· 2 cups hot water
· 2 Tablespoons baby shampoo or baby wash
· 1 Tablespoon baby oil
Here's How:
1. Cut the roll of paper towels in half with a knife.
2. Mix liquid ingredients in container.
3. Place the paper towels in the container with the cut side facing downward.
4. Secure lid tightly and allow to sit until all liquid is absorbed into the paper towels.
5. Turn the container upside-down and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
6. Open container and 'start' the roll by removing the cardboard center and pulling a towel from the inside of the roll.
7. Wipes are now ready to use.
Tips:
1. Save the other half of the roll for use next time you make wipes.
2. Make sure the container is closed tightly after each use to prevent drying out.

We did this all the time in the South Pacific. It works!
What a great idea!! I'm going to make this for my family :) Cool!
I've done this and I think that the best paper towels to use are VIVA brand.
