DIY No-Sew Cloth Wipes
Since when are wipes a hot commodity? With so many unknowns happening, and things like paper towels and toilet paper being treated like currency, I decided to make cloth wipes to have on hand just incase. They are very universal, and can be used as paper towels and napkins in the kitchen, baby wipes after being soaked or sprayed, or even what’s called the “family cloth”, thats right, reusable toilet paper (maybe not my preferred use, but to each their own). These are easy-to-make cloth wipes without any sewing.

Supplies:
Receiving blanket (or any flannel fabric)
Pinking shears
Directions:
Fold blanket into quarters. Cut into even squares using the pinking shears (this will keep the fabric from fraying). Then fold and cut those squares into quarters too. This results in 16 7”x7” square cloths. If using a flannel cloth instead of a receiving blanket, cut into equal 7”x7” squares.
I made my cloth wipes using old receiving blankets. They can also be found through garage sale sites and thrift stores for those on a budget. These are the pinking shears I used.
Whether you want to be more eco-friendly, or you just are trying to be prepared for the possibility of a wipe shortage, having a set of cloth wipes is great to have on hand!
