Pop Up Reusable Wipes

One of the convenient things about disposable wipes is that they can go in a pop up container.  If you're using reusable wipes you can also make your wipes pop up.

I use a wipe warmer.  It has been nice now that the weather is colder.  If you don't have a wipes warmer,  you can also use one of those plastic containers that comes with disposable wipes.


What I did was fold the wipes so they slightly overlap each other.  Then when you pull out a wipe it sticks to the next wipe and pulls it out.  Sometimes if you overlap them too much, the next wipe will come out too much.  You'll have to experiment with your wipes and figure what works best for you.

Here is how I did it.
Start with one wipe.  I will call this wipe A.  It helps to have wipes that are all the same size.  You can do it with different sized wipes too.  It is just a little trickier.


Then place the second wipe (wipe B) on top of the first but you leave a lip of the bottom wipe visible.  This is the part you will fold.


Then fold.

Then place the next wipe (wipe C) on top of those two.  If your wipes are the same size, line up the edge of wipe C to the unfolded edge of the wipe A.

Then fold

Keep placing wipes on top and folding.

You will end up with something that looks like this.
Just keep placing and folding wipes until you have the number you want.
Then I wet them.  I just use water.  You can use homemade wipes solution if you want.  I will put some recipes at the bottom.

After wetting the wipes, just put them into your container and pop up the first wipe.  It is pretty easy and only take a couple minutes to do.

Here is what it looks like coming out of the box.
