Well, my cutie is now 5 going on 6, and I've decided to say goodbye to the nappies sitting in his drawer. I think I was hoping that we'd have a number 2, but after a few attempts, and considering the potentially huge age gap, and we're approaching the next big decade in our lives, we have decided to call it day..... We're very happy with just one, and thankful that he's in our lives :-)
So, the nappies (or prefolds) are going to be used elsewhere in the household. Here's my list of potential uses:
a) Wipes for the house
b) Face cloths to remove my makeup & cleansing cream
c) I could sew a couple of pads for my monthly "ahem" :-)
..... any new ideas?
We covered nappies on Recycle This a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to your three great ideas that you've mentioned above, people also suggested using them to make homemade swiffer mop covers, folding them over several times and making them into oven gloves/pads, or making "mop slippers" from them.
If they're 100% cotton (as most are), you could also dye them and use them to make a patchwork picnic/beach blanket.
Whatever you decide to do with them, happy recycling! :)
Thanks for the tips, Louisa. I love the idea of having mop slippers!
