Wipe Case Tutorial

Baby Wipes Case

Alright so I spent the day working on a few DIY reusable wipes cases. They're super easy to make, save space in your bag, still look cute, and get the job done. This is one of my first tutorials so excuse the horrid picture taking skills.

Things you will need:

1. Your choice of material
2. Hot glue and hot glue gun
3. Your choice of a 3/8 inch ribbon
4. A huggies wipes case (I prefer this case because it isn't flimsy)
5. Scissors

Step One: You want to cut out two pieces of material. It does not need to be precise because you will be coming back and trimming excess material off anyway. The easiest way to do it is just set the case on top of the material and roughly cut around it.

Step Two: Make sure your material doesn't have a bunch of creases in it or it will not look as clean. I take the creases out of my with my flat iron. You can use a regular iron as well but I find this easier with such a small piece of material and you don't have to pull out an ironing board.

 

 Step Three: Once you have your two pieces of material cut out it's time to glue them down. You're going to apply the hot glue in the crease of the case where I am pointing to. If you go much lower it will make it difficult to trim the material later. You want to start applying the hot glue on one of the smaller sides first. You will apply the glue and immediately place your material to it. Then you want to go with the side directly across from it and apply the glue again and then stretch the material lightly pulling it nice and tight and place the material down. Then you will proceed to do the same process with the other sides.

 Step Four: Once you have the material placed you will have excess material hanging. You can take your scissors and trim the material off. You want to cut it enough that it does not hang of the edge but don't worry about it looking perfect because its going to be covered with more glue and then your 3/8 inch ribbon anyways.

 Once you trim the material off it will look similar to this. As you can see it isn't perfect but it will be covered with ribbon so no need to be a perfectionist.

 Step Five: Once your material is glued down you are going to take out your ribbon and measure it around your case carefully to get it the exact size you are going to need it. You will cut two pieces of the same size ribbon to use for your trimming. Then you will glue them down. It doesn't matter if you start with top or bottom but you want to start gluing the ribbon down on the back in the middle so when you finish gluing the ribbon it finishes in the back as well and you don't see any seams in the front.

 Once you are finished your case should look something like this. Sorry for my rough tutorial Haha!
