If you’re looking for a unique and practical baby shower gift, consider sewing burp cloths from diapers!
Not only is this a cost-effective and eco-friendly option, but they also provides a large, absorbent surface for burping and cleaning up after feeding time.
Begin by pre-washing, drying and ironing the decorative fabrics and cloth diapers. This will help to remove any sizing or residue that could affect absorbency or cause shrinkage later on.
In this 🎥 video I’ll share my tips for making Burp Cloths with Baby Diapers quickly and easily. The tutorial include how to make a template and get the fabric the perfect length the first time (because those diapers aren’t a consistent size and shape!)

That’s it! The cloth diaper material is highly absorbent and durable, so it can withstand multiple washes and uses. It’s sure to stand out and be a cherished item for both baby and parent.
