DIY fabric wipe case

This is my new favorite baby shower gift! It's practical and who can't use a little extra flare to their diaper bag! This gift just isn't for a girl, it can be for a boy too!  I get so many compliments on mine asking where I got it.  Heck, who wants a boring old wipe case in their diaper bag anyways!?


Here is what you need:


*material
*2-3 kinds of ribbon
*elmers spray glue bond
*wipe case
*scissors
*hot glue gun (not pictured)
*batting (not pictured)




First take the wipes out and put the wipes in a ziplock bag.  Open the case up and cut your fabric out.


Then cut the fabric in half.



 Spray the glue on the outside of the wipe case.


Attach the batting quickly, then spray more glue and attach the fabric.


Trim the fabric so it goes about halfway down the sides. 



Cut the corners off




Add some hot glue 


Glue down all the corners (see how they don't go ALL the way down) you want the fabric to go about halfway down the box. 


For me it's easier to pre-measure the ribbon around the wipe case


Burn the tip of the ribbon to keep it from fraying


STOP!!  If you plan on adding a "accent ribbon" (blue ribbon) you want to attach it NOW (unlike I did, so ignore the pink ribbon in the picture already). You want your trim ribbon (pink ribbon) that goes around the case to go OVER the accent ribbon.  


again pre-cut to accent ribbon and burn the edges


hot glue the tip, but spray the back of the ribbon and the fabric with the spray glue.  Then Press the ribbon onto the fabric and hot glue the other end. 



Attach the ribbon around the outside of the wipe case as close to the edge as you can



Now, I attached a fabric bow (which I will show you how to make next week) so SAVE your scrap fabric!!!


When it's done, it should look like this :)



I LOVE to make these, and everyone loves them! Plus they are simple to make!


 Next week, I'll show you how to make the fabric bow, so make sure to have your scrap fabric handy!
