#10 - Decorative Wipes Cases

My #10 craft is a decorated wipes case. We made this last May and all of the mommies loved it. It was a bit complicated to put together and a bit high on the money side. Some people had trouble with the glue not being strong enough so you may need to use hot glue, at least on the edges. The moms that cut out around the flap on the top seemed to be the ones with the most glue issues - I recommend just covering over the flap. In order to make this craft go more smoothly I made a cardboard pattern of the fabric that each person would need. The moms traced the pattern, cut out their fabric, and then used modpodge to put it on their wipes case. We had flowers and buttons to decorate the top and ribbon to hot glue on the edges. The ribbon also neatly covered the edges which were not exactly straight since we didn't use the razor knife method shown in the tutorial. Here is a link to a really good tutorial from Make Your Own Baby Stuff. This is what our finished project looked like.
