Make your own baby wipes

I have been making my own baby wipes for a few months now and I absolutely love them. They are not exactly eco-friendly because the paper towels are not recycled and they are bleached but all the info I have read says you need to use the strong paper towels (Brawny) otherwise they turn to mush. They are more eco-friendly than regular wipes though not to mention have natural ingredients instead of all the chemicals in most wipes. They are also more economical. Try them!

Cut a roll of Brawny or Bounty paper towels in half.
Remove the inner cardboard roll.
Put the half roll of wipes into a plastic container with a lid.
In a separate bowl mix together:
1 tablespoon Dr. Bronner's liquid castile soap (I like almond)
1 tablespoon almond oil
2 drops tea tree oil
1 drop lavender oil
1 cup distilled water
Pour the liquid mixture into the container with your wipes and put on the lid. Pull wipes out from center of roll.
