Altered burp cloths made from diapers are such a fun way to insert a little of your personal style in a new parent wardrobe. They also help keep your clothes drool free.
This set was designed in the color palette of the school where my little sis teaches. We began with 3 cotton diapers. Pre-washed them with no fabric softener and used no dryer sheets when drying.
Next, we whipped up a batch of Cherry Rit Dye. We soaked our clean diapers in water to re-wet them. We used rubber-bands to tie off random and stripes. Rit has a great tutorial for tie-dyeing. See it here. Next we placed the diapers into the dye bath and let them soak until we reached a deep red. Then we removed the rubber-bands, rinsed till the water ran clear and washed with a baby friendly detergent.
