10 Useful Ways To Upcycle Baby Wipe Containers

Once you pull the last wipe from your baby wipe container, do you just toss it in the trash without really thinking about it? If so, you’re missing out on some really useful ways to upcycle baby wipe containers into something else. Whether your baby wipe container is a box, a cylinder, or a plastic pouch, there’s something else you can do with it once the wipes are gone. Check these out!

Why You Should Upcycle Baby Wipe Containers

Even if you don’t have a baby or toddler in the house, you may still keep baby wipes around because they are useful for much more than babies. That means whenever you empty a container, there are still lots of organizational opportunities to use it. Here are just 10 of them.

1 Do you knit or crochet? Instead of letting your yarn roll around on the floor at your feet or get tangled in a basket, put the skein inside a cylindrical baby wipe container. Pull the end through the hold in the lid to use it. The baby wipe container successfully keeps your yarn where you want it, tangle-free!

2. Save that baby wipe pouch, because it makes an inexpensive sensory and developmental play toy for babies. Cut squares of leftover fabric scraps and put them into the baby wipe container. Little hands love to pull out the colorful fabric squares {even more than they love to pull out all the wipes!}.

3. Gardeners can start spring seedlings inside a baby wipe box. All you need to do is add potting soil and seeds and wait for the sprouts. Keep the soil moist and put the box in a sunny window.

4. Don’t go out and buy small storage boxes for crafts or sewing supplies. Just use an empty baby wipes container.

5. Dryer sheets come in boxes that don’t protect them very well. How easy is it to transfer the dryer sheets to the inside of a baby wipes box? Pretty easy! They’ll dispense one at a time, just like the wipes do.
