How to Make Your Own Homemade Cloth Diapers

Making homemade cloth diapers is an excellent way to save money and save the environment. Disposable diapers can be costly, and most disposable diapers contain chemical perfumes and dyes that can cause diaper rash and skin allergies. Cloth diapers on the other hand are usually cotton based which is non-allergenic. However, like disposable diapers, cloth diapers can be expensive. Luckily, you can easily make your own cloth diapers at home using just a few materials.
