Cute baby wipe case...Don't laugh...this is my first tutorial!

Okay...so I've been absolutely DYING to do one of these...just didn't dare cause I didn't want to screw it up and be discouraged! lol But I was in a creating mood the other day and decided to do it...and what do you know...it turned out pretty cute!! Just don't look too close! haha

Anyway...I thought I would document the steps along the way in case you want to make one too! So here we go....this is my first attempt at putting together a tutorial so do make fun! hee hee

.

Okay...I started out with this...

Trey loves cars...but hopefully he will be out of diapers soon (fingers crossed so tight they are about to fall off!) and well, this is just WAY cuter!! hee heee

This is what I ended up with...

.

Here's what I used to put it together:

Plus my glue gun and a couple glue sticks.

.

First I cut my batting around my case...open it up and cut about 2 inches bigger than the case...

.

Do the same with your cute fabric of choice...

.

Glue your batting to the edge of the case I had it open when I glued both sides...the batting stretches pretty good.

.

Cut off all the excess batting...as close as you can get!

.

Now you can start glueing on your fabric...

.

I started in the middle on the top half of the case, folding the fabric under as you glue so you have a nice clean edge...unless of course you want your edge to be a little frayed.

Keep glueing around on the top half...then I suggest starting in the middle on the bottom half...but close the case at this point....the fabric isn't as strechty as the batting...I learned that the hard way. ;)

.

then I started glueing my ric rack...I started as close in the little corner as I could.

.

What it looks like so far...

.

Then I added a little ruffle of complimenting fabric...I just took my sewing needle and folded and stuck and folded and stuck all the way through and then tied off the end...measuring how long your case is before tying off so it will be the right length...then I adjusted my ruffle till it pleased me.

.

Then I glued the ruffle on.

.

The finished product!!

.

A side view...
