Dolly Diaper Bag ($10 Or Less) - (Ages 4-9)

By Cindy Bailey

Materials:

  • Your child's old diaper bag, receiving blanket, etc.
  • (Or, fold one of her old recieving blankets in half. With right sides together, sew one seam across the bottom, and one along the side. Attach heavy ribbon, such as grograin for handles. Turn, and you have a diaper bag).
  • Package of premmie disposable diapers
  • Other dollar store baby items as desired, hairbrush, lotion, bath toys, powder, binkie, wipes

Instructions

Rather than buying those over-priced baby doll diaper bags with one or two diapers and empty bottles, why not make up your own kit? A package of preemie diapers is much cheaper and provides hours of fun. Also, the dollar stores are loaded with baby items which may not be of the quality you used on your baby, but will do fine for dollies.

Instead of buying disposable diapers for dolls why not make them? When I was expecting my son I made some up for him. I made up a few sizes not knowing how big he would be, my first child was very tiny so made a premmie size up too. He was too big so my daughter got it for her baby born - she still has it 10 years later. The pattern I used was Kwiksew 2062 but you could use a purchased nappy as a pattern.
