Cloth wipes and solution
This is a tutorial for cloth wipes. These are easy to make for even someone who has very little sewing skills.
Making the wipes is easy. Just buy your desired fabric. I would pick something soft. I wanted this to be a very cheap project so I cut up some of my son's old receiving blankets. I did not really measure I cut them to the size I wanted it. After I was done cutting them I pinned them and then sewed them with the sewing machine. You can avoid sewing them by using pinking shears. If you do not have any then do the zig zag stitch along the edge of your wipe. Make sure you sew two pieces together so they are thick enough. One you are done put them in a wipe box, You can either use water or make a solution.
Soultion;
2 cups boiling water
2 tablespoons body wash of your choice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1-2 drops tea tree oil
Mix well. If you do not use boiling water it will not mix together well. Let this cool before putting it into any storage container. Once cooled pour on top of wipes or store in air tight container for later.
You now have some very cute wipes and they are reusable!

What to do:
Take a piece of craft paper that fits the size of the table and tape it on

Egg cake pops
What you need:
box of cake mix ( you can make homemade but I am not sure if it will work as well)
Can of frosting (only using 2/3 of it)
Sucker sticks
double boiler
candy coating (bagged in different colors, here you need white)
Wax paper
Large Cookie Sheets
Styrofoam cube. ( can get at dollar tree near the flowers)
Sprinkles
corn syrup
Directions;
Make the cake as directed on the box in a 13 by 11 pan ( favorite flavor) . Bake til done. Let cool (very very well cooled). Once cooled crumble the cake into crumbs. Add the icing. This will make 48 pops. (if you do not want 48 simply make half and use 1/ 3 of the icing) You can even freeze the other half of the cake for later. Mix well. Form into 1 inch balls that resemble eggs. Let harden for a few hours on cookie sheet with wax paper in fridge. Once hardened put on stick and dip in candy coating. Let it sick and dry. Decorate. You can use the left over to dab on some spring shaped sprinkles or use corn syrup with a tooth pick to make designs. You can then dip it in colored sugar sprinkles to make zig zags. The possibilities are endless. Of course the last step is eating. Enjoy!!!
