by Hannah Walton aka The Cheapskate Mom

It’s inevitable : babies grow … babies grow out of their diapers and by the time all is said and done, you are likely to have an excess of diapers in all different sizes and you probably don’t know what to do with them. Never fear : The Cheapskate Mom is here!

I have searched the web high and low to find you the best, worst, strangest, craftiest and quirkiest ideas all about how to use up those outgrown diapers.  If you have more ideas, please share by commenting and add to this epic list.

Alternate Uses for Diapers:

Make A Baby Shower Gift: Roll up your diapers and make one of those fancy diaper cakes.

Make Shift Heating Pad : fill the diaper with hot water and seal. Voila!

Paper Towels: though they are far too expensive for every day use, diapers make excellent paper towels in a pinch

Wrap Camera: Use diapers to wrap your camera and other delicate equipment on vacations.

Moving and Mailing: Good padding for moving or mailing delicate items

Dusting: Use up your diapers by dusting with them!

Shiny Shoes: Use Diapers to polish those shoes.

Stain Wood: use your absorbent diapers to wipe varnish on wood

Clean Your Soldering Iron: wipe solder off soldering iron

Safe-proof Your Home: prevent water from seeping in by shoving under a door during a storm

Make a Poultice for a horse: use a diaper, sugar and duct tape.

Ice Pack In A Pinch: fill with ice cubes and apply. Keeps the fluid in and works great.

Make a fashion statement: wear a diaper for a stylish hat :)
