Diaper Swappers

skichik79 · 05-09-2010, 12:05 PM

Has anyone customized their cloth diapers? I want to make a cookie monster diaper for a friend. I was thinking of getting a white BG, and drawing cookie monster stuff on it with fabric pens. Do you think that would work? Any ideas on what would be best. I dont want to just dive and a ruin a diaper.

With all the washing that it will go through, I'm not sure that fabric pens will last very long. I think I'd get a fitted and sew some cut outs of either fabric or felt onto it to make the design.

I tried to paint up a homemade pul dipe with fabric markers and the picture bled pretty badly. Then with washing it faded pretty badly, so I can't rec'd those!!

You can always get some cotton knit fabric and embelish prefolds, I love my embelished prefolds.
