This is my first attempt at creating a reusable diaper. It's outer cover is flannel and inner layer is a store bought prefolded cloth diaper. Sandwiched between the two layers is a polyeurethane laminate to make the diaper water proof. I put two nylon snaps on each of the tabs for adjusting (and I hope it fits my newborn). I had to guess at the size because I didn't have a pattern. Total cost... $3.00 and about one hour. I can cut the cost in half by shopping for flannel at the second hand stores.

You are a resourceful gal. I gotta say that.......
Holy crap! Literally! Good for you!
WOW, you're great, SAVE THE LANDFILL - you go girl
I'm impressed...hope they work.
I love the green aspect of cloth diapers but had a traumatizing experience with rinsing poop in toilets that keeps me from actually using cloth!
You should just do a blog post telling people to send you their flannel scraps! I'll dig around & send you any I have... it would do better keeping a babies bum clean & warm than it is sitting in my closet. Let me know, I'll dig & can send a picture to see if it's something you'd be willing to use on your baby's bum.
