This week I made a diaper wipes case for a friend's baby shower, but I wasn't in the mood for hot-gluing (every once and a while I like to save my fingertips).
Instead, I got out my vinyl and cut an all-over pattern using my Silhouette machine. The front had the pattern only, fudged slightly on that center flap.
The back has the same pattern repeated, and the mommy-to-be's last name in the center. I doubt she'll ever grab the wrong case at the playground now.
You don't need a Silhouette to make one of these (although that certainly makes the process quicker and more precise). Vinyl can always be cut by hand, and I think even Contact Paper would work well. I recommend using a premium or outdoor vinyl if you can get your hands on it, since the adhesive is stronger and hold up to more abuse.
UPDATE: You can find the wipes case template posted HERE.

I think this is a fantastic idea! Will you post the template? I am curious how you got it to fit on the wipes container.
What a simple and creative upgrade. I love the screen printed wipes cases with fabulous designs, but they never seal as well as the ones from wipes manufacturers. This is the perfect solution!
Super cute and way easier than fabric ones!
i second the template request please!
If you have the template and can save me the time trying to figure out the sizing on my Silhouette, I am all for it. Love the wipes case, thanks!
oh man, what a better idea than hot glue. :)
If you keep coming up with so many simple and fabulous uses for the Sillouette, I might finally be able to justify the expense! Thanks. :)
What a fabulous idea. I would love it if you posted the silhouette file. Thanks! Love your blog.
Love this! And I would love to have the silhouette template!
Yes, I would love for you to share the template! How did you come up with that and get it to fit right? Awesome.

Would LOVE the template for that. I've been trying to get mine covered, but haven't wanted anything too complicated as i'm too busy with a baby. LOL Thanks so much for all your inspiration!
ditto to all of the above. I think I might try it with regular paper after you post the template and use some mod podge?
I like this much better than the glue gun version!
Please, oh please share your how-to! ☺ Love your ideas!

I'd love the template as well, I never got the cases covered with fabric to look good. This one is awesome!
This turned out so cute! I have a case just like this and I've thought about covering it with fabric but I don't really like it. I LOVE this idea with the vinyl. I will be doing this this weekend. Thanks for the inspiration. :)
