Re-usable Swiffer covers

Remember how I really love our cloth diapers (here)?  And how I cried real tears when Little Lady potty trained herself out of them (here)? 


Well... I didn't actually get rid of all the BumGenius 4.0 pocket diapers with snaps.  Shhhh....


I kept a purple one for the baby memory boxes.


But I also kept all the newborn absorber inserts because I noticed long ago that they are the exact same size as the Swiffer duster head.  

I've been plotting for months to make these re-usable Swiffer covers and finally found thirty minutes to do it! 


I only made five covers to start with.  I sewed elastic straps to the diaper inserts and ¡viola!  They fit right on. 

 I can sweep to my heart's content, toss them in the wash, and re-use them.  

 It's one more step to using less paper at our house since we started using cloth napkins a year ago (here) and haven't looked back.  


We'll see what paper-less idea I have in store for next year...
