One of my favorite things to do is think of little crafts and inventions for fun and I just thought of, made, and tested this little invention and it's actually pretty nifty.
Who knows maybe there's some of you out there longing for tabs and are restricted to cheap pull ups because of insurance or maybe you can't get a hold of proper tabbed diapers and can only buy whatever is local like Goodnites. Whatever the reason, this is a pretty nifty easy DIY for your tabbed needs.
So here we go~
Things you will need:
Fold your fabric in half and cut out some rectangles with a dotted line down the center (that's where you'll be sewing later).
This is a 10cmx5cm rectangle.
Shown here is enough for 2 tabs (4 rectangles of fabric total)
If you'd like to make 4 tabs (recommended) double this amount.
For 6 tabs triple it.
Sew along the dotted line. My handheld sewing machine only does single stitch so I go over it twice back and front to make sure it's nice and sturdy.
Prepare your button snaps. You can use any color or type you want You'll want 2 snaps on each side for a total of 8 snaps for 2 tabs.
16 snaps for 4 tabs. 24 snaps for 3 tabs.
You can usually cheaply find metal versions of these at Walmart or craft stores. These are applied with a tool but some can be sewn on.
It should look like this when you're done.
Now you're going to harvest the tabs from your baby diapers. 1 diaper per set of tabs. These are store brand size 2s I use as stuffers.
Secure the tabs with the snaps and you're done.
Most adult pull ups have easy tear sides, just secure the other side using the snaps and pad up.
Easy peasy pull-up to tabbed converter for cloth backed pull ups. Also works for Goodnites if you'd like! Have only tested these on some Prevail pull-ups but I'm sure Goodnites would work very similarly.
The tabs can be reused a fair amount but do need to be replaced every once in a while. (just the baby tabs not the actual converter) But if you regularly use baby diaper stuffers you might find yourself with an abundance of extra tabs any way.
Hopefully this little craft came in handy for some of you guys~
