I was doing a bit of research on what to do with excess or used prefolds, and stumbled on your site. Another idea is to convert them into training pants! The soaker area is ready made...

There is, amazingly enough, a small but active population here that uses cloth diapers, so maybe I'll give them away through them. Thanks for the suggestions Lin!

Use them for stuffing. Make a quilt using them for the stuffing on the inside to make it soft and comfy. It could be a small one for naptime for your little one. Use them for dust clothes and cleaning rags. They will last forever and are absorbent. Dye them a variety of colors and then cut up in a variety of shapes. Mount them back together in a pleasing arrangement on a cardboard backing and frame it. Make a pretty wall hanging. No one will ever know it is diapers. It is now "art." It is a really pretty effect, too. You could donate them for charity, but in France, they may not get snapped up, so here are a few far out ideas…

Even if I don't get a penny back they will have more than paid for themselves within a few weeks. I was lucky enough to find a lot of used diapers on a local used site (for dirt cheap I might add).
