DIY diaper genie refill

So we've been lucky enough to have gotten plenty of diaper genie refills from baby showers that we haven't had to buy any up to this point. I went to get a new refill and realized we were completely out now before going out to try and buy some I remembered pinning something on pinterest about making your own so of course I had to challenge myself and see if I could do it myself! And I did and it really wasn't that hard or complicated so I'm excited and figured I'd share. The Sahm's blog I found this on shared that for 3 years of diaper genie refills the cost was $1086 and for 3 years of materials of the DIY refills she spent $108! Wow that is a huge difference.

So here's how you do it if your interested...

What you'll need:
A trash bag
An empty diaper genie refill

Refer to the photo below for a visual...

Take a trash bag and open it enough to get a hold of all 4 corners of the opening of the bag. On the top of the genie refill you'll see little holes thread the corners of the top of the bag through every other hole (clock terms it would be 12,3,6 and 9 o clock). Once you thread them through the hole feed the bag through the diaper genie like you would with a normal refill and the tuck the top of the genie refill to make it neater. Voila your done its really that simple.
