DIY Waterproof Mattress Pad Cover made with flannel sheets, a vinyl tablecloth, and and fleece

Whether you are potty training a toddler, dealing with a sick child, or caring for an elderly relative, a waterproof mattress pad can come in handy. But they are quite expensive and not always that effective, which is why I like this tutorial for  Making your Own Waterproof Mattress Pad Cover by Lindsey at So Easy Being Green.  Lindsey says you could easily make this waterproof mattress cover with upcycled materials. She used flannel sheets, a  vinyl tablecloth, and and fleece to make a waterproof mattress cover. You can find directions and tips for the DIY Mattress Pad here.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
