Whatever you call it (porta crib, playpen, playard, pack n play, portable baby jail) and however you use it (travel crib, baby containment unit, toy storage), you know it gets dirty.  I notice, especially when traveling, that the fabric doesn’t seem that comfy for baby either.  When Scarlet was just 12 weeks old we took her cross-country to visit family and she slept in an old travel crib dug up from someone’s garage.  The only thing we had to cover the dirty bottom of it was a big fluffy blanket that didn’t seem safe for such a young one, so of course I didn’t sleep the whole week worrying she was going to suffocate.  Never again!  pack n play sheets for these aren’t readily available, so I thought I’d show you how to make a play yard pack n play sheet.  I think it’s super simple, let me know if you give it a try.
DIY pack n play sheet Tutorial

Thispack n play sheetfits my Combi Jazz Play Yard   “mattress” which is pretty standard and measures 36″ X 26.5″ (they’re all around 30″x40″), but the pack n play sheet is forgiving so if yours is within the general ballpark this pack n play sheet should work fine.

1.Wash, dry and cut your fabric. Add 7 inches to the length and to the width of your mattress, so i cut a piece of fabric 43″ X 33.5″.  And a piece of 3/4″ elastic 60″

1.Fold it in half lengthwise and then widthwise so it looks like this:On the outside corner, the one with no folds, cut a 3.5″ square through all the layers.
