Pacifier Clips




You will need:
  • ribbon of your choice
  • clip ( I used a name tag clip )
  • embellishment glue
  • notion of your choice
  • ruler
  • scissors
  • Velcro stickers
  • lighter
  • double sided tape or fabric tape
How to:

  • cut ribbon to desired length
  • using lighter, melt the two cut edges. This will prevent fraying in the future
  • apply Velcro to the "wrong" side of the ribbon - one at the very end and the other about 2 inches from the end. This will give you the "loop" that will allow you to attach the pacifier
  • some clips will allow you to attach the ribbon on by looping it into a provided hole, while others (like the ones I used) require you to glue the ribbon on. For this I used embelishment glue. It's great for applying metal to fabrics.
  • if you're looping your ribbon through a provided hole, ensure you secure the end using either double sided tape or fabric tape
  • if you're gluing the ribbon onto the clip, use embellishment glue - and do this now. allow to set for 10 minutes
  • now carefully glue on your notion to the clip using embellishment glue. Be careful to not move your clip around a lot, as the glue takes awhile to set completely. Follow directions on bottle.

Infant Headbands


These are easy to do, take no time at all, and look super cute!

You will need:

  • ribbon of your choice
  • notion of your choice ( I chose a buckle style notion)
  • embellishment glue
  • Velcro stickers
  • lighter
  • tape measure

How to:

  • measure baby's head - add an inch or so for growth
  • cut ribbon to that length
  • using lighter, slightly melt ends so in time they won't fray
  • add Velcro stickers - two of each side will be needed to allow for adjustment as baby grows
  • if using a glue on notion, do this now and allow to set
