soother /pacifier clip - tutorial


supplies:10 inch piece of ribbon (some people like it a bit longer. remember there will be a soother attached to it so that adds a little length)
a match or fire to melt the edge of ribbon
clip to attach to clothing with (i get mine from name tags that andy gets at work, hehe)
1 snap (4 parts)
a snap setter - i have a large one but you can pick up a little one for a couple bucks

1. seal both ends of the ribbon using a flame. do not let the flame touch the ribbon, just get it close enough to melt it as you move it back and forth.

2. thread one end of the ribbon through the whole in the clip, sew it approximately 3/4 inch from the clip. this is what the back will look like:



here is the front:



3. on the other end of the ribbon, secure one side of the snap with the snap setter. about 1 1/2 -2 inches away from the first snap secure the other side of the snap.

4. and you're done!!

I was looking for how to make the soother holders and came across your site. Love it. I was wondering where I would find the clips and there you were. Thankyou

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I whipped one of these up in a few minutes. Love it! I found snaps where you didn't need a special tool, just a hammer and a thread spool.

How cute! I just bought a pacifier clip (or 5), but next time I am definitely following your tutorial. I love how customizable they are. Can't believe I didn't think of this earlier!

Hi, I just used your tutorial to make my very first paci clips! Thanks so much for the instructions. I have a question though, how do you keep the ribbon from stretching out or pulling thin across the snaps?

Thanks so much,
