Pacifier Clip Tutorial

Here's another quick gift for a baby shower. It's perfect with the diaper cake I showed you before, but also as an extra gift or when you just need a small attention gift. To me the pacifier clip is one of the most useful items I could get. The first 18 months are full of pacifier dropping. I keep mine in my diaper bag and whenever the pacifier goes in the mouth, the clip comes out of the bag :)

If you have a sewing machine - good for you, it's a 10 minutes job (and you'll spend most of the time on choosing the right combination of ribbons). If you don't have access to a sewing machine, no worries, you can definitely sew it by hand.

Shall we begin?

What you need:Sewing machine (or not...)
Scissors
Ribbon - 2.5 cm (1") wide and 30 cm (12") long
Ribbon - 0.5 cm (1/4") wide and 25 cm (10") long
Clip
Thread

It's so hard to choose the combination of the ribbons!

Slip one end of the wide ribbon through the clip from front side of the clip to back side of it. Fold edge twice and secure with a pin.

Moving to the other end. Fold the narrow ribbon in half to form a loop. Fold the edge of the wide ribbon twice and insert narrow ribbon under.

While still holding the edge, move the loop over the fold and secure with a pin.

Sew on both sides. I like to either use a zigzag stitch or a double straight one.

Now make ten more, because it's so much fun and it's always good to have some at home, just in case...

  1. Looks like a very good solution for the babys whoo use a passifier. My daughter never did. I guess I was the passifier, and I'm not that easy to drop :)

  3. There is definitely a need for these. I see young mothers struggling all the time with dropped pacifiers. And these look so simple to make. Thanks for sharing.
