I made a cute little pacifier clip for my soon to be nephew, Avery! His mommy and daddy are HUGE Chicago Cubs fans, so I thought a baseball theme would be perfect. I happened to have everything on hand!
I cute the ribbon to the desired length. Be sure to not make it too long, you don't want the ribbon to be able to get around the baby's neck. I then used my wood burner to melt the ends of the ribbon. You can also run them over a flame of a candle. This just makes sure that the ribbon isn't going to unravel.
Then I added velcro to one end of the ribbon. Notice that I folded the end over, so the melted part was hidden. Also make sure that you put a pacifier in the fold of the ribbon, to make sure that when velcroed- a pacifier will fit. I forgot to do this before I sewed the velcro on, but got lucky!
The last thing I did was removed a clip from a mitten strap. You can find them really cheap right about now! I used one that we had on hand, since it was missing it's partner! Again, I folded the melted part of the ribbon over and sewed the ribbon closed.
