When I first thought about how I would conduct the journal portion of my site, I wanted to have a DIY section because I love making things. I am; however, lazy about documenting what I make or have made. Everything I have been writing about is all about baby stuff; nevertheless, I swear I had and have a life outside being a mother. tee hee!!
On another note, when I was registering for items, I came across these wooden bead clips for the pacifier and thought, "I can totally make this!" and I did. I want to share with you how to put it together.
MATERIALS
DIRECTIONS
- Decide how long you want your pacifier clip to be (maybe 5 inches), now double the length (10 inches of string). If you want wrap string around the suspender for an added touch, then add 2-3 more inches.
- With your string folded in half, tie a knot and make a loop, so you can your pacifier. Leave about 3 inches between the loop and knot.
- Keep tying knots on top of this knot until you have a big knot, so beads do not slide through.
- Slide your beads through to the knot.
- Once they are all on, tie the ends of the string in a knot around the suspender clip.
- If you want, you can tie remainder string around the suspender clip for an added touch
OPTIONS
*If you don't want to make a wooden bead clip, you can always use a bandana by tying one corner into the handle of the pacifier.
