DIY Soother Clips

Back when I was expecting my Kman, a friend of mine had made me two soother clips using colourful ribbon, a button and a clip. Well, I finally got around to making some of my own. It was so easy. I got some ribbon from Michael's using my 40% off coupon, then got the clip form Fabricland and the velcro from Walmart. So for under $6 I had enough materials to make four of these babies - no pun intended - and I still have tons of velcro and and ribbon left over when I get more clips. Check it out!

The orange clip is the one made by a friend with a button to attach the soother.
Here's how:

1. Measure the length of the ribbon you want. Remember 2 important things: First, you want to ensure the ribbon isn't long to avoid any choking hazard. Secondly, you are sewing the bottom and top so leave yourself enough ribbon to do so.
2. I then took the clip part and wrapped the ribbon around and sewed in place.
3. For the top, I looped the ribbon around the soother to know where I wanted the velcro located. I then sewed them in their place.

And that's it - three easy steps!
