DIY: Pacifier Clips
Here’s what you need - Ribbon, Felt, Office badge clips, and a hot glue gun! I used a sewing machine as well, but you could do everything with hot glue.

 Start by creating your design for the felt! I was making them for two friends having little boys, so I went with a car.

Obviously Lia needed a few clips as well, hence the bows :) 

Next I used the hot glue gun to attach the little felt decorations to the badge clips.

Once all the clips were finished, it was time to move on to the ribbons! Cut them out to the length desired plus an inch or so extra.  You’ll use the extra to overlap the ends and have a prettier finish.

Next I used a sewing machine to overlap and finish off the ends.  One end you will want to create a loop - this will attach to the badge clip.  The other end you’ll just want to overlap the ribbon a few times to make it a nicer finish and so your ribbon won’t fray.  You could easily do this step with the hot glue gun instead! 

Fasten the looped end to the clip and then the final step just takes adding a bit of velcro to the other end!  The velcro side will be what you use to attach a pacifier.

Oh! And the other fun thing you can do is make multiple ribbons for each clip.  Talk about a fun, easy, and highly useful project - if you have a baby that is :).
