Homemade Baby Love

Right after LilE was born, my SIL sent us a personalized paci clip. I loved it! Since my girl loved her paci, I never had to go hunting for it or washing it off when it hit the floor at the grocery store. Perfect. I decided I could make them for others as a gift. Here are some directions.

I started copying them just as the one I had received, but (after this pic was taken) I have since started to sew the ribbon together instead of using the snaps. It makes it easier to use with whatever paci your baby uses (including the Soothie).

I have also made a hooded towel for a friend. I love the big towels because they are super fluffy for the newborn, but big enough to last into the preschool years. Here is one similar to what I have made.

I have a few other projects I would like to try out as I am on the hunt for a new "signature" gift for all my mommy friends.

  1. I love the paci clips! I had the hardest time finding ones I liked when I was pregnant with Elizabeth, and I wish I had considered I could make my own!! Or if I have any more kids I will ask YOU to help me make one!
    Great projects!!

  2. For the Paci clips...Target (the past two years anyways) has mitten holders in their dollar spot and the clips on those work great for paci clips! That's what I use and you get 4 for $1. They are nice because they have plastic "teeth" that help grip the clothing without messing it up! I love the tutorial on the wipes cases, I am going to have to try my hand at those!
