There are so many interesting braids and designs you can find on Pinterest! Better yet? If you know basic macrame knots (and trust us, they’re soooo simple!), you can use really simple square knots or half square knots to create thicker designs. If you’re looking for instructions on how to make these knots, we’ve got you! Head on over to our DIY Tutorial for Macrame Pacifier Clips here to learn how to make a half square knot!

Today’s blog post breaks down how to make a super simple Four Strand Pacifier clip! Suede leather is a great material for these braids! It’s durable, soft, and with all our color options - completely customizable!

Usage is similar to a regular beaded soother clip (general rule of thumb is to replace your pacifier clips every 2-3 months!), however, you should replace a suede leather pacifier clip more often. Because the material is porous, baby saliva will get into the leather and over time may make it stiff. We recommend replacing your suede leather clip every 2 months and discontinue use after or at the first sight of damage.

Supplies needed

Step by Step Instructions

1. Gather your supplies. Cut 2 lengths of cording about 3’ in length each.

2. Take one strand and fold in half. Shape a loop, making it about 1.5-2” in length. Keep in mind that this end will loop onto a pacifier or teether.

3. Hold your first folded piece of cord and line up your cording to lay flat. Take your second piece of cording and at the halfway point, lay it behind the first folded cord.

4. The four strands will be what you use to make your braid. Take your far right piece of cord, fold it across and place it in between the far left cord and the middle two strands.

5. Holding that folded cord in place, take your far left strand and fold it over just one cord.

6. Grab your far right cord, fold it across the two cords beside it, then grab your far left strand and fold it over just one cord.

8. When you have a length you’re happy with, use both the far left and far right cord and tie a simple knot. You can double knot this if you like. Trim the excess cord from this knot.

9. You should still have two cords coming down through the knot you just made. Feed those cords onto your clip.
