Pacifier Clip

Who would have thought you could easily customize a functional and stylish soother clip to match any outfit your new baby or child wears?! Our very own, original, incredibly safe, step-by-step tutorial will allow you to do just this… and the possibilities (and outfits) become endless!

Supplies needed:

• 1 x round clip - stainless
• 1 x 60” White regular cord (35" is all you really need but we suggest the longer length to allow for any mistakes)
• 7 x 15mm round beads
• 1 x crafting needle

Step-by-Step Instructions:

*Please note that the recommended length for a pacifier clip in the US is 6-8" for compliance standards.

1. Loop cord through clip. Leave one side of the cord as a longer piece, and the other end of the cord with about 2.5” of length from the end of the clip.

2. Knot the cord about ½” from the bottom of the clip.

3. Run your lighter over your knot to fuse the knot.

4. Trim the excess length of the smaller piece of cord at the knot. Carefully melt the tip of the cord and press into the knot until cool and hard.

5. Slightly melt the tip of your length of the cord so that you can begin beading.

6. Pull the first bead up the cord and over the knot close to the top of the clip.

7. Pull the second bead up the cord and over top of the knot near the clip.

8. String the rest of the beads onto the cord.

9. Separate the last two beads on your cord from the rest of your beads.

10. Thread your cord onto your crafting needle and push it back up through the second last bead.

11. Pull the last two beads down until you have about 5 inches of doubled string length between the third last bead and the two end beads.

12. Tie a knot under the third last bead.

13. Trim the extra length of cord off at the knot so that just the loop is left. Melt the small tip of cord and push it into the knot. Fuse the knot with your lighter.

14. Pull the second last bead up and over the knot to cover it.

15. Pull the last bead up, and then knot the loop tightly underneath it.

16. It’s done! Safe and easy to use—and best of all, no more lost soothers or teethers!
