No Sew Interchangeable Ribbon Pacifier Clip Tutorial

Materials Needed:

·     13" length of 7/8" ribbon

·     2 sets of size 16 no sew snaps

·     easy attacher (optional)

·     hammer

·     mam ring adaptor (optional)

Most of these supplies can be purchased at: everythingribbons.etsy.com

Step 1:

Seal ribbon ends with a lighter. 

Note:  If you have never done this before, get the flame close to the edge of the ribbon, but not quite touching.  If you are close enough  you will see the edge melt.  Just run it across quickly.  I would test this on a scrap piece of ribbon first to get some practice.



Step 2:

On the wrong side of the ribbon, mark with a pen in the center of the ribbon at the .5 inch mark  and again at the 2.5 inch mark from ribbon end.  Do the same on the other end.

If you use a permanent marker, just be careful because the permanent marker will go thru the ribbon or fabric.  Just lightly mark it.

Step 3:

 

 

Attached your snaps with your easy attacher, snap pliers, snap setter or with just a spool of thread and a hammer.  There are 4 parts to the snaps.  2 prongs, 1 female socket (the one that is flat with a hole in the center) and 1 male stud (the one with a little pimp sticking out).   Assemble the set of the female socket and prong at the .5 inch mark and the male stud and prong at the 2.5 inch mark.  Do the same on the other end.  Placing it like this will make it interchangeable. 

Step 4:

Attach the suspender clip.  Just make sure it is facing the right direction.  To attach to a pacifier, just open the snap up and wrap it around the handle of the pacifier.  For the button type pacifiers, you can attach a mam ring adaptor at the end of the pacifier holder that will attach to most button type pacifiers.
