Where there is a pacifier, there is a will to get lost or dropped. Below is a quick and easy, no-sew tutorial for a pacifier holder clip / leash using  KAM snap fasteners  that will allow your little one to always keep her binky close and clean.

 

Materials needed:

1. Cut your ribbon to 12" long. Your pacifier holder / leash will be approx. 8 inches long when complete. Adjust the length of your cut if you want a shorter or longer leash.

2. In a well ventilated area and according to directions, apply fray check to both ribbon ends. If you don't have fray check, you can use a lighter and singe the ends to prevent fraying.

3. Fold 1/2" of ribbon over at one end. 

4. Insert your cap through both layers of ribbon.

17. Tie any string or elastic band into a knot. You can use anything around your house. I used an elastic neck band that came with those badge tags you get at conventions. But you can use an elastic hair band, twine, shoelace, etc.. It just needs to fit into the hole of your pacifier. 

The string/elastic band will allow you to easily remove your pacifier from the clip holder/leash.

NOTE: You can skip adding an elastic string/band if your pacifier has a large ring like below. You'll just want to space your snaps farther apart to allow the ring to fit between your snaps. Insert the ring instead between your snaps and close together.

18. For pacifiers with a hole design like the WubbaNub brand, insert your string/elastic band between your snaps and close.

19. Thread your string/elastic band through your pacifier hole and you're done! You can attach your pacifier clip holder to your baby's shirt, purse strap, or diaper bag to prevent it from getting lost or dropped, keeping baby happy and mama sane. =)
