Crafting on Demand

Pacifier clip = ABSOLUTE NECESSITY! If you didn't already know this, I am a fan of the pacifier. It is because of the pacifier that I don't live in a padded room today (ha ha). Back in the day, pacifier clips were one of the main items in my Etsy shop. Over time, as my little ones got bigger and no longer let their pacifiers fall out of their mouths without warning in the grocery store (icky), I stopped focusing on them. As I've mentioned before, my friends and family members are my BEST customers. In order to keep this up, I must produce what they need (it's simple Economics 101 people). My friend needed a cute baby gift for a friend, so I got right to work. Making paci clips is a bit tedious (lots of steps), so it makes sense to make a bunch while you have all of your supplies out. It's sort of a 2-handed process, so I can't really do a tutorial, but if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them. You'll see these little guys popping up in my Etsy shop as I finish them.

Circus Elephant :)

(The guitar, the lion, and the bird are already spoken for, but if you see one you would like, let me know) (We got rid of Noah's pacifier at the age of 2 and a half so he would be a BIG boy when his baby sister was born. I'll admit I was a bit embarrassed when Noah's new dentist could instantly tell that he had used it beyond the age of 2. oops. Ah well. )

  3. Those are really cute! And they are so unique. I can see why people are requesting them ;) We just got rid of my daughter's pacifier and I am happy to say it was not the battle I thought it would be!...but she hasn't been to the dentist yet, so we'll see what he has to say!
