Greetings from Japan! A couple of you guessed where I'm traveling this week, probably from the washi tape.
Here's a sneak peak of what I've found so far. Love this stuff!
So while I'm away I'm getting a little help from readers to keep the crafty goodness coming. Today's tutorial is from Amy at Naptime Crafters. This is a brilliant (and easy) way to turn any napkin into a bib! Thanks, Amy! Enjoy!
Bib or Nursing Cover Clip Tutorial
Turn anything into a bib! You know the moment: your baby is in white, you packed a jar of sweet potatoes, and you forgot the bib- not good... Trust me I've tried tucking a napkin in- the results weren't pretty. So... the bib clips were born. Turn napkin, paper towel, burp cloth, etc. into a bib
Bonus- you don't have to cart home a nasty bib.
They also work great for turning any blanket into a nursing cover.
Materials:
- 2.5 x 16" piece of fabric
- Suspender Clips
- D- rings
- Tiny hairband (optional)
2. Fold your fabric right sides together and sew shut. Cut off a 2.5" section. You should now have 2 fabric tubes- one short and one long.
3. Turn your tubes right sides out. For the long one I used a crochet hook to shove it through.
4. Cut your suspender clips in half. Tuck the raw edge under on your long tube and slip it over a suspender clip. Topstitch down.
5. Tuck the raw edge under and slip it over your other suspender clip. Slip the D-rings onto the strap then topstitch both ends onto the suspender clip.
5. Feed the long end through the D-rings and you're done! I used the tiny hair tie to secure the loose tail.

Amy - So clever! What a great idea. Thanks so much for sharing. x
Hey - if your trip to Japan brings you to any southern islands (Okinawa) - I would love to meet up and say Hi! Love all the ideas.

Your in Japan!? Wow!!! I hope you have a great trip :)
The bib is adorable & the fabric is so cute!
This is great because it is so useful and versatile. Also, it's small and easy to carry in your bag. I love it!
This is genius! Thank you for sharing!
Brilliant! So glad I saw this :)
Süper fikir.Teşekkürler, Sevgiyle kalın....
Kind of reminds me of the way a dentist's bib works. Great idea!
I love this idea and just happen to have 2 suspender clips leftover after making my 2 daughters' mitten clips. I used 7/8 in. ribbon for those- I may be lazy and do the same for this bib clip...lol. I would have never thought to make something like this!! So clever and much more practical than carrying around several bibs :) Thank you!
