simple tethers to keep baby's toys close at hand

Ok, so this is super easy, but here's a tute for it anyways.

don't be intimidated by all the steps, I'm just camera happy

1

Gather your materials: I use sew on snaps, but only because I don't have a snap press. I like to use safety pins and suspender clips as fasteners.
2

Cut 2 inch wide strips of cloth length can be anything; I like around 13 - 14 inches long.
3

If you have a 1ich bias tape maker: (if you don't skip to step 5)
Send the strip of fabric through, ironing as you go
4

Then fold that strip in half and iron again
5

If you don't have a bias tape maker, fold your strip in half and iron
6

Open the strip up, and fold the sides in to the middle line and iron
7

Then fold the strip back in half with the raw edges inside, and iron one more time
8

After you have your strips ironed, go back and fold in about 1.2 inch on each end and iron, the fold everything back up again.
9

Sew a straight line down the middle of each strip
10

Sew your snaps at each end. I like to leave between 2 or 4 inches between the snaps so that it can fit around a variety of toys and fasteners.
11

Use the tethers to keep track of hats on a windy day:

Or to make sure the paci doesn't fall to the car floor (that's just a hair tie wrapped around the handle)
13

Suspender clips can go on almost everything

Another way to attach tethers is to wrap them around and then fasten them to themselves!
