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

Instructions

  1. Small tether tute 02 1269444552

    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. Small tether tute 01 1269444640

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

  3. Small tether tute 03 1269444675

    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. Small tether tute 04 1269444724

    Then fold that strip in half and iron again

  5. Small tether tute 05 1269444755

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

  6. Small tether tute 06 1269444778

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

  7. Small tether tute 08 1269444822

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

  8. Small tether tute 07 1269444830

    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. Small tether tute 09 1269444849

    Sew a straight line down the middle of each strip

  10. Small tether tute 10 1269444862

    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. Small gingham hat 03 22 10 009 1269444954

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

  12. Small teathers 1 use blue 1269445000

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

  13. Small clip tether 1269445188

    Suspender clips can go on almost everything

  14. Small teathers 1 use leaf 1269445215

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