Love pacifiers or hate them, sometimes they are essential. My sweet pea loves her binky, as we call it, and we currently have five of her favorite brand. Although I can only ever seem to find two or three at any one time...
One of the first things I made for the wee one was a strap to connect her favorite binky to a stuffed elephant toy/rattle, in an attempt to keep track of it - the theory being that the elephant is harder to lose:
I made it with two widths of ribbon, with the narrow decorative ribbon stitched down on top of the plain wide ribbon. The unadorned portion at the bottom wraps around the rattle:
I made it so it's removable from both the toy and the pacifier, so that I can change the toy or still use the pacifier without the toy attached.
I found this to be useful, as she would frequently pull the binky out of her mouth just by flailing her arms around and accidentally pulling on the ribbon. So when we're at home and she's just lying in one place, I tend not to use it.
If we're going somewhere in the car or stroller, it's helpful to have it attached to something in case she spits it out, so we don't lose it and then have a crisis.
Plus, it's cute!
