Binky Clip/Key Tether

Mon, 04 Jan 2010 14:12:22 -0500

$6.00
This clever tool keeps baby's binky near by, and never lets it fall on the germy floor again! Loop the snap end through baby's binky, teething ring or favorite toy, then clip the other end to his/her pajamas, car seat, or stroller to keep that lovie within baby's reach!

Another clever use is to loop the snap end around your key chain, clip the other end to the lining of your purse, and never rummage through your purse in search of your keys again!

Packaging is completely recycled! I repurpose the packaging from the bias tape from my tote bags into the packaging for the binky clips! Clever and eco-friendly!

See additional pictures of additional ribbon styles available. Convo for bulk/wholesale rates or custom orders!

SAFETY:

When using this item for your baby, use only under supervision. Each clip is made with the utmost care and quality. Nonetheless, check it before each use, and discard if there are any loose or worn parts.

THE PROCESS
Each tiny doll is carefully cut from your choice (pale, medium brown, or dark brown) of flesh-colored fabric, sewn together, delicately stuffed with high quality fiberfill, and stitched up. Then, each tiny hair-do is cut from felt and sewn to the doll. Next (my favorite part), the doll comes alive when a teeny tiny paintbrush and my steady, loving hand is used to paint on the tiny, delicate features. Each doll is equipped with painted on underwear and painted on shoes. Then, a tiny outfit is cut from colorful felt, embellished with great attention to detail and delicacy with a decorative stitch, sewn together, and then the buttons and snaps are each sewn on by hand.

These dolls are perfect for taking along in the car, to church, grandma's house or at the hospital. Ideal for doll houses! These dolls are also excellent for use in child play-therapy for counselors and child-therapists.
