On-the-Go Napkin Bib Clip

09.27.10

Now that I’m on baby number three, I don’t have the arsenal of supplies I had with babies one and two. I finally switched from a diaper bag to a purse a year or two before this baby came (when my other son was THA-REE), and I guess I was afraid that if I went back to the diaper bag, I may never carry a purse again. I’d be a seventy-year-old woman still meaning to buy myself a nice bag. But there are a few things I keep in my purse for baby just incase, and this is one of them. I’ll have my baby model.

Just two barrettes on a ribbon. It’s perfect for turning a napkin into an impromptu bib. For a friend’s baby I used this tutorial at mairuru (found via noodleheads) to make a pretty version. It’s a super easy project, and nice for people like me who like to give something handmade without exposing our poor friends to our amazing INability to sew. Visit mairuru to get all the details. All I did was add a ribbon.

Awesome idea! I have several friends expecting babies this fall / early spring and they will be getting a set of these bib clips. Too clever!

Adorable! My little one is still young enough to need a bib, so…I think I’m going to be making these this week. :D

And what a lovely way to wrap a baby shower gift!

I hate to say it, but I’m officially addicted to your blog.

This is such a great idea! I love that you used it as a tag holder.

So cute. I could use this everyday. I love the idea of including the ribbon to wrap around baby and a second clip. Such a great idea!
