Craft idea: personalised dummy chain with name

Dummy chains are not only beautiful to look at, but also incredibly practical. When clipped onto babies’ clothing, the small accessories ensure that the dummy does not end up on the floor when the baby decides that it doesn’t want to suck it anymore. Personalised with the name of the small new arrival, such a present is guaranteed to conjure up a smile on the face of the young parents. A cord forms the basis for the dummy chain, on which you can thread small alphabet letter cubes. Depending on the length of the name you are spelling, you can even supplement it with motif beads and coloured wooden beads. A safety bead seals the end of the chain off with a loop and a dummy clip is fixed to the other side of the chain.

You will need the following materials:

1 Dummy chain clip
Cord (PP-polyester or satin cord)
1 Safety bead (12 mm or 10 mm)
1 Motif bead
Alphabet letter cubes to form the desired names
Round beads (10/8 mm) and disc beads (10/5 mm) in the desired colours

Craft idea: pram mobile with personalised name

A pram mobile that you created yourself is both a beautiful as well as practical gift idea for new-borns. When the baby starts to explore the world around it, coloured and rattling toys are particularly interesting. A mobile attached to a pram is therefore perfect for keeping the child occupied when out on walks, as well as keeping the child calm at the same time. The vivid colours of the diverse range of motif beads capture the interest of the child just as much as the miniature bells that quietly and unobtrusively jingle. In this way, the mobile specifically targets the development of the child’s senses of touch and sight and is sure to bring joy as a small gift.

You will need the following to make a pram mobile:

1 Half ring
1 Dummy clip
Motif beads
Alphabet letter cubes
Coloured beads
1 Miniature Bell (15 mm)
1 PP-polyester or satin cord
1 m of 2 mm diameter rubber band
