The mission of the lost "P"

I am sure I have mentioned it before but Prince has a bit of an oral sensory issue. He likes deep pressure to the back of his jaw in his molar area. At first he bit anyone and anything. Then we took him to OT and learned some stuff now we know how to work with him. One of the things used to work with him is a Ark's Grabber in the shape of a P. He shoves the long in back there and goes to town. He doesn't ALWAYS use it but he does use it about an hour a day and when he gets up.

Well he lost it last Friday. We were not able to get one until Wednesday! It was not a good week or weekend. He also chews on it when he goes to sleep sometimes!!!

When we bought one I was determined to make or buy something that would prevent him from losing it. I went on eBay and thing were priced pretty high. I went to Wal-Mart and got a pacifier holder but that was to short and did not have enough grip for his clothes. So I had to make one!!!

I went to Jo-Ann's for clips and found suspender clips. I had ribbon and material at home. I looked up ideas and went for the ribbon.


At first I used satin ribbon and that did not turn out so well. It was a huge mess. I thought something was wrong with the machine took it apart and all this MESS.

When I went to Wal-Mart earlier I got some cute ribbons out of the 'by the yard' section and decided to use the black and white one. I stitched up the sides where I wanted it closed. It took about 5 minutes and there you have it!!! I was done!!!



The clip is a bit big but it was my first one!! I have more clips coming and I am going to work on one for the munchkin and I will have that up in another post!!! I am hoping to get the hang of it so I can make them for all the new babies that are being born!!!!
