How To Make Suspenders At Home

I don’t know about you, but I think lanyards are one of the cutest accessories for a child.Read: how to make tights at home I wish I could pull them off… and I still try them sometimes when I wear wide leg pants 😉 (see instructions for them HERE). lucky too fast. No borders, or rotations, or taps. The elastomer does most of the work and makes the sling more comfortable to boot! Material

1 inch wide spandex, about 1-2 yards
two slides
four pieces of rope
suitable topic
sewing needles, preferably jersey knitting needles
optional: fray test

Material Notes:

– Elastic – Be sure to use woven elastic. Folded elastic is too flimsy. Jo-Ann has a lot of unique colors. I found my gold and striped elastics in an Etsy store called Strap Crafts.– You can find hangers and sling clips at Jo-Ann. For this tutorial, I used recycled clips from glove clips that I found clearing at Walmart for less than $1 – You can use a regular sewing needle, but what if If you have a shirt knitting needle on hand, you’ll likely end up with cleaner stitches and fewer missed stitches, since elastic is a stretchy material. – Doesn’t need to be checked for tear, but will give the sling cleaner a cleaner look because it seals the raw edges of the elastic. Alternatively, you may decide to finish the raw edges with a zig zag stitch. GuideStep 1: Measure your recipient from waist to waist first, use that measurement and then add about 8-10 inches so your sling can be adjusted. If you cut them 18-24 inches long will fit most kids. Cut two pieces of elastic.Step 2: Insert one raw end into the sling slider, fold it about 3/4 inch and sew in place. Make sure to reverse stitch at the start and stop of each stitch. Repeat for both elastics. Finish rough edges with Fray Check.Read more: How to background miniatures | Top Q&AStep 3: Only clip the sling to the elastic from the other raw end, almost all the way to the top of the slide. Leave a few inches between the clip and the slide so you can thread the raw end through the slide.Step 4: Now that the front of the straps is in place, let’s finish the back of the straps. Read the second clip onto the remaining raw end, fold the end over and sew in place. Rough edge finishing with the Fray Test.Make sure that both clamps are facing the same direction. Repeat for both straps. Step 5: Sew the straps together. With both right sides of the straps facing up, cross them at the back. Measure your receiver about 1/2-3/4 of the way up the back and use that measurement to determine the crossing position of the straps.TIP: Make sure to sew slowly. You will have more clean lines if you take your time. Read more: How to make the pussy tighter. Your suspenders are ready to shake!If you can’t tell, she loves the ones with stripes the most. She couldn’t stop dancing in them. She even beats some Napoleon Dynamite-like moves. Ha! She broke me.If you ask her, she will say that the gold ones are her favorite thing.Can you blame her? I wish I had enough gold elastic for me. ????Jo-ann’s also wears a lighter yellow elastic that you can see in her skirt. Speaking of which, I made a dress for her using THIS tutorial that shows you how to create a dress with a flexible waist in any size. The material is a silver tank top from H+M that I have the straps cut off.I first shared the idea of these elastic hangers when I shared my kids’ Easter outfits over a year and a half ago (speak of slow blogger!
