Frugal On The Go: Instant Bib

Need a bib and left yours at home? Or the one you brought is covered in food, and you need another one?

You'll just need to make and keep this in your purse or diaper bag!

Take two suspender clips and about 10 inches (25cm) of fabric elastic to make a bib for your baby, instantly, wherever you are.

How to Make: Just fold each end of the elastic around the loop of one of the suspender clips and stitch.


Now you can use this handy gadget to clip a washcloth (or two, for heavy droolers!) cloth diaper, or hand-towel around baby's neck

Or store it in your purse or diaper bag for on-the-go, and use it with the restaurant's cloth or paper napkins.

Other Uses: With a shorter piece of elastic and two more clips, you can make mitten clips (attach one end to mitten, other end to sleeve).

Or even shoe clips for those little ones who like to kick off their shoes! (Fasten one end at the back of a shoe, the other end to pant leg.)

Or fasten to snow pant cuff, wrapping under sock foot, to the opposite side of snow pant cuff - to keep snow pants from riding up!
