Materials Needed
Here is a list of materials used in the tutorial:
- Silk Thread: Two strands are needed for crocheting.
- Crochet Hook: Size 0, 1.75 mm.
- Nylon Thread: Thin for durability.
- Scissors
- Lighter: Used for sealing ends of the thread.
- Rhinestone Strip: Cut into 4 light points (length) and 3 points (width).
- Pearls: Size 4, used for embellishment.
- Duckbill Clip: Main pacifier clip component (4–5.5 cm).
- Felt Fabric: Used as a base for the rhinestones.
- Hot Glue: For securing parts.
- Needle: For threading pearls for embroidery.
Step-by-Step Process
Step 1: Preparing the Chains
- Start by creating a chain of 25 loops using silk thread and a size 1.75mm crochet hook. Form a slip knot and begin your chain.
- Once you've created 25 chains, join the ends with a slip stitch to make a circle.
Step 2: Working Stitch Rows
- Crochet back and forth around the base using half stitches. Insert the crochet hook into each chain, yarn over, and pull through all loops to create smooth stitches.
- Create 10 rows, taking only one leg of each stitch to create a relief effect. This forms the body of the clip.
Step 3: Adding Embellishments
- Use felt fabric as a base for rhinestones. Cut the rhinestone strip into 4×3 light points and attach it onto the felt using cold glue.
- Stitch 3 pearls onto the felt, spacing evenly for decorative purposes.
Step 4: Folding and Securing the Duckbill
- Fold the crocheted strip and insert the duckbill clip into the seam, securing it with thread. Hot glue can be used for added firmness if desired.
- Wrap thread around the duckbill area 3–4 times to ensure it is tight and stable.
Step 5: Finishing Details
- Stitch around the edges using crab stitch to close seams and ensure durability.
- Seal the nylon thread gently using a lighter to give the work a polished appearance.
Step 6: Creating the Pacifier Attachment
- Start with 50 chains to form the loop for attaching a pacifier.
- Mark the loop area using thread and add another 30 chains. Join the ends and crochet around the loop using low stitches.
- Embellish the loop with 3 pearls and finish with thread seals.
Level of Difficulty
This project is beginner-friendly but requires knowledge of basic crochet stitches such as slip stitch, half stitch, and crab stitch. Following the tutorial step-by-step ensures an easy and enjoyable crafting process.
Tutor's Suggestions
The tutor suggests:
- Using thin nylon thread for flexibility and durability.

Uses
- Perfect as part of a baptism kit, offering elegance and functionality.
- Can be customized for everyday use or gifting.
