New Crafts
I'm trying my hand at pacifier holders. I know there are a few tutorials out there, anyone have a good one? I couldn't get past the concept that I HAD to use a snap setter. A good old fashion hammer worked just fine for me. What do you recommend for the clothing clasp part?
If you're interested in a tutorial, let me know and I'll try to whip this one up.
