suspenders



and what better to go with an awesome striped tie...then some pimp suspenders.

I got these awesome clips from here
they got loads of awesome supplies for binky clips
and suspenders...
i got 3 per suspenders
(you could do 4 and make a basic x instead of a y
like these from kohls




i just took some black elastic
and measure for the kid we were making them for-- you can buy THESE and make them adjustable...but we went for easy.

we took it and made a y...
melted the ends so no fraying
and sewed them onto the clips


then we pinned the back
and added a little pleather over it. (pleather: not real leather cause we aren't made of money)

luckily my sister helped me mass produce..

then we slapped them on the kids...
(instense concentration)

is she my sister or what?

last time i was at joanns i took a picture of all these colorful elastics that you could use! so many fun ones!


look how cute these are. (they were on a daily deal website) but you could easily take some fabric paint and stamp them!!!!

don't they just look adorable!
 oh. how i waste my time....

    I love suspenders. I called them "bing dongs" when I was little. I used to crawl up onto my grandpas lap and pull them away from his chest, release, and say "bing dong". No idea why but I did and now its a family classic.

    Love your bing dongs!

    That is a fantastic pic of the boys at your sisters wedding. Suspends came out great. I have a kid with no waist or bum who needs them, maybe I could give this a go in different colors - I say maybe because my sewing skills are not overly good, but it does look doable for me, I am scared of the pleather though, I have never used it.
