Tutorial: Make a bib extender to lengthen neck straps

Craft Passion shares a tutorial for making a bib extender, essentially a piece of ribbon with velcro at either end. When fastened to the back of a bib, it extends the neck piece of the bib to accommodate a growing baby’s larger neck. Brilliant!! And made out of pretty grosgrain, it’s cute to boot! (You’ll need to match the closure type on the extender to the closure type on the bib. If your bib uses snaps, you’d need to put the same size snaps at the ends of the extender.) Get the tutorial.
