Personalized Pacifiers

A few weeks ago my littlest little man started daycare in anticipation of my maternity leave coming to an end. While I was gethering the items he would need to keep there, I decided to personalize his pacifiers in hope that they would get mixed up with the other little babies.

(Can I get a collective "ewwwwww!")

I started out with two plain, if not a little bright, pacifiers.

I measured the width of the oval on the front of the pacifiers and used my Silhouette to cut out my son's name in white vinyl that would easily fit on each pacy.

I used some vinyl tranfer paper to put the name on each pacifier.

And because little hands can get busy very quickly I wanted to give the vinyl some extra protection from getting picked off. So I added a very light coat of Mod Podge.

Now the letters are there to stay and hopefully only my son will be using them! :)
