~Noisy Tag Square~

I found this somewhere on the web but I can't remember where I saw it! But it is a very simple, cute idea for a gift for a baby! Babies love noise, and tags or things to grab and suck on. So this is perfect!

Items Needed:
Old Wipe Bag
Ribbon
Scissors
2 squares of material (whatever size you decide to do your square)
Sewing Machine
Pins
Step 1: Cut a square out of your old wipe bag...however big you wanted
Step 2: Trace the square on your 2 different materials *Trace on the wrong side/back side of the material.
Step 3: Cut your strips of ribbon....I did 8 strips.
Step 4: On the front side of one of your fabrics...pin your ribbon....pin it with the cut parts to the edge...if that makes sense. (You also fold your ribbon in half so it makes a loop)
Step 5: Place your other material on top....face down
Step 6: Then place your wipe square on and pin all three of them together.
Step 7: Sew around the edge of the square about 1/2 in. in. But make sure you leave a small opening open so you can turn it inside out.
Step 8: Turn it inside out poke out all the corners
Step 9: Fold in the edges of your small opening and pin it closed...then do a top stich around the whole square to sew the whole thing up. I did a zig zag to add a little cuteness!

The best part is the noise! They will love it! :)
