I had a bunch of ribbon I had picked up in the dollar bin at our local craft store. I borrowed my mother-in-law’s grommet tools. I also bought a ring in the jewelry section of the craft store. Here are my materials:
The first thing we did was take the measurements.
We just took the ribbon and strung it out to the proper length corresponding with the body parts.
Then, I took one of the sheets of labels, which I had on hand and is basically a paper size white sticker. I cut out the sticker to fit on the tip of the ribbon. I wrote the body part on the sticker and stuck that to the ribbon. On the other end, I hammered out the hole for the grommet, put in the grommet and hammered down the other end. This was my first time doing that. It was easy. I know they have other fancy tools, but this little hammer set worked just great. I then put the ribbons on the ring I had chosen. One ring for each child. I also made one ribbon that said the name and age of that child
Oh I like this idea.Very cute and easy to store over the years.
I wanted it storable, so that was definitely intentional. Thanks!

Thank you so much for pinning. I’d love to see your results if you do.
GREAT idea!! I definitely have to do this! So much easier than trying to get the kids to stand still every time!!
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I hope you get it done. I think the kids will have fun comparing down the road.
Ooooh. Very Cute! Wish I could have done this at birth! My boy is 9 months old now. Well I guess better late than never.
Not too late at all. I’m just starting this with my kids. Have fun!
Very cute idea. And I love projects with ribbon!
