and what better to go with an awesome striped tie…then some pimp suspenders.
I got these awesome clips from here
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)
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.
