Safety Note!
Please use yarn that is soft, non-toxic, and suitable for babies when making this project.
For safety reasons, avoid using small objects such as buttons, as they may pose a choking hazard. The buttons shown in the photos are for demonstration purposes only. Instead, I recommend using a soft, crocheted button made from leftover yarn.
If you choose to use buttons, please ensure they are securely and tightly sewn onto the strap to prevent any risk of them coming loose.
