    I've made many of these.... Used different textures and wideths of ribbon for the "tags". I've also heard of these being called "teething blankets".
    For years, I made a matching one when I made baby blankets

    *the button hole/hook idea is great*

    I make them with minky on one side and satin on the other. Put loops of various ribbons spaced around them(loops were only 3/4-1 inch long). Babies love to feel the different textures.

    I thought about tiny fingers being caught in thr loops too. I suppose you could make flat tabs, not looped.

    Got this baby cube with tags on as a project this morning.

    I know it has embroidery on it but you could applique or just patchwork each side?

    Please post a pic. My 7 month old son loves tags! With him though the tags have to have words on it like clothing tags he likes to look at the letters. I was thinking of making him one....
