Name Tag Tutorial

Oh boy!!  My first tutorial! 

So for Gifted Institute we have to make name tags for all of our camper's doors and I was inspired to make these puppies for my girls!!  So here we go. . if I left something out feel free to write it in the comments and I will fix it lickity split.

First off. . . materials
Tulle*
scissors
needle/thread
paper
letters
glue

*I bought a little over a yard to make 13 name tags and I had enough leftover to make +3 more.

Start off by cutting the tulle into long strips.  mine were 3in wide and the length depended on the size of the name.  But a general rule is a little more than an arms length.  After that, tie loose knots to separate the little flags. ( Make one knot for every letter in the name plus one more).

Next, you are going to cut out little flags (triangles) to put all your letters on.  I made a template and traced it on all the paper I wanted to use.  My flags were 3in long x 3.5 in tall, and I found those were just perfect!

Woohoo!  Halfway there!  Next you'll glue your letters onto the flags, I just used a glue stick because I will only need these for a week, but if you want these to last a little longer I would use modpodge or something similar.  You can use stickers or letter from a cricut, which is what I used since I needed to make so many.

Now for the fun part.  I really didn't know how I would go about connecting my pieces together, and finally I decided to use a needle and thread.  But I suppose you could use some strong double sided tape or hot glue.. . whatever you feel most comfortable doing!  (I only did two little tacks on each side of the flag)

Tada!  You name yourself a name tag to hang on a door or a wall or where ever you want to put it!

I plan on doing a whole bunch more of these fun tutorials from my adventures in crafting. . so stay tuned :)
