DIY: CARD ID TAGS

27 August 2013

Simple and sweet CARD ID TAGS could be called the little sister to yesterday’s Card Pen Case (click here.)  They are a perfect pair. Gather cards, make these with your kids or let them make these alone. We’ve readied back packs, athletic and activity bags.  If you’d like to make these, too, follow below along with the full picture tutorial.

Trace the outline of the collectible Card onto your cardboard. Re-cycled cardboard is perfect just keep in mind that one side must be clean and free from blemishes. Later, that side will be written on and decorated.

Cut the cardboard out neatly along the traced outline.

Write your ID information on the back, cardboard, side of the ID card at this time. Decorate as desired.
Place the Cards back to back — with the collectible image showing on one side and the clean, blank side of the cardboard showing on the back side. At this point, if you would like to snip the top corners at diagonals or alter the shape, do it now.
