Backpack ID Tags

The girls are back to school this week. Zoe will be in second grade and Annika is starting Kindergarten. I'm so sad about that. I'm going to try very hard not to stalk her on the playground like I did to her sister in her first week of Kindergarten.

I'm excited about school starting and getting back to a routine, so when I saw this idea to make backpack tags, I came out of my shark carnage funk and went to town.

I got this idea from Tip Junkie in her back-to-school post. This led me to Adventures with the Provosts to try for a closer look. Mique uses luggage tags for her tags, but I couldn't find any clear ones (at the one store I looked, because I'm impatient like that), so I improvised.


I found these badge ID holders at Wal Mart, and I figured they would work great combined with these book rings. They were dang cheap too, so I'm all over that.

They were pretty quick to put together too. I spent the most time trying to find pictures that were the right size. I adhered the piece of ribbon all around the top with photo tape to secure the opening and keep moisture out.

My ID tags for 2009-10, which I've changed a little, are here.
