If I Have To Wear A Name Tag

I have never liked wearing a name tag. Even when the lanyard is cute I feel like I have been marked somehow. Like a robot. I hate to wear the same thing as someone else. And I have tried many different ways to not wear one, even in situations when it is clear you need to be identifiable at all times. I tie it to my purse or dangle it from a pant loop. I just don't want it around my neck or glued to my breast pocket.

Quite frankly, it interferes with my one of a kind jewelry too. What's the point of being out if I don't wear something I've made? (I have to wear a name tag at the One of A Kind Show at all times.)

Tonight I have outsmarted the lanyard and made something wearable for me! I pulled out this thick maroon felt and this sheet of pre-printed acetate. I decided to sew them into a name tag pocket.

The sewing machine had no trouble tackling this job. Once the pocket was created, all I had to do was embellish!

A few hours of bad TV and my name tag was done. Beads, buttons, silk ribbon and rhinestones all hand-sewn into place.

I'll wear this attached to the bottom of my shirt or on an actual necklace. Very one of a kind! Everyone should have one for their next convention!
