With a name tag like this, you'll make a great first impression! These name tags can also be a gift for anybody, after all, who wouldn't want one?

Materials

You will need:
A sharpie/ marker of your choic
A pushpin
Flashlight (preferably small)
Hard, thick plastic/ glass
Hot glue gun

The Plastic

Find a way to get a good sized peice of hard plastic. A piece of plexiglass would work. Being a teen with no job or allowance with cheap parents, I had to cut a candy container to get mine. Cracks appeared randomly, but I kinda like how it looks. Get two pieces of plastic: one that you will write your name on, and one that will give it color.

Writing Your Name

Use the pushpin to scratch your name on. You can use more advanced tools that might make it look neater, but again, I don't have that kind of stuff. When you're done with the front side, flip the plastic over and trace it. I find that outing some colored paper underneath the plastic makes it easier.

Adding Color

Take your smaller piece of glass and color it with any color of your choice. Try to avoid light colors like cyan and yellow.

Attach

Using the hot glue gun, glue the two pieces perpendicularly.

Light It Up!

Put the flashlight behind your colored glass and turn it on! Congrats! You have your very own light up name tag!
