How to make your own badges
You will need the following items:
* 1 safety pin, preferably large (your Mom should have one lying around somewhere. If not, ask a friend or else a package of them is really really cheap at Wal-Mart)
* 1 chunk of stiff cardboard (the back side of a pad of paper works great)
* Some wide clear packaging tape (you should have some lying around, again, if not, ask a friend or it’s really cheap a the store)
* 1 printed copy of the badge
* 1 pair of scissors
Print the badge and cut out as needed. Cut out the stiff cardboard to the same size as the badge. Poke the dull end of the safety pin through the cardboard so that the pin can stick in to something else (like your shirt) and close with the cardboard on the outside (this may take some creative hole punching with the assistance of the scissors). Place the printed logo over the non-pointy side of the cardboard/pin contraption. Tape the logo to the cardboard with one big piece of tape that covers the whole logo and overlaps all edges some, carefully folding the tape over to the back of the cardboad so that it is one big piece (be sure not to cover the pointy part of the pin). Wear pin and have fun!! ^_^
