[Made with Construction Paper] Handmade Name Tag Ideas

lighterutatane
A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Name tags are an essential item for helping people remember your name and making it clear who items belong to.

This is especially true for children, who can easily lose track of their seats or belongings, so name tags are often used as markers.

In this article, we’ll share ideas for making name tags out of construction paper that are handy in those situations.

There are many ways to use them—placing them on desks, attaching them to bags or clothing, and more.

They’re useful not only for children but also for adults, such as when meeting new people or assigning roles.

Many of these ideas are easy to adapt, so please use them as a reference.

Here’s an idea for making a rosette using construction paper and masking tape.

First, prepare two circles cut out of construction paper.

Next, cut a 10 cm piece of masking tape and fold it in half, leaving about 1 cm of the adhesive exposed.

Then fold it in half again, this time leaving about 0.5 cm of the adhesive exposed.

When folding, don’t crease it sharply—keep the ends soft and rounded.

Make 10 of these and attach them radially to one of the paper circles.

Cut a 20 cm piece of masking tape in a different color and fold it in half.

Fold it again into a V shape, then trim both ends decoratively with scissors.

Prepare a safety pin; wrap masking tape around it while leaving some adhesive exposed, and attach it together with the decorative tape to the remaining paper circle.

Be sure to position the safety pin so it sticks out beyond the edge of the paper circle.

Finally, glue the two paper circles together to finish!

Disney cast-style name tag

Super easy: No shrink plastic or resin needed! These name tags are too cute—and perfect for your oshi merch, too!

Disney cast-style name tag

You can easily make cute, name-tag-style pieces like the ones worn by Disney park staff and cast members.

Print a design shaped like a name tag featuring your favorite character, etc.

Trace the printed design onto thick paper such as construction paper, and cut it out with scissors.

Attach the cut-out template to a plastic PP sheet and trace it.

When cutting the traced PP sheet, be sure to cut along the inside of the line.

Use a craft knife and sandpaper to finish it neatly.

For the printed sheet, cut along the inside of the outer line, then rub on a wall-protection film and stick it down.

Soak it in lukewarm water and gently rub off the paper backing of the protection sheet with your finger.

Stick the designed piece onto the PP sheet, and attach a pin or clip on the back using double-sided tape.

Coat the edges of the name tag with top gel or adhesive to finish.

Heart-shaped stand name tag

Origami name tag nameplate, free-standing type

Heart-shaped stand name tag

Let’s try making a cute heart-shaped nameplate out of origami.

Origami is often used as a recreational activity, right? It’s fun to enjoy origami during a rec session, and this project is also recommended as a practical craft you can use afterward.

Plain origami paper works fine, but using patterned paper makes it even cuter.

The white area on the back is where you write the name.

The key feature of this nameplate is that it stands on its own.

It’s a nameplate you can casually place on the table during a tea party or a chat.

#02 “A Must-See for Beginners!” Learn How to Stencil Without Failing [ANALOG STUDIO]

Stencil

Stencils with a soft, blurred look have a charm that’s different from name tags made with paint or pens.

Put some paint on a sponge.

Tape the stencil sheet in place on the backing paper, then dab the paint-loaded sponge up and down.

The key is to load only a small amount of paint onto the sponge and build up the color in layers.

If you use too much, the paint will seep through the gaps in the stencil sheet and the letters will bleed.

A single color works well, but it’s also fun to use several colors for the lettering and enjoy the creative process.
