Butterfly Name Tags

Materials Required:

o               Fine point permanent markers

o               Poly Shrink plastic (available from ‘Create’ at the Flagstaff shops)

o               Butterfly template (one per table)

o               Scissors

o               Safety pin (attached with glue gun)

 

Instructions:

1.       Mark butterfly shape from template onto Poly Shrink plastic

2.       Cut around butterfly shape

3.       Decorate your name tag using the permanent markers and your imagination!  You could use dots, stars, stripes, flowers or even make it look like a realistic butterfly - remembering to have your name written nice and big!  The Poly Shrink plastic will shrink to 40% of original when baked making even the roughest design look like an intricate master piece!

4.       Once you have finished decorating, hand your butterfly to Jenny who will bake it and attach the safety pin.

Other:

We made the committees names tags in advance and for a fun meet & greet with the committee the MOPPETs helpers also made the nametags.

We also decorated spare nametags and left a blank space for new MOPs mums to add their names. 

Throughout the year as more mums come along we can offer the new mum a nametag, let them name it and then shrink it for them.
