Duct Tape Backpack Tags

The duct tape used for these duct tape backpack tags was provided by Duck Brand but all opinions are my own.

I’ve been having lots of duct tape fun lately with all the great patterns that are available and today I want to show you the simple little duct tape backpack tags I made for my big kindergarteners.

I printed the kids’ names in a bold font on regular printer paper and cut two pieces of clear vinyl slightly larger than the paper pieces.

Using sheets of duct tape, I cut two pieces {4 inches by 2 3/4 inches}.  Flames for Luke, purple for Lila.  You could also use regular duct tape to make these tags but you’ll need to overlap a few pieces to create a similar sheet.

I removed the adhesive back from the sheet and then laid the duct tape sheet right side down.  Centering the name paper, I carefully placed it onto the adhesive and then placed the clear vinyl over it.

Using strips of coordinating duct tape, I wrapped the tape around all four sides …

… to give them a finished look.

When they were wrapped {and any excess duct tape was trimmed from the edges}, they ended up as firm rectangles with the paper names protected by clear vinyl.

… and the kids used carabiners to attach the duct tape backpack tags to their backpacks.

They’re cute, sturdy, and a little different.  And they got a thumbs up from the kiddos.

    Great idea. I’ve been thinking of what to do for my two older ones. I might use this idea.

    I have been looking for bag tags for my big kids, since they seem to think that all the others I have found were too “baby” for a first and fourth grader. lol Thanks for the idea, I am totally doing this!

    Thank you for sharing this. My son started preschool and insists upon bringing a backpack – usually mostly empty – to school with him. We need to have his name on his backpack, but I didn’t want to write it on there. This will work great! 🙂
