Name Tags

[Owl62]

Does anyone know how to make the little wooden name tags (about 3X3") that hang from the uniform shirt pocket buton by a little piece of leather?

 

I am interested most in the type where a small image such as a Wood Badge critter is placed on the wood, the Scout/Scouters name included somewhere on the tag and then the whole thing is covered with a clear coating.

 

Thanks.

If you were looking for a DIY type project mabey a wood burning set would be suitable for marking the tag. Otherwise paints or permanent marker would make sense. High gloss acrylic varnish would make that shiny clear coat over wood. Cut the wooden tag to size, glue a tombstone shaped piece of leather on the back for a hanger with a slit cut for the button, mark it how you want (mabey make a stencil and mark it in pencil first) and go for it.
