Back to School Backpack Clips

 

Back to school! Is it really that time of year already?!! Yes, it is!  In less than a month, the kids will be heading back to school.

Here are some quick ribbon tags that they can use to decorate a gym bag, backpack or binder using Gwen Studios ribbon.





Start with the finding you will use to attach the tag.  This can be a key ring, a large paper clip or a large lobster clasp.

For the ribbon, you'll need about 15" of 1/4" or 3/8" satin ribbon.

Slide the ribbon through the loop of the ring or clip. Make an overhand knot.

Slide on large hole beads, like pony beads.  Then, add a name or nickname and other fun beads. Overhand knot after the last bead.  Trim the ends of the ribbon.

For this tag, the pony beads slide on over both ribbons.


For this tag, which can be used on a book or binder, the beads slide on one ribbon.


For this tag, use two strands of ribbon and one of cord.  The cord is beaded with acrylic beads.


With the variety of ribbons available from Gwen Studios, the choice of beads and charms and YOUR imagination, these tags will be your unique creations!

You can find Gwen Studios ribbon at Walmart, Joann's, Michaels and on Amazon.  Here are a couple of links to get you started:
