Felt Name Tags

November 5, 2012 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Crafts, Embroidery, RMGS 2012-13

name tag

The felt name tag is a simple embroidery project that I used for my RMGS girls.  I ended up using felt that I had stashed away in the craft room.  I believe it was felt that Rose used for her Christmas gifts from two years ago – felt posies. 

The members of Rosa Mystica Girls’ Society will use the name tags for meetings, social events, and service projects.

    • trim out with pinking shears
  2. write name on felt with sharpie
  3. embroider name onto felt with a split stitch
    • more threads in the floss will yield a bolder name
