I love these bling lanyards but I only had 3 leftover from past teacher appreciation gifts - Sparkle tagsPink Ribbon gifts, and more Sparkle tags.

Bummed I don't have enough for this event.

I made the tags double sided gold glitter photo on the back. Attached with double sided tape.

I thought about buying black office lanyards with clips but they weren't fancy enough.
It's a red carpet event after all.



I decided to make my own!!!

I bought 3 rolls of gold ribbon at Micheal's for $4.99 each and used a 40% off coupon. Each roll had 10 yards and made 10 lanyards with a little bit of ribbon left.

I used an award metal my son received as a template for approximate measurement. I also wanted to copy how it was put together. 

I purchased 50 gold jewelry loops for $2.99.  I ended up not liking the split rings since they scratched the tags when trying to attach. I bought single jewelry rings about the same size. Just bend to open and bend back. 120 (mix of large and small) for $3.99.

I didn't want to get the sewing machine out so I tried to hand sew the ribbon but that wasn't happening. The metallic strands just came apart. Then I tried hot glue but it just peeled off.

OKAY. Plan C.

 I tried super glue. Lol. FINALLY that worked.

I applied the super glue at an angle. I didn't take a pic of the glue but marked on the photo the angle I applied it.

Let dry.
Cut along the angle, just before the line of super glue. 
Open ribbon so it makes a V shape.
Take the end and fold it over.
This makes the flap that attaches the ring.

I used super glue to attach and held in place with a clothes pin until dry.

One down and 6 more drying. I let the glue dry over night but I'm sure you could work on them sooner.


I added one more ring on the VIP tag and attached the two rings.
Again, I didn't like the split rings on the tags. They attach like key rings and it scratched the top of the tag. I'll take a picture of the new rings and update.
Use a hole punch at the top.
All my tags were personalized and the names added near the bottom.
