Before you make a hole in the tag,

be sure to put a round sticker or masking tape cut round,

so that it’ll be more like a tag!

I recommend that you should tie it with a colorful string.♪

You can make use of nametag stands in various scenes,

since you can insert the card with names or messages into the slit.

Of course,

it’s useful since you can make them stand when you decorate them.★
