How to make a dog tag

A pet tag is a great way to show your personality and make sure your pet always has their identification on them. Here are some easy steps to make your own personalized pet tag!

1. Choose your materials

You will need a piece of metal or plastic for the base of the tag, and then you can decorate it however you like! Some ideas for decoration include paint, beads, glitter, or even rhinestones.

2. Cut out your shape

If you are using metal, you can use a cookie cutter or other sharp object to cut out the shape of your tag. If you are using plastic, you can use scissors or a craft knife.

3. Decorate your tag

This is the fun part! Get creative and add whatever decorations you like. Make sure to let the paint or glue dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Once your decorations are dry, you can add a hole for a leash or collar attachment, and then add your pet’s name and identification information with a permanent marker.
