      Consider the audience for whom you are making the badges. The requirements will be different if you're doing it for a corporate gathering or for a 6-year-old play date. Some badges might need to be more formal than others.

      Purchase the needed materials. For a corporate gathering (for example), you'll want card stock you can run through a printer. For the play date, the cards and some safety pins would suffice.

    • 3

      Design your badges. The website listed in Resources lets you choose colors, borders, sizes and various shapes such as squares, ovals and five-pointed stars.

      Make the badges. For a corporate gathering, print out the badges on a computer. For the play date, children could cut out their own badges.

Tips & Warnings

  • Use colors like gold, silver, or bronze for metal badges. For children's badges, use tape instead of safety pins so kids won't get pricked.
