Challenge #1- Name Tag

Since it has been so long since we have met in person, I thought it would be a great time to make a new name tag. You can wear this to each meeting so we can get to know everyone names a little easier. How it will work is you make your name tag bring it to the meeting and the members will vote on their favorite! The winner will win a prize!

Rules:
1. Must be able to read your name

2. Bring to the May 26th Meeting at the Whetstone Library

3. Made mostly out of fabric
