What You Will Need

Blue, white and purple sponge paper
Craft scissors
Plastic cover
A piece of sewing invisible clip button
Black marker
Concrete glue

Directions

Step 1: Gather the material needed

Step 2: Cut a cat head form from the purple sponge paper

Step 3: Make a pair of cat ears

Cut a pair of ears by forming a pointed triangle on the topmost part of it. You can use blue sponge paper for this. This will be the cat’s ear.

Step 4: Concrete glue the ear on the purple head

Step 5: Cut a pair of small oblongs. This will be the eyes of the cat

Step 6: Glue the eyes just below the ears of the cat

Cut a small triangle that is proportional to the face of the cat. This will be the nose of the cat. Glue the nose in the center of the face just below the eyes.

Step 7: Cut six small short strips from the blue sponge paper

Step 8: Glue the blue strips in pairs for both sides of the cat’s face

You should have three pairs for this. This will be the whiskers of the cat.

Step 9: Using a black marker, draw the mouth of the cat

Step 10: Draw the cat’s distinctive eyeballs

Step 11: Cut a rectangle that is big enough to fit in the back of the cat’s head

Use a blue sponge paper for this. Carefully cut the middle of the rectangle leaving just a small border on it. This rectangle will be used to hold the information on the bag tag.

Step 12: Cut a piece of plastic and glue it on the rectangle

Step 13: Trim the excess plastic on the sides of the rectangle

Step 14: Fix the rectangle on the back of the cat’s head

Step 15: Cut a strip of white sponge paper that is 7 cm. x 2 cm

Step 16: Cut another blue strip

Cut another blue strip, but this time, slimmer than the white one with 1 cm. in width only.

Step 17: Concrete glue the blue over the white sponge strip

Step 18: Fix the strip on the top of the cat’s head

Generously glue this for durability since this will hold the bag tag to the bag itself.

Step 19: Attach the sewing invisible clip button

Generously glue the sewing invisible clip button on the strip

Step 20: Write important information on tag

Write the important information like name of the bag owner, address, contact number, etc. on a piece of paper and slip the paper on the information box on the back of the cat’s head.

Step 21: Your animal bag tag is ready to use!

You can also use this to tag your lunch boxes, purse or even water jugs. The length of the strip that holds the bag tag can also be altered based on your needs, especially if you want a longer strip. This bag tag is also waterproof since we used sponge paper. Make several animals if you want! Share it with your family and friends! Enjoy!
