Dog tag

Last year I made my oldest girl a little something for her backpack.  She was in first grade, her first year that she would be in school all day long.  I knew that it wouldn't be that difficult for her spending all day away from mom because she is such an outgoing child.  (I'm so grateful for that!)  But still, I just wanted to give her a small reminder of home so I came up with this:


Just a simple little backpack tag made out of felt and embroidery floss.  I think it took me a total of 20 minutes and I tied it on the zipper pull with a piece of yarn.

And the back:


After a year I am very surprised it has held up this well.  I kinda expected it to be mauled to death by now!
