Make the tags fun to wear by adding race car graphics and personalization in fun, easy-to-read fonts. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Create a new document in any word-processing program, such as Microsoft Word or Works.
2. Click on "Table" and select "Insert Table." Choose the number of columns and rows you would like. For example, if you need ten name tags, you would set the number of columns to two and the number of rows to five to create ten cells in the table. Set the row height to 2 inches and the column width to 3 inches, and then click "OK."
3. Go to "Insert," click on "Picture" and then choose "Clip Art." Type "race car" into the search box on the popup menu to browse the racing clip art that is available in your software. Double-click the image you want to use on the name tags.
4. Click on any corner of the clip art, and drag it toward the center of the image to make it smaller or away from the center to make it larger. Resize the image as necessary to fit inside the table cell. Copy and paste the image into each of the cells in the table.
5. Press the right arrow key on your keyboard and then press "Enter" two times to place the text marker in the center of the cell. Type a name in the cell. Click with your mouse in the center of each of the remaining cells to add additional names. Change the font by going to "Format" and selecting "Font." Choose a fun font in a bright color that is easy to read for young children.
6. Place a sheet of sticker paper in the printer, and print the name tags as you would print on regular paper. Use a paper cutter or scissors to cut the name tags out of the printed sheet.
