WFMW: Pin-free Name Buttons
More awesome tips at Rocks in My Dryer.
Who wants to poke a hole in their nice clothes, just to display who you are? But sometimes we have no choice. This week I am involved with a youth theatre production and wearing this enormous metal button on my lovely suede jacket.
Being held in place by a great big magnet. Oh yeah!
Great idea!
The things you come up with! That is so cool
What a novel idea!
Oh! This is so smart! I am going to pass this on to the teachers at school. I hate it when they send pins home and we have a little one here at home. They are so dangerous! — the pins, not the little ones.
There is another danger, though, with little ones, and that’s the magnet itself (choking). The one I’m using here is WAY too big to present any problem.
And doesn’t everyone love playing with magnets?
Great tip!!

Oh yeah! A lot of the name badges for workplaces are now magnetic. And you can make them chase each other if you’re bored. No need to ask how I discovered this …
I experienced these magnet buttons/tags last month at a conference. They work OK for a while, but my magnets kept falling off….
This particular one I had no trouble with, but the magnet was huge. I just grabbed it off my refrigerator.
I did have one instance when the name tag I was given to wear was magnetic, but somehow I jarred the front loose from the back and lost the magnetic back. I couldn’t find it anywhere! Until I got undressed that evening - it was stuck to my underwire!
