Step 3: After cutting the fabric I measured and cut the letters that you glue onto the fabric. Using good scissors also leaves none or less loose threads on the ends of the cut parts of the fabric. Using the pens is optional, but it's easier to get it right with them. It's also more practical to glue the letters to the cloth than to the Velcro. Since this part goes onto the soft Velcro it will have to have the same measurements: 10 cm across and 26 cm wide: Īdvice: Why use a white piece of cloth? Simple, looks better and I think they've done something similar in RM. Step 2: After you've cut the Velcro you cut the white fabric. Thickness of the t-shirts also plays its role in durability. Sure it makes them easier to grab, but the t-shirts last longer and it would be a pain to have to sew Velcro onto new t-shirts every time one is torn. Just look at the earlier episodes where their t-shirts were torn apart, mostly by Kim Jong-Kook. Īdvice: The reason for the softer part to be longer than the rougher is because it lessens the risk the t-shirt tearing apart when someone is trying to rip the name tag of. Then cut the softer piece at least 6 cm longer than the rough piece - making it 26 cm. The rough piece will later be sewn onto the t-shirt. Step 1: First I would measure and cut the Velcro. ![]() Note that all actual material in the pictures I use for the tutorial won't always be at their proper measurements as I use some of these as examples only for the tutorial. The process is somewhat simple, but requires a bit of precision if you want them to turn out well. So let's assume you've now got the materials you need to make your own home-made name tag. Patience - the patience kinda comes with the enthusiasm from making your own name tags, but it's worth mentioning that this takes a bit of time. White Fabric/Cloth - good quality is obviously a good choice here.įleece - I chose fleece to use for the letters since you can also wash fleece, or rather if you play a game with water there won't be any damage to the material. If you want something larger, for example for huge punishment name tags, around 20 cm should do compared to my tags(10 cm). I've used Velcro that is 10 centimetres across I think it works for your regular name tags - though they probably use 15 or 20 centimetres across in RM if you compare. Glue for fabrics - the glue I used was water resistant, meaning you can wash it without it losing its effect. Pens - special ones for marking on fabric One of these(not sure what it's called in English). Thread and needle, but preferably a sewing machine. Good Scissors - makes a whole lot of difference if you use good or bad scissors. My biggest mistake was choosing T-shirts that were too thin as I explain further down in the post. :DĪlso note that when I set out to make my own name tags I intended to make them last for a while, even when playing games. My aim for this tutorial is to make it clear so that if anyone else wants to make their own, I will have given them the best advice I can as someone who's done it before. So this is a thread I should have made a long time ago as I said I would in another thread where I showed my own process of making name tags for T-shirts - not making it a tutorial. ![]()
