First we embroideried the name then added crazy patchwork with scraps and machine stitches.
They have a very light batting.
Machine applied "binding". No hand work!
Took maybe an hour??? I did mine at a friend's because I don't have a fun machine that does fancy stitching. :cry: (It's on my wish list)

You can pin them on or use lanyards that have clips.
We have some ladies that like to do beading so they made some pretty beaded lanyards.

Good Luck on your's. Anxious to see what others have done.
Now then 2Doods - this is looking more like it - quick LOL - just up my street.
I could use your idea if you don't mind & pop on some embelishments as Klue suggested.
I'll post the end result once it's done.
Thanks again - Tisha

PS I take it Alice is you name ? - always loved that name for a girl.
