I made this secret agent badge using the packaging from my most recent Shutterfly order (remember all those free print deals?). Shutterfly always ships your photos with an index card of the pictures you ordered, and I always wondered what I could do with those tiny little pictures. I cut a bunch out for my son to use to build a collage, and he ended up using push pins and sticking them to a corkboard. But one day he came home from school with a police badge, and I thought these little pictures would be perfect for pretend ID!!
I used the orange Shutterfly picture envelope because the paper is quite thick and sturdy, and cut one rectangle bigger then the second. I mounted the orange side on the white side, and glued one of the tiny photos on top and added some gold stars from our generous supply of stickers. For older kids you could add a string so they can wear it around the neck. There are a million possibilities for ID depending on what your kids think is cool. I made these to coincide with an investigation, which I will post about next!
