Comments on: HOW TO: Make a Sippy Cup Name Tag http://www.thingamababy.com/baby/2007/05/nametag.html A dad's eye view of baby and toddler stuff Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:34:58 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Elizabeth W. http://www.thingamababy.com/baby/2007/05/nametag.html/comment-page-1#comment-41274 Elizabeth W.

The thing I love about the bumpy is that it is stretchy but very tight, so once you wrestle it on to a bottle it stays on, even bottles that are straight and the whole string thing wouldn't work for. But the beads are very cute - I would totally use that if I had those kind of sippies. One more idea when you are making the bead chain to make it a tad safer - if you knot the string in between each bead then if it breaks only one bead comes off instead of a whole string full.

Ive been going through your blogs from beginning to most recent. I just go to this one & I saw beads! I manage a bead shop in Oak Park, IL called Bead in Hand (Beadinhand.com) and would love to see customers coming in to make this kind of thing. Thanks for pointing out picking out your string first....its hard when someone has their heart set on a bead w/ a very small hole that just wont fit on the cord. I was so excited to read this post.

Works great. Cheap alternative to bumpybands They also come with words like Love and Believe on them or just plain.</p> I went to the dollar store and got some of those rubber/silicone bracelets ( like the Lance Armstrong Livestrong ones) and wrote my daughter’s name on it and stretch it onto sippycups.
