Military Nametape Bracelet: Day 8

I'm not sure if it's just a military thing or not, but I love having my hubby's name with me at all times. No... Not his given name but his surname. I am so honored and blessed to be his wife. He is truly my hero!


The main item that I carry around with is name on it is my military ID, however I can't display that or craft it up so I had to find something else.


I was online a few months ago planning on making a military purse, but I'm not a great sewer and I get irritated very quickly at times. So as I'm searching for templates I come across a Facebook page with amazing Nametape bracelets. This lady was ridiculously busy and I had planned on buying from her, her work was perfect! However before I could buy, her page gets bombarded with disrespect and discrimination against my husband's chosen military branch. Each branch is a smaller family inside of the larger family of the military. Anyways, I was gonna leave it alone and still buy from her and then she joined in. That was IT!!! I had no choice but to figure out how to make one of my own.

This bracelet is really easy and only calls for basic sewing skills. I stole one of my hubby's BDU name tags. I then glued two strips of ribbons folded over at the ends and then another one all the way across the back. Then you sew around it all, add a clasp and your pretty much done. See! Like I said simple!


For me this is a great way to show my love, honor and respect of not only my hubby but of a military personnel protecting my family's freedom. It's also a great way to keep him close to me when he has to leave and do his job elsewhere.


I am so in love with my hubby and my bracelet and I can't wait till I get to make some more. I already have 2 more name tags waiting for so crafting to happen.

I hope yall enjoy this post and maybe inspire you to craft something of your own. See yall tomorrow!
