I'm one of those people that needs an ID badge at work. In a previous life, my options were somewhat restricted in that I also wore a uniform which meant very little opportunity to be creative. I mean, people commented on my hot pink retractable reel and I didn't even bling it out! So now, I'm working on some lanyards to go with various work outfits. Originally, I made just this simple spiral lanyard, which will probably end up being my "everyday" lanyard. However, I got bored (surprise!) and pulled apart some old Christmas stuff to make this adorable red, white, and black panda lanyard.
Unlike the first lanyard I made, this one is adjustable in length. The idea is that when you're short like me, you want something long enough to reach the card swipe but also something that doesn't hang so low it gets in the way when you're working. The other interesting thing about this lanyard is that it's weighted down on each end instead of making a closed loop. One end is the adorable panda, and the other is a blossom made of fire polished Czech beads (can you tell that's my favorite type of glass bead?) as a counterweight.
It's totally different than anything else folks will be wearing at work, so we'll see whether or not I succumb to peer pressure and conform!
