If your badges don't have one already, put a metal clip on it so they can be worn on your clothes. Or alternatively, you can clip them on a lanyard and wear that around your neck :3

Hmm, what is a lanyard?? I guess I need to buy a metal clip! :o

Sounds like you're heading to RBW, then.

Typically the con will give you a buisness-card sized badge on a lanyard to put it around your neck.

For yoour personal badges, they're normally either laminated, and a hole punched in the top, or you can put them in a plastic holder (local stationery store) and attach them like that.

There's normally someone in the dealers den with a laminator, who'll be able to laminate and punch for a small fee if you can't manage to do it before then.

Yeah! :D
Ohh. I've been making my own but they aren't laminated. Maybe I could find a holder. I wasn't sure if they were meant to be a particular size either, so they are kinda random. xD
Thanks!

Stop worrying about it!

Badges tend to come in any shape or size, really -- I've seen a4 ones and back of an envelope ones.

If you get totally stuck, drop me a poke and me and the lion will bring along a few spare holders and lanyards when we come.

I worry about everything! I'm of a nervous disposition. Haha. :D
Okay! If all else fails I'll just hold one in my teeth :3

I've actually seen someone with a bunch of badges take some holders, stuff two into each (front/back), and then put several holders on one snap-clip. And then clip one set to the bottom of the back holder of another set. Oh, and the back ones were upside-down so when you flip them up they're right-side-up.

(Oh, and Staples has better sized holders than Wal-Mart, but the clips are identical and way cheaper at Wal-Mart.)

Ohh..! I don't have wal-mart here (in the UK), and not sure about Staples, but I have some stationary stores, I will try those! Thanks ^^

i clipped mine to my collar :3

Ooh! I need a clip I guess!!

Most of my badges are in little clear plastic sleeves with lanyards that I wear around my neck, or clips/bobby pins that I use to clip them to my shirt. I've got a couple badges where the badge itself is laminated, and there's a hole in the top where I put said lanyard, clip, or bobby pin. As to where you get these badge holders and clips and whatnot, I've been getting all of mine from the artist who makes the badge. I tried going to Office Max to get some, but they didn't have any that were big enough. Try hunting around if you need some, but it shouldn't be too big a worry, since again, you'll be getting them anyway.

What is a lanyard? xD I could get some clips hopefully. Yeah some of my badges might be kinda big I think, eeek :x

It's a cloth necklace thing you wear around your neck that keeps the badge in place.

Like so: http://www.safetysaves.com/safety_w.....les/t_2997.gif

It makes a lot more sense when you actually have it in your hands, too ;)

I know where to get lanyards but I don't think I have spare cash UNTIL the con, aaagghhhhh!
I'll try and lend some + so I'll buy the lanyards for us <3

Oh, awesome! do you think I should still laminate it? Im just not sure how well the ones with 3d stickers on would laminate >_< Or maybe I'd need to punch a hole in the top of the badge itself. Hmm!

Those stickers laminate fairly well, but my laminator is quite a good one, so far? So I'm not sure. :)
It's up to you <3

You could probably use some yarn in a pinch... you know, a sort of braided DIY string thing. Or even a long necklace if you can get the badges to hang from it.

Actually it's not a silly question at all. I'm hoping to attend my first convention in March, and I wasn't 100% sure either. Thanks for asking for both of us!
