Zip ties can be wonderful when tagging! Punch a hole through the center of your tag (we suggest you reinforce your punched hole with a piece of clear packing tape), thread zip tie through and attach to pant with belt loops, shoes, belts, anything you can secure a zip tie around. Connect small to mid-size pieces to a larger piece (toy, etc.). Hook a hair accessory to an outfit, a bonnet to a dress, etc. Easy and removal does not cause damage!
