Easy Pet ID Tags

Step 5 Add colour, name, contact information, and decorate

Colour background
On a couple of the tags that I experimented with I coloured the background, this looks really nice and stands out when placed on a white (and ginger) cat, but upon shrinking the colour darkens considerably making the writing more difficult to read.  So I would recommend using lighter colours or leaving it white.

Name and contact information
The information you put on the tag is discretionary, the important thing is that someone will be able to contact you if they find your pet.  The pet's name and your phone number(s) are probably the most important,  you can also put on your address, and the pets medical information (if relevant) or even your own name. Write clearly and use a fine tipped marker  to ensure that the information is legible after it has shrunk. 

Decorate
Add embellishment if you would like.  I drew hearts and flowers, fish or dog bones would be cute too (if your into cute).
