A name tag lanyard may be more exciting and attractive to wear if a 3D bead animal can be hung at the center together with the identification card or badge. Animal beads are becoming popular especially for creative people and for young people who would like to wear their name tag holder with a little twist. 3D bead animals are made using three-dimensional beading technique from Japanese and Chinese origin. This beading technique uses basic bead weaving which is further divided into other weave such as the right angle weave and the peyote stitch.

The stitches may be done using the fishing line or the nylon thread. However, the fishing line is stiffer at the same time the better one to use but if one wishes to use the peyote stitch, the nylon thread is more appropriate because it is more pliable. Materials in making a 3D bead animal include a fish line, cutters, glue and some colored beads. Some may make use of plastic beads, crystal beads or even Swarovski beads. Seed beads may also be used depending on the choice of the maker. It may be difficult for beginners to make their first 3D bead animal but with every piece that they make refine their skills in the use of this technique.

A 3D bead animal need to be just of the right size if one wishes it to dangle with the identification card or badge that is attached to the name tag holder. Lanyards need not be boring and ordinary for children and young people. Using 3D bead animals as part of the design makes it more pleasant to wear especially for the young and the restless individuals who are always attracted to unique and playful designs. Beaders and lanyard makers may yet offer a one of a kind name tag holder lanyard with a 3d bead animal.
