When was the last time you got a compliment wearing your ID/Badge? Back in the Philippines, lanyards are rarely used so we rarely get compliments. We either put our ID’s or badges in our wallets or we only hang them whenever needed for a couple of reasons:

1. Our ID’s/Badges look almost the same that they are BORING.
2. It doesn’t fit the outfit.
3. Our ID’s/Badges designs are not fashionable enough to wear everywhere.

Here in Las Vegas, a security-conscious place, almost everybody needs to carry around their information with them. Often a company will require that their worker wear a badge visibly at all times and also to avoid the incident I had before of being thought of as under 18!

One way to avoid the pinning and unpinning that often comes with wearing identification daily and to make match with whatever we are wearing, are beaded lanyards. This can be purchased in almost any style and color combination that is desired. Using a beaded lanyard allows the wearer to wear boring identification while remaining fashionable. Many women are going for this option as they are thinner and have a feminine appearance that resembles a beaded necklace.

There are people who are still hesitant to try this design because they are worried that it may be expensive but they have nothing to concern themselves with cause prices range from $9-$50 depending on the style you want for your lanyard. This accessory is very cheap and can be acquired with less than the cost of a fast food lunch. Because prices are this affordable buyers can get a few so that they can match with whatever outfits they have or will have.

Those that are worried that beads will look cheap, unattractive or come in an assortment of colors that do not match, also need not worry. One can buy these lanyards that are made with seed, glass, wooden and many other types of beads. These often come in a multitude of color combinations and styles.

Beaded lanyards are a fun and an affordable way for the workers to show off their identification. For those who do not need to wear identification, a lanyard can be used for many other things such as carrying a small mp3 player, your cellular phone, or even your keys! This is a very useful tool and with the use of beads it is attractive as well. Wear your ID with style.
