Both of my kids are obsessed with LEGOs. They have been building, rebuilding and inventing their own creations all summer long. When I asked them what kind of backpack tags they wanted, they both happily agreed on LEGO inspired tags.
I designed two different LEGO inspired backpack tags. Colin’s tag uses the classic LEGO colors and Kara’s tag is the same colors as her LEGO Friends sets. You can make these tags for yourself with my printable file.
Supplies:
- my printable backpack tag file (download in Step 1 below)
- 3M Self-Seal Laminating Pouches (2.7 in x 4.5 in) (affiliate link) or Swingline Luggage Tage with Loop Laminating Pouches (2.8 x 4.5 inches) (affiliate link)
- 8.5×11 white cardstock
- Silhouette or paper trimmer or scissors
- printer
- pen
Directions:
1. Click here to download the PDF or here to download the Silhouette print and cut file. These files are only for your personal use. I would appreciate a comment if you download.
2. Print out the tag(s) and cut them out. For detailed print and cut instructions for the Silhouette, search for “Directions for Silhouette Studio” in this post.
3. Take one self-sealing laminating sheet and place the clear side down. Place the tag facing down on the clear surface. Make sure to center evenly. Bend the top sheet back to separate the white backing. Roll the the backing across the back of the tag while smoothing it down. Smooth and seal the edges with your fingers.
Here are two completed tags.

awesome backpack tags! how do i put more tags on paper? thanks a whole lot!
Oh! I love these! What an awesome idea, thanks for posting this DIY! These would be perfect to pass out for my sons preschool graduation! Is there a way to add two more of the lego tags to one single page? I am going to print these out at Fedex on cardstock since I don’t have a color printer and wanted to cut down on costs. I need to print 24, is that possible?
I’m emailing you.
Just downloaded the Lego backpack tags. Thanks so much for sharing!
You are welcome! I hope you have a great school year.
You are awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Everything (about these adorable little tags) is awesome! 😉 Thanks for the free printable file….I’m sure my son will become obsessed with Legos in no time….I was all about the Wild West set growing up!
Thanks Christine! Your son will probably be ready for Duplos soon. My kids started with those first because they are much bigger and easier to use for little hands.
Thanks for these cute Lego backpack tags. My grandson will love them!
You are welcome! I hope your grandson does love them!
This is so cool, I love my laminator and this is such a useful project, my son starts kindergarten Monday 🙁 Thanks for making this handy printable!
You are welcome Leslie! My youngest started kindergarten 2 weeks ago so I feel your pain! I hope you son has a fantastic first day of school!
Just found your site when doing a search for a backpack tag for my son. He’ll love the Lego tag! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Tiffany! I am glad that you are going to use the tag! Hope your son likes it.
Ok, these are just too awesome! They would work great as luggage tags as well for us grown ups who refuse to grow up. Thanks for joining the Challenge!
I wish I didn’t have to grow up Kristy! 🙂
Thank you for these adorable back pack tags! I will be using them for my 3 kids’ backpacks this school year.
Yay! This makes me happy that you will use these for your kids Tonya! I hope they like them.
These are awesome Kelly! Thanks for sharing. I’m going to have to print one for my son to add to his backpack! Also, I had never heard of those self-laminating sheets before, but I’m pretty sure I am going to start using them for everything!
Thank you Rachel. The self-laminating sheets were in my Haven swag bag but I don’t think they made it into everyone’s bag. My friend said she didn’t get one. The self-laminating sheets are so easy to use and work really well. I like that they came with the loops that I could use to attach them to the backpacks.
These are seriously so stinkin’ cute! Love Legos!!
Thank you Kirsten! The only thing I don’t like about LEGOs is when I accidentally step on one. LOL.
These are great, Kelly! Mark and I just saw The Lego Movie recently – – so I’m hyper excited about all things LEGO. I’d love one of these on my backpack as an adult! 😉
Thank you Lauren. We saw the LEGO movie for the first time at the Orlando Science Center just before it came out on DVD. Needless to say my kids loved it!
Very cute tags. I may have to do something like this for our luggage in October.
These made me think about luggage tags too Angela! I always think about how I should personalize my luggage every time I wait at the baggage carousel when I travel.
Cute tags thanks Kelly
You are welcome Karen! Enjoy.
Oh I know two boys who would go mad for these tags – I might have to make them some for Christmas!
It would be an easy gift to make Clare! I hope you do it.
These tags are just too cute Kelly! I’ll bet your kids love them. I’m going to have to get me some of those self laminating pouches. Have a great week!
The self laminating pouches are great Glenna! They come in all different sizes too. Thanks for stopping by.
My goodness, my lego-lovin’ nephew would LOVE these backpack tags! I’ve been meaning to give those 3M laminating pouches a whirl!!
Funny that you mention the laminating pouches Trisha. I was searching online for something durable I could use to put the tags into and I saw the self laminating pouches. Then I realized that I already had some from my Haven swag bag! LOL!
Looks just like Legos to me!! 🙂 Cute!
Thank you Melanie.
Love these! It’s inspiring me to make luggage tags for my suitcase when we head to SNAP!
Thank you Michelle. I want to make luggage tags too! Hopefully I will do it before the next time I travel.
I love how your bag tags came out!! And that anyone can do it! I’ll be sharing on my page at some point 🙂
Thanks you Dee! I have definitely had more downloads for the PDF than the Silhouette cut file. And thank you for sharing on your page!
Kelly,
Another great design from you Kelly. I know the kids will enjoy Lego with the bright colors. Identifying their bags in a hurry with the rush of a school day will make the school hustle smoother.
Thank you for sharing your creativity,
Karen Marie
Thank you for stopping by Karen. Your comments are always wonderful and I appreciate them.
