'''a)''' Laser cutter: Select a piece of thin plywood from the bin labelled "Digital 1," and design and make a backpack tag for that size piece of wood like the one in the picture. Use a vector graphics software package (Illustrator, Corel Draw, Inkscape) to lay out the tag and then use the laser cutter to fabricate it from a small piece of scrap plywood. The slot for the plastic loop should have inside dimensions of 5mm x 15mm. When your tag is complete, ask the Ninja for a plastic loop.
