- Fill the bag with one of each item on the list below
- Copy and paste the list of things below and what they mean into a program like Microsoft Publisher so you can choose a nice font and an appropriate size to fit it all on a business card in portrait mode.(Go here for a detailed tutorial on making the card in Microsoft Publisher) Leave a space at the top of the card for a hole
-Print out the business card., Punch a small hole in the top of it
