A method of associating a tamper evident tag with an article is provided. The method includes the steps of providing the tamper evident tag with first and second layers laminated to each other and inserting a fastener through the article at a user selected location thereof. A terminal end of the fastener is positioned on a second layer of the tamper evident tag and a first portion of the second layer is removed to expose an adhesive on a first portion of the first layer. The first portion of the first layer of the tamper evident tag is folded over a second portion of the first layer so as to capture a second portion of the inner layer between the first and second portions of the first layer and to capture the terminal end of the fastener between the first portion of the first layer and the second portion of the second layer of the tamper evident tag thereby retaining the article on the fastener.
