I used this very nifty little tool at widgetsplus to create a Google+ badge.

- Get your Google+ ID. (the easiest way is to login to Google+ Your ID number is the long string of numbers For example my public profile is http://plus.google.com/109563226758360576597; the ID number is that bit at the end. For more info about Google IDs, visit my post here.
- Copy your ID number.
- Customize your widget using the widget tool. If your name is very long, you will want to use a width greater than 160 or a smaller font size (it will truncate your name otherwise). My name is georgiawebgurl;I used a smaller font size since I wanted this in my sidebar.
- Basic settings: your Google+ ID, width of badge, and whether you want to include any of your latest posts.
- Main area settings: Widget colors.
- Title settings: Change the tag line (the default is Add Me On...)
- Name text: change colors, font type, and size of text relating to your name
- Button: Font size and colors for button (* makes transparent)
- Bottom text: Font size and color for text at bottom (including the latest posts, if you select 'Include update feed')
- Click on Get Code to see preview and get the code for copy + paste.
- Copy code.
- Go to Design.
- Decide where you want to add it on your blog template (mine is left sidebar) and click on Add a Gadget.
- Under Basic Gadgets find HTML/Javascript
- Click on the + button to add it to your design.
- Title (you can leave this blank if you do not want it have any text above your widget)
- Paste in your code from widgetsplus.
- Save your template. Voila!
