Put your favorite family photos on these DIY luggage tags made out of leather. These are the perfect gift for someone who loves to travel.

If you travel by plane, then you know the feeling of waiting at the carousel for your suitcase to come down and seeing 5 others that look similar to yours. And so you wait for them to go around … and around … and around, until you are sure that it’s yours.

People are getting more creative with making their suitcase stand out, from brightly colored ribbons, to brightly colored or patterned suitcases.

Why not make your own luggage tags?
