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?

These handmade leather luggage tags are easy to make, and the best part is you can make them using your favorite travel or family photos, or even your kids artwork.

How to make leather luggage tags
Choose the photos (or artwork) you want to transfer onto the fabric. Resize it to approximately 400-267. Remember to reverse the image before printing, and then print your images onto the HP Iron-on Transfer paper.
Cut the images out, leaving a border, place them face down on the duck cloth and following the instructions on the HP Iron-on Transfer paper, transfer the images onto the fabric.
Cut out the images, and then cut out pieces of leather and clear vinyl of the same size. Use fabric glue to adhere the photo transfer to the leather, and then the clear vinyl over the top (to protect the image).
Using a fabric knife cut a small section of the top of each luggage tag
Cut sections of elastic cord or leather tying them onto the luggage tag, and then onto your luggage.
