How To Decorate Fabric Luggage

How to Make Luggage Tags

And so I thought to revamp the tutorial to include sturdier hangers. Changing the tutorial also eliminated the need for grommets. I used the same blueprint but but changed it up a little. You will never lose your luggage in the carousel with these colorful luggage tags. They are elementary to make and only require basic sewing skills.
