DIY: Luggage Tags

As I began to prepare for my vacation I wrote a to-do list which has been growing by the day. One item that was on the list was luggage tags and I thought of adding a personal touch and creating my own. It’s so simple! I began by creating my own template in Word and printing it on orange card stock. Follow these simple instructions to make your own luggage tags:

Step 2: Place tags at least 1 inch apart in laminating sheet leaving enough space for cutting. Once the lamination machine is hot, run the laminating sheet through and let the tags cool for 3 minutes before cutting.

Step 4: Weave long ribbon through hole punched tag and tie in bow through the handle.
