Spark your children's creative interest by working on an art project where they make their own custom luggage tags. Begin by using either a coloring book of each child's favorite character or print off free coloring pages online. Instruct your kids to color the character on the picture. Make sure the main character they are coloring is no larger than the size of your hand. When they are done coloring, cut out the picture and trace it onto cardboard. Cut out the cardboard form and glue the pieces together. Use clear packaging tape to wrap the tag. Use a hole punch to create a small hole where you can loop yarn through. Tie the luggage tag to your child's bag.
When flying in wedding party members or guests for your nuptials, send them fun luggage tags that resemble traditional tiered wedding cakes. You can make these luggage tags by purchasing craft foam pieces in the colors you desire. Get a stencil of a wedding cake and cut out the forms. Use foam paint to write each guest's name on the tag. Mail the tags along with additional travel information to your guests. When traveling to your event, your wedding party and guests will be able to identify their bags and increase the excitement about the big day.
Personalize your luggage by creating monogrammed felt tags. Start with a stencil of the first letter of either your first or last name. Trace the letter on two pieces of felt. Cut out the letters and use brightly colored thread to sew the letters together. Leave a small opening and fill the letter with batting. Finish sewing the letter closed. Tie a decorative ribbon around the letter and affix it to your luggage.
Recycle costume jewelry and turn it into a bedazzled luggage tag. Use a large piece, the size of a half dollar or larger, of costume jewelry such as a brooch or ring with a substantial fake gem. For extra glitter, use gold or silver ribbon to tie the jewelry piece to the front of your luggage.
