DIY Luggage Tags

For our recent trip to AR, I thought ahead so I didn't have to stand in line, with an antsy 4-yr old awaiting her first plane ride, filling out 4 or 5 flimsy airport luggage tags... so I made my own in hardly no time at all! 


I found a simple blank 'tag' template in Google images, saved it & uploaded to PicMonkey (in "Overlays" - click on "Your Own" button), where I was working on a blank white image. From there I duplicated the image & flipped it (for the back side of my tag).



Then I filled in the left side with my contact info and the right side with a cute logo "M" for my last name....repeat 2 more times for a total of 3:
Finally I printed each out (one for me & one for Kapri) on cardstock, then went to Staples to cut them out, fold them & get them laminated...cost me less than $2!

When I got home, I used a hole punch to go through the circle, then used some elastic cord to loop them onto my luggage handles, carry-on bags & K's carseat. I love how they turned out...super easy, custom, unique, inexpensive & durable! SHOOT - just realized I don't have a pic of one attached to the luggage... I'll have to do that soon! haha

  1. Oh my gosh these luggage tags are so cute. I travel a lot for business so love having pretty travel accessories. I especially like the logo with the letter of your last name. Such a good idea. Pinned and thanks for the idea!

  2. Love your tags, and your tutorial is great! The fact that they are laminated makes them even more durable. Thanks,
