So, I decided that, since I am newly enamored of Duck brand Duct tape, I would make some cool luggage tags for me and my guys. I used duct tape and more clear box tops to make some nifty tags following these steps:
1. Make some sheets of tape in the colors you want.
2. Cut out two pieces of sheet approximately 3.5 " x 4".
I didn't measure precisely.
3. Put one piece aside. This is the top cover of your tag.
I put a card on top of the bottom sheet to measure and see how it fit.
4. Cut a piece of plastic a little bigger than a business card.
5. Tape the bottom edge with a tiny strip of matching/coordinating tape.
6. Tape the sides of the plastic to the sides of the bottom sheet of duct tape using a matching/coordinating strip of tape. (If you cut a strip into thirds the long way, that will usually suffice.)
7. Slip in the address of your destination. I used a personal "calling card," as it has my address and phone number on it. I turned it over and wrote the address of Raja's parents on the other side. I'll use that side traveling to India, and the other side (with my address) when returning from India...so the airlines know where to send my luggage should they "misplace" it.
8. Place the cover over the top of the address. you can tape it together, if you wish. I drew a couple of dots, because I am going to use brads (metal fasteners) to connect the two sheets together.
9. Decorate the cover. You can use more tape, Sharpies, or whatever.
Five down, a bunch more to go... but no more tonight: I'm exhausted!
Challenge: Make some luggage tags for your own, which reflect your personality or your destination!
Until we meet again, be good!
