Luggage Tags
For some time now I’ve had the idea of getting my art work onto my luggage tags. So, when I saw a luggage tag project in the 2008 Quilting Arts Gift Magazine, I decided to give it a try.
Aren’t they pretty? I made three, and the photo above shows both front and back. (Click images for larger views.)
I altered the back a little, in order to add a quilt photo. (How self-promotinal of me! No apologies, though!) The quilt photo is printed on fabric, and I covered it with vinyl, to protect it. Even though this fabric from Color Plus prints really nicely, I think I’ll print onto photo paper for the next round. After all, if I want to show off my work, I might as well play it up, right?

Those are really neat, Ellen! You should hang them on your laptop bag and carry-on, but they’re so nice, I cringe to think what the airlines would do to them if you check them…….of course, they’d make your luggage easy to spot on the conveyer!
Thanks, Martha. I think I’m going to be brave and actually put these on my luggage, (which is why I covered the image with vinyl.) After I see how well they hold up, I can revise the design, if needed, and make round two. (Cuz, I NEED some decent luggage tags!)
These are great, Ellen! Thanks so much for sharing this and letting me know. I’m going to end this to Helen Gregory who wrote that article.
