DIY Luggage Tag Made from Fabric (No Sew!)

If you need budget suitcase identification quickly, this DIY luggage tag tutorial is so easy! Use scrap fabric and it’s NO SEW!

Skills Required: None. Even if you’ve never crafted before, you can make this project! It’s one of the most simple crafts ever.

If you are looking to meet someone who has had their fair share of luggage horror stories, I’m your girl. I’m always the one waiting when the carousel stops and all the luggage has been passed out.

I can’t tell you how many times they’ve had to make a special trip to my place to drop it off (just call me Greg Focker). One time I even had the pleasure of having an airline attendant motion to a huge pile of luggage so that I could dig mine out myself.

I know I sound bitter, but I promise I’m not! It’s all part of the magic of traveling and flying. But you can make it a bit easier on yourself by making your own DIY luggage tag, thereby making your bag a bit more identifiable (especially if it’s black).

Check out this tutorial from Dom of Crafted – you’ll be heading to the airport with a fun, fabric tag that everyone will compliment you on. And won’t that be a fun way to start your trip? Here’s the tutorial from Dom.

I’m heading overseas today (yay!) and because of this I needed a new tag to put on my bag. Why not make a pretty fabric one with Mod Podge?

You could also use this same process to make gift tags! Make sure you pin this one! You’ll thank yourself come Christmas time.

No Sew Luggage Tag

You will need:

• Fabric Mod Podge
• Cardboard or thick cardstock
• Fabric
• Strong twine
• Computer and printer
• Scissors

Step 1

Print your details onto a piece of card. If you’re printer doesn’t like thick cardstock, you can handwrite your information. Draw a tag shape around your details.

Step 2

Apply some Fabric Mod Podge to your card and stick this to your fabric. Leave this to dry.

Step 3

Once your piece is dry, cut around the tag line and punch a hole in the top.

Step 4

Attach a piece of string to your tag, tie it to your bag, and you’re good to go!

Now I’ll be able to find my luggage during my travels. Yeah!
