Amma I love them! I like the fabric that you chose for the border! It goes so well with the colors of the Bostons.

They make me think of the keychains I make. Great Job!

These are so cute and such a great idea!!! I remember standing at the luggage carousel and waiting for the luggage.. of course, the minute you turn your head, your luggage comes out and is past you and you have to wait for it to go around again...

Thank you everyone for the compliments :D :oops: :D
My luggage is black like 90% of everyone else's :roll: :roll: :roll: After getting off a long flight to my son's, all I want to do is grab my bag and get the heck out of there!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
The baggage handler's do have issues with some types of things hanging off the bags...when I asked about these tags they said no problem, the size was fine and the fact that they are soft was fine with them. I do use a layer of batting to give them a little body. I hang one on each end of the handle, to make seeing them easier from a distance...then I tap a nice younger gentleman on the shoulder, and ask "could you please wrangle that bag off the carousel for me??" I push it right up to the 40lb limit :shock: :roll:

These are for Identifying your luggage as they go around the carousel, not for putting a label with your address. I started making these because all black suitcases look the same! Mine are going to be much brighter colored fabrics.
and how about one of these?

Amma, love your tags - great idea. I have royal blue duck take wrapped around my handles. Will have to make some tags - good way to use up scaps.
