Once I got started on these I couldn't stop...this luggage tag is for my son. He supports me fully in my love of quilting, but is not the traditional kind of guy, so I had to go with a fabric for the border that was more of a contemporary look :wink: :lol:

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.

GREAT JOB!!!!
Why didn't I think of that?
I just have some bright scraps that I sewed together and tied to the handle of my suitcase.

That's what I did with curly ribbons...my kids told me that was too "ghetto" so I started making tags, LMBO

I used to use a scrubby BEFORE scrubbys became popular. You wouldn't believe all of them you see on luggage, but now the luggage handlers say those are a pain in the butt.
I used the bright fabric and can spot it right away.

It's really cute. I like it, and I'm sure your son will too.

Cute!! What a great idea!!

Get a patent! :) Great idea!

Great idea! I think I'll do the same with some of my scraps. Thanks for sharing!

Great idea! It's been quite a while since I've been to the airport. But I remember one time I grabbed a bag that was the same bag as mine, but none of the other bags from my family had come out yet so we still had to wait. When the rest of the bags came out, mine did too... turned out I had taken someone elses bag... oops. I felt terrible after that, because I probably made someone else wait longer for their bags. That was years ago though.

How cute!

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:

and how about one of these?

Amma what a great idea! And beautifully executed!

Those would do the trick, too!!! Love the bright colors and how you personalized them, too!!!! Purty!!! :D :D :D

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.

Great job! Wonderful idea!

love it, gives me ideas

great idea and so useful too.

Very nice. I'm sure he will love it.

amma!!! They're AWESOME!!! You can use those to make some really beautiful package tags too, like for Christmas and birthdays. A re-usable gift tag...whatchya think?

How about Christmas ornaments?
