Leather luggage tags seem like an indulgent luxury, but they’re incredibly easy to make yourself. If you’ve got a ripped up old leather jacket or bag, follow these instructions and smarten up your suitcases.
You will need:
Scissors
Upcycled leather (for the tag and the strap)
Permanent markers (and a steady hand)
Pencil
Ruler
1. I recommend using upholstery weight leather. For small projects like this, you can use an old leather jacket.
2 With your pencil draw out a tag the shape and size of your choice and cut out with scissors.
3. Try using a permanent marker to write a phrase or your initials on the front of the tag. On the reverse side write whatever contact details you wish to add.
4. Cut out a thin strip of leather twice the height of the tag and tie a knot at the end.
5. Cut a slit near the top of the tag and pull the loop through. Attach to your luggage.
