Monograms on Luggage Tags

I'm happy to see you today!

Whether luggage or a weekend duffel bag, I'll always attach a luggage tag to it. It's my small guarantee that I'll reunite with it if it ever gets lost. It's happened once and the luggage tag did its job!

I have a good number of luggage tags on standby, mostly plain leather ones like this one. They look a bit "blah" so I'm going to show you simple ways to make them "TADA!"

First up is this leather luggage tag. 

My friend gave me these monogram stickers that I haven't used.

Stick one on, front and center, and instantly we've got a stylish monogram tag...TADA!

Before sticking it to the tag, the back of the sticker can be reinforced with glue for more staying power. 

These luggage tags are made of plastic and are waterproof.

To add a monogram, I make an outline using white pencil (erase mistakes with a paintbrush dipped in water). 

Then I color in the monogram with white acrylic paint and a size 1 paintbrush. 

It will look like this after it dries...TADA!

For the other luggage tag, I'll likewise make an outline of the monogram with a white pencil.

I'll fill in the letter with a matte gold paint pen.

This is what it looks like...TADA!

Add some personality and personalization to your plain luggage tags and transform them from blah to TADA!

Since we've got a travel theme going on, how about crafting your own passport case, shoe bags and sleep mask?
