Short and Sweet - Vintage Inspired Luggage Tags...

I'm always looking around Hobby Lobby and Michael's for craft ideas...trying to broaden my horizons and my skills. A couple of weeks ago, I came across packages of cut wood and thought I could create a cute craft project.  Well, here they are...Vintage Inspired Luggage Tags.


They were super easy to make.  I used some deeply discounted peel-n-stick stencils that I found, picked up some additional craft paints and went to work.


I aged them by using dark wax and a sanding block to rough them up a bit.  The hubster was nice enough to let me use the cordless drill, unsupervised, to drill the holes for my string.


Not a bad gift for someone who travels or for someone who wants to add some cuteness to their tote bag!

Please hop on over to visit my friends to see what they have going on for the "Short and Sweet" segment this month!



Enjoy!

  8. I like those! And the hats and bags, etc. are so pretty displayed there. Are those glass door knobs? Very pretty, I could see them in a bathroom too.
