If you go to all the trouble to make a handmade Christmas gift it's really nice to finish it with a handmade card . Little finishing touches make things extra special. These cute luggage tags are extra quick to make and perfect to have on hand for when time is really short . The kids can also help make them for adding to their teachers gifts .
Manilla luggage tags are available in a range of sizes from newsagents or you can always cut your own tags from coloured cardboard .
Prepare fabric in Christmasy shapes and fabric as you would do for applique.Use" heat and bond" or similar to stick shapes to tags .
Add the "stitching" around the edges of the tag and the shape with a fine marking pen .
Write your greeting on the back .
Thread a pretty ribbon through the provided hole .
These are so quick to make it's worthwhile making a few , just in case !
