After making these Nautical themed beach bags for an event for our office incentive vacation. I decided to make luggage tags after not having success in finding a tag that would work for the beach bag. My son found these online from this site and all you needed to was add the name to the pre-formated nautical style tag.
Materials needed:
- Computer and printer (colored ink)
- cardstock
- scissors
- Thermal laminating pouches
- Thermal laminator
- Hole punch
- Jute twine
Here is the link for the site for the free printable http://prettypeas.com/2013/03/free-printable-set-of-nautical-gift-tags/ Download, add the text, and print the tags. Thank you
Cut the tags out
Place the paper tag in a thermal laminating pouch. It is important that some of the plastic material is showing all around the edges so that it will close and seal solidly.
Place in the laminating machine and let cool
Use a hole punch to make a hole for the laminated tag to be attached.
I used 3 lengths of this jute twine that I had on hand for strength.
Place through the hole
Tie in a knot at the base of the tag
Then tie another knot at the top of the strings
Clip any uneven ends
Finished. To attach. Wrap one side of the twine around the bag handle and place the tag through the center of the twine and pull to tighten as shown below.
Very cute tag! 😉
