Hi,

So Father’s day is right round the corner and what would you like to gift your dad?

Here’s something simple for you to try out – A recycled DIY luggage tag for your dad.

It’s just a round-a-about way of telling your dad to take a break 🙂 with you of course!

What you will need:

 

Guessed what are they? Yes, all the labels on your clothes or shoes or bags.

Thrown them away? Well, Mommies, it is time to go shopping 🙂

Acrylic or fabric Paints

Glue

Stickers

Decorative paper

Satin ribbons, jute string or any available thread.

Here, we are ready 🙂

Steps:

There are no fixed steps.

You can paint the entire tag with acrylic or fabric paints. OR cover the tag’s written matter with different papers.

Try to use the already available color combinations or images on the labels to suit your tag.

Add one or more stickers.

If required, Paint over it to add some glitter or some effects.

Remember to cover the reverse of your tags with single color or white paper. That’s where your dad will put in his details.

My daughter painted the tags and then refused to share it with me!  They are still lying hidden in one of her many bags 😉

What details does a luggage tag require?

Owner’s name, address and contact number.

How does it help to have a luggage tag?

A luggage tag is attached to your travelling luggage.

It helps your bag stand out especially, among similar looking bags on a flight’s luggage belt.

If your luggage gets lost, the airline or train or bus staff can contact you immediately.

So here are some of them we made. Can you recognize the labels?  😉

We sure hope to share some of these tags we made with our dads on father’s day.

And before we go, here are some of our favorite quotes on DADS.

We hope you liked our simple use of the labels.

Have a great weekend,

Poornima
