I was looking up ideas for travel-themed baby shower gifts when I came across one for do-it-yourself duct tape luggage tags. Anyone can use a luggage tag - and duct tape ones are sure to withstand the rigors of trains, planes, boats, and automobiles. Hell, I'm sure they could even survive a trip on a space shuttle (one day).
They are super affordable and somewhat easy to make. I say somewhat because by nature duct tape is super sticky, which makes things a little challenging. The materials are simple: duct tape (with cool designs), string/yarn/ribbon, scissors, hole punch.
Here's how to make them:
1) Fold a piece of duct tape in half so it's about 4 to 5 inches long.
2) Put another piece of duct tape (solid color) on top to write contact information
3) Cut the corners diagonally on one end
4) Punch a hole in the center
5) Loop the string/yarn/ribbon through the hole so it's about 4 inches long
That's it! Guests at the shower said they thought they were cute. I hope they weren't lying... The good news is even if they don't use the luggage tags, they were very affordable to make (less than $15 for 20), and I still have plenty of tape left over.
