Spring break is coming up soon, and my family really hoped to take a vacation to escape the unusually cold winter weather!  Unfortunately for us that won’t be happening, but it did get me dreaming of jetting off to some place fabulous (or even somewhere lame – basically just going anywhere!).  With wanderlust in my heart, I created some cute DIY Glitter Luggage Tags for my future travels.  These are such a simple project that will add a fun touch to any suitcase, travel bag, or purse! Add a dash of fun to your vacation with these cute DIY Glitter Luggage Tags! Make your own sparkly luggage tags without the mess, and travel in style.

How to Make DIY Glitter Luggage Tags

I love a dash of glitter on a project, but sometimes the mess is not worth it.  Because of that, I was excited to see a new line of mega-glittered craft paints from DecoArt that give you the intense glitter look without the mess of actually working with glitter.  I decided to test them out on this project!

First, I painted designs with Americana Acrylics paint onto my unfinished wood tags.  Add a dash of fun to your vacation with these cute DIY Glitter Luggage Tags! Make your own sparkly luggage tags without the mess, and travel in style.

Once the paint dried, I added a topcoat of Galaxy Glitter paint in a shade that coordinated with the base coat color.  This made the glitter in the paint stand out even more!  Add a dash of fun to your vacation with these cute DIY Glitter Luggage Tags!

After the paint dried, I used my ancient (by today’s standards) Silhouette electronic cutting machine to cut out some cute travel-related phrases and the initial of my first name.  Add a dash of fun to your vacation with these cute DIY Glitter Luggage Tags! Make your own sparkly luggage tags without the mess, and travel in style.

If you don’t have a fancy-schmancy cutting machine – no worries!  You can get the same look with letter stickers or travel-related scrapbook stickers from the craft store.  Once your words are ready, stick them onto the front of the luggage tag.  Add a dash of fun to your vacation with these cute DIY Glitter Luggage Tags!

Finally, add a book ring through the hole in the top of the tag so that you can attach the tag to your luggage!  Or, if you don’t want to use a book ring, a key ring or key chain will do the trick.  Add a dash of fun to your vacation with these cute DIY Glitter Luggage Tags!

Won’t these make an adorable addition to my luggage?  Add a dash of fun to your vacation with these cute DIY Glitter Luggage Tags! Make your own sparkly luggage tags without the mess, and travel in style.

    Modernizing a Mirrored Wall: Tape to the Rescue!

    One of the biggest challenges in my Office and Guest Room Combo Makeover was modernizing a mirrored wall that screamed “hello, it’s 1980.”  OK, obviously it didn’t really scream that, but it might as well have! Of course I thought about removing the mirrored wall altogether.  But when I researched how to do that, I […]

    DIY Dollar Tree Easter Carrot Decor

    I’ve made a lot of Easter crafts over the years, and they’ve all tended to focus on bunnies and eggs.  Now I’m in an Easter carrot decor phase.  (It’s a real thing.)  Last year’s Easter craft post was this Carrot Door Hanger, and this year it’s all about the carrots, too. You’d think that I […]

    Side Table Makeover in Country Chic Paint Forever Green

    In 2009 my husband and I moved from a small condo to a much larger home.  We had a lot more space to fill and hardly any furniture.  Recognizing that we looked like squatters in our new home, my mom gave us an old side table that used to be my grandma’s.  It wasn’t exactly the […]

    Office and Guest Room Combo: How to Create a Double-Duty Space

    Our ‘new’ home has one more bedroom than at our last house, and because of that, we had no furniture for it.  It’s pretty tiny, but with some creative planning I turned it into an office and guest room combo space that easily pulls double-duty, making it a totally functional WIN for my family!   With […]
