PROJECT: Watercolor Paper Luggage Tags

A couple months ago, I featured an easy way to brighten up a rolling suitcase with rubber stamps and fabric paint. Every week I receive letters and e-mails from crafty people who tried the idea and loved it.

I love those moments. Because there's still time for summer travel, I thought I'd add to the spirit of the personalized suitcase with a luggage tag to match.

This trick involves watercolor paper, acrylic paint and varnish. The varnish gives the painted watercolor paper a laminated texture that wards off moisture and tears.

If you don't want to use your fabulous handmade tags on your luggage, use them on gifts or for organizing in your home, or make several and create a fun book.
