Yes! I decorated my luggage with a silver sharpie and made swirls all over them. It was easy to find at baggage claim!
I drew on all four sides!
I also made a crocheted flower from fabric strips for the luggage tag.
I learned how to crochet with plastic strips, last year at the Haak-In while visiting in Amsterdam. Although this tag is made from fabric. I made one from plastic too.
I visited Corrie this year while I was in Amsterdam! Corrie's upcycling and crocheting inspires my quilting and I will be sharing more about that very soon.
I packed four quilts into my suitcase and carry on bag! I used the space bags to squeeze them in. Three of them were lap size and one was full size. --- The I Spy Quilt! The Tree Quilt is a large lap quilt. The Sprouts Quilt is also a lap quilt. The fourth quilt was a quilt I made from fabric for a soft book. I plan to share about that quilt soon... That one was baby size.
My suitcase was full!
And of course, I took my Skype Book! My grandson loved it. We read it every night. I brought it home with me, so I can use it when we skype.
We had a wonderful time with my daughter and her family.
How do you tag or mark your luggage?
Enjoy!

What a clever idea! I would never have thought to use a Sharpie on my luggage. Of course, mine would look more like graffiti than art, but it sure would be easier to find on the luggage return!
I do not travel much but when I do I usually have a piece of scrap fabric that I tie to my luggage handle so I know it is mines, But I like your idea, every could you a little lift to there luggage, great idea.
Oh, the appliques are cute - I need to make a TON of felt things for story hour at the library. And I just realized this week that Finn needs an I-spy quilt. I guess I better get started :P
Cute idea, but, I can't draw. I use bright, matching ribbons on my luggage (lime green with hot pink edges). I tie the ribbon on every handle.
I will be doing the Sharpie thing on my luggage before I travel, thank you for the great idea. I usually just put a bright piece of fabric on the handle but still have to search for it. Glad you had a great visit. L
I made about 50 super colorful luggage tags that really stand out, but I'm going to have to add a Sharpie quilting to my luggage now!!!
