"Hi, I am Candi Cane-Canncel with Expert Village. So in this clip we are going to be actually making a pattern for our luggage tag. So I am taking my existing luggage tag, I am going to trace around it. Just go ahead and trace around the luggage tag. Okay, you have like a basic template. So, we are going to use this shape and we are actually going to make it bigger. I am going to add an inch to the part where my ribbon is going to go. Just going to make a little mark. Then I am going to go ahead and mark around 1/2 more all the way around. And this doesn't have to be exact. You just want to make sure that it is pretty square. Okay, then I am just going to go ahead and miter off these corners. Just to give it a little fun detail. Okay, then once you have that done, you go ahead and cut out your luggage pattern. So once you have cut out your pattern, the next step is to cut out your fabric."
