Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Shelly Cordsen with expertvillage.com and we are making are making luggage tags today. Two of the items you do need just for the luggage tags is craft pellon , craft pellon is you could get it in different weights. For this project this project we need a thick heavy weight and make sure that it says pellon craft bounding. Interfacing will now work you need have this pellon and you could find it at any fabric store. Another item that you are going to need is some plastic you will find this at your fabric store or your local Wal-Mart and they would be on big old rolls because a lot of people buy it as tablecloths covers just to lay on there tables. You don't need very much but one of my recognition is when you get home with it is that you spread it out and put it somewhere where it is protected. I attend to get my folded and then I get a lot of wrinkles in it and I can't use it and I waste alot so take it from me lay it flat somewhere at home if even slide it under your bed. What you are going to need is some of that plastic 3x5, the pellon you are going to need a strip and we would cut this interfacing pellon 3x11 1/2. You would fabric of your choose. This one I'm choosing little frogs I have a daughter that she is going to be traveling and she is into frogs. We need one strip 3 1/2x12. We are going to cut our strips to 3 1/2x12 strips and you could use the lines on your cutting board I tend to use my ruler alot. I have a straight edge here and I will find 3 1/2 on my ruler, lay that edge right down on my fabric and then with my rotary cutter cut one strip. And I have my strip, now I need it to be 12 inches long and so I happen to have a ruler that is 12 inches and I'm going to put that right on there. Cut that. The other thing we are going to need is a strip for a handle and the handle is going to be 2x14 which is exactly I have my 12 one and I'm goign to use my board on this one to 14. Line up my lines right here and cut that and that would be for my handle and that is all we need for our luggage tag."
