"Shelly Cordsen here with expertvillage.com. We are now ending our segment on making luggage tags and cell phone holders. You can coordinate all that as you travel. So here we are with our cell phone. I'm going to show you how to attach both of these. We're going to do it on a purse right here. Now, on your cell phone...I attach mine a lot of my purse. You can also do it your belt loop on your pants. Just bring it around, stick this thru and there you go you're attached. You do the same with your luggage tag. If she wanted to tag on hers also, just sit there and she's all frogyed up ready to go. Picking out the fabrics is the most fun on this. This is my cell phone holder, and I took a counted cross stitch pattern and incorporated it on the front. Actually what it was was a card I had bought at a craft fair just like this. I just ripped it off and sewed it into here, which is so appropriate. You can do embroidered items, fussy cut things. I thought this would be very appropriate if we fussy cut. Fussy cut means you take a certain portion of the fabric. In this case, the portion would be the front right here. You would arrange it to where this girl would be right here. You would just specifically fussy cut your strip. Another one I meant to dick and jane. I think this would be fun to fussy cut a particular design to put on the front of your holder. To be fast and easy, look at all the fun fabrics you can do. Wouldn't this be a great luggage tag for all your kids. Don't forget to mark diaper bags. I put a luggage tag on my computer that I carry on board with me. Anything I travel with, I try to put a matching luggage tag and know where it's at. I have had lost luggage before, and it's not fun.
