Ready to pack your bags and leave home? Make this quick and easy luggage handle wrap to easily find your suitcase in the sea of suitcases at baggage claim. If you aren’t flying but happen to travel with people with similar looking bags, you need a handle wrap too!
These are the perfect little something for a trip, stocking stuffers, gifts for co-workers who travel and more. You can cut down on that fabric scrap and batting pile too! Want to earn some extra cash so YOU can go on vacation? Make and sell cute luggage handle wraps.
Purple is my FAVORITE so I didn’t hesitate to grab the Lilac August Fruit Toss fabric from my Monthly Placemat Panel Program for this project. My sister has since requested a wrap using the Denim June Berry Toss and my niece wants the Red February Flower Toss – I’ll be using up scraps of everything!
Here’s a video that shows you just how quickly they sew up as long as you have scraps of fabric, batting or fusible fleece and some hook & loop tape (or Velcro®).
