A cross stitch luggage tag is our signature project — and for good reason. It's a beginner-friendly stitch that finishes into something you'll actually use, makes your bag impossible to miss at baggage claim, and turns a long flight into productive time. Here's how to make one from start to finish.
What is a cross stitch luggage tag?
It's a small stitched design that slides into a clear luggage-tag holder, becoming a functional, one-of-a-kind tag for your suitcase or carry-on. Our cross stitch luggage tag kits use stamped fabric — the design is printed right on the cloth — so there's no chart to count. You just match the floss colors and stitch.
Why make your own luggage tag?
- Spot your bag instantly — no more squinting at a sea of identical black rollers.
- It's a portable project — small enough to stitch on the plane it'll soon be traveling on.
- It makes a great gift — handmade, useful, and personal for any traveler or flight attendant.
- Beginner-proof — stamped and quick, so you finish and feel accomplished.
What's in a cross stitch luggage tag kit?
Each luggage tag kit includes coordinated embroidery floss, 14CT stamped AIDA fabric, a needle, the luggage tag hardware, and step-by-step instructions — everything you need in one pouch.
How to make a cross stitch luggage tag, step by step
- Stitch the stamped design. Match your floss to the printed colors and fill the design with simple X stitches. First time? Follow our beginner video guide.
- Secure your threads. Weave the tails under a few stitches on the back and snip them close — no bulky knots.
- Press it flat. A quick press face-down on a towel makes the stitches look their best.
- Slide it into the tag. Place your finished piece into the clear tag holder and snap it closed.
- Attach the loop through your bag handle — done! For photos and finishing tips, see our full finishing guide.
