Leather Luggage Tag

My mom always has homemade leather luggage tags and they always disappear. She mentioned this to me the other day, so I thought I would make her a luggage tag for Christmas that would hopefully last longer. I added a buckle to the strap, so it would hopefully not fall of and I personalized it by adding her initials so that it would hopefully not get stolen.
