I am super excited to share this project! My daughter absolutely loves her new suitcase that she got as a Christmas gift from her grandparents. She loved every minute of pulling her suitcase behind her at the airport as we traveled back home. I thought it would be fun to personalize it, but I didn’t want to put her full name. Doing a cute monogram would be the best option!
What you’ll need:
- Hard shell luggage
- Custom vinyl decal
First you want to decide where you want to put the decal. Once you know that, you’ll want to peel back the transfer tape (white with red lines) making sure the decal is sticking to it.
TIP: You can fold the decal in half to find the center. Remember to keep the sticky part on the outside, or you’ll be stuck!
Finding the center of the decal will make it easier to place on the luggage, you can eyeball where the center is of the luggage or use a ruler to measure to be exact. Place the transfer tape and decal on the luggage and use a hard piece of plastic like a credit card to push the decal on the luggage. You can peel off the transfer tape making sure the decal is still sticking to the luggage.
I did the same thing for the second decal. If you have bubbles under the decal, you can use the piece of plastic to push all the bubbles out. TIP: Start with the bubbles in the center and work your way out.
And it is all done! I’m so excited for my daughter to use her new monogrammed suitcase on our next trip!
