Hello!
Knowing that I might not have the time to
create some craft, I’ve decided to just share with you with the next best
thing. The ideas and design of the craft. I have tons of craft ideas in my mind
of what I wanted to do, but time constraint and other commitments prevent me
from doing so. Therefore I’ll just share my craft ideas, although it will be
more of a concept, since I’ve yet to build it I wouldn’t know whether the
design is doable, practical or even make any sense. In the mean time I’ll try
to build the craft when I have the spare time.
Moving on, today's craft idea is very simple and
i thought about it because of two things – Travel and Recycle. For the past few
months I was travelling a lot due to work and I realized that I need a tag to
mark my bag. Apparently I have some old leather belts that were no longer use.
So I was thinking to turn the belt into a luggage tag. It shall be sort of
similar with below tags:

The second leather tag looks very neat with
the wording etched onto the leather. Since I have never tried nor do
I equipped with leather carving tool, I was thinking to go with the simpler
way. I will just draw a design on the leather and cut the outline out. I wanted
to hand sketch the design but I’ll spare you with the dreadful sight of my
drawing skill. Instead, I draw the design in AutoCAD for the 2D and then import
it to Sketchup to build the 3D image. Mind you that my skill in Sketchup is average (more to noob actually) since I
just learn it recently by myself. Sketchup is a great tool to create 3D sketch
for your design, and it is easy to learn. If you have no clue what Sketchup is,
checkout this link for this awesome tool.
And here is my intended luggage tag design:
I chose the image of ‘plane’ and ‘luggage’ to
fit the theme, obviously, which is, – a tag
for your travel luggage. The intended hole is for the string to be attached to
the luggage’s handle.
And here is how it is supposed to look with
the leather material:
It is fairly a simple design and I hope I can
get to work on it very soon. Till then, see you all next time.
