Cut out the base of the phone cover with the use of a penknife. Repeated cuts can be made on the edges until the blade cuts through the layer and the sides can be fully removed. 2. Cut out 6 thin strips (approximately 2cm shorter than the length of the phone cover) and 3 thin strips (approximately the width of the phone cover) from the transparency. The strips should be around 0.5cm wide. 3. Paste 35 strips at each length of the phone cover and 35 strips at the bottom of the cover. 4.

Step-­‐by-­‐step  Guide:  Phone  cover  luggage  tags  

Materials  needed:  Phone  cover,  penknife,  transparency,  glue,  ribbon/fabric,  fine  wire  (bendable),  decorative  items  

 1. Cut  out  the  base  of  the  phone  cover  with  the  use  of  a  

penknife.   Repeated   cuts   can   be  made   on   the   edges  until   the  blade  cuts   through  the   layer  and  the  sides  can  be  fully  removed.          

2. Cut   out   6   thin   strips   (approximately   2cm   shorter   than   the  length  of   the  phone  cover)  and  3   thin  strips   (approximately  the   width   of   the   phone   cover)   from   the   transparency.   The  strips  should  be  around  0.5cm  wide.                                                      

3. Paste  3-­‐5  strips  at  each  length  of  the  phone  cover  and    3-­‐5  strips  at  the  bottom  of  the  cover.                                                          

4. Cut  out  a  piece  of  transparency  large  enough  to  cover  the  area  bounded  by  the  strips  and  paste  it  on.                                                

5. Line   the   sides   of   the   cover   with  decorative  ribbon.

Making  the  luggage  tag  strap:    

1. Choose  a  piece  of  ribbon  to  be  used  for  the  strap.    

                                     

 

 

             

2. A  metal  ring  can  be  made  by  coiling  the  wire  a  few  times  around  a  suitably  sized  pen.  Leave  a  small  length  of  the  string  uncoiled  and  make  a  bridge  across  the  ring.  Secure  the  wire  by  twisting  it  along  the  diameters  of  the  ring.                          

   

3. Insert  the  ribbon/fabric  through  the  metal  ring  as  shown  below.  

             

     

 

4. Cut  out  a  slip  of  paper  slightly  smaller  than  the  size  of  the  transparency  and  insert  it  in.  This  is  what  your  final  product  would  look  like!                                You  can  then  further  decorate  the  luggage  tags  with  various  items  such  as  ribbons,  buttons  and  decorative  paper  or  tape  on  the  upper  side  of  the  phone  cover  (i.e.  the  side  that  was  facing  outwards  before  cutting.)
