Travel time again! How To make Doll Luggage

Well, it is spring break and we are ready for some fun! My good friend Tsuki-Mei is leaving to Panama city on Sunday. She is going to be posting about her adventures here! She invited me over to help her pack, she said she wasn't entirely sure on what to bring and needed second opinions to make sure she didn't over pack. I was happy to help.
Today we are going to show you how we made luggage for Tsuki-mei.
First we started off with the bag that held two standard size pillowcases.
Next use plain card stock (we just flipped the two labels the other way) 

And add contact information on one of them, such as Phone #, address, name ect. to be the luggage tag. (we chose the back to use)
then decorate the cover with whatever you like! we chose stickers and crayons to be the decorating mediums.
This is what we ended up with, Tsuki-mei was able to fit a pair of sandals, a pair of hiking boots, 4 shirts, 1 pair of pants , 2 pairs of shorts, a travel journal and about 5 swimsuits inside. The best part of the bag is that it is waterproof. If your pillowcase bag doesn't have the little pockets inside to put the tags in, you can just use clear duct tape to tape them on.
Next we packed her carry-on bag. We decided on a pair of Pjs, a swimsuit and her cosmetics bag.
Everyone is super excited for her trip and are looking forward to seeing what adventures she has! She will arrive in Panama City on monday and after a few days will travel to red frog resort. A small island with an exotic garden, beaches and a zip line course!
