Embroidery bag tags are small, quick-to-finish projects that are perfect for beginners. Whether attached to a bag, a set of keys, or given as a personalized gift, they are always a popular choice. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the entire process step by step to create a fun and satisfying glitter shaker bag tag. 

Before getting started, please prepare the following materials and tools.

• Import the bag tag design into the embroidery machine

• Check the design size and orientation on the machine screen to make sure everything is correct

• This line is used to mark the position where the glitter vinyl will be placed

• Place the glitter vinyl over the placement line, with the shiny side facing up
• Smooth the material flat, then stitch the tack-down line to secure it in place

• At this step, you can add your name or a word with special meaning to personalize your bag tag

During the embroidery process, keep the following in mind:

• Watch closely to ensure the stitches run smoothly
• Pause and make adjustments if any issues occur

• After the embroidery is complete, remove the hoop from the machine

• Carefully trim away the excess fabric following the embroidered outline

• Add colorful sequins inside the bag tag

• Be careful not to overfill; leave some space so the sequins can move and create the “shaker” effect

• Gather the sequins toward the center

• Place the TPU film on top of the sequins

• Reduce embroidery speed

• Use a tool to hold the sequins in place to prevent them from scattering during stitching

• Stitch the final tack-down line to complete the overall structure of the bag tag

• Remove the excess film

• Tear away the excess stabilizer and remove the finished bag tag from the hoop

• Carefully seal the edges with a lighter to prevent fraying

• Punch a hole in the designated spot and attach the keyring

• Make sure the connection is secure and won’t come loose
• Your glitter shaker bag tag is now complete ✨
