Design Your Own Backpack

It is school time again… the time to look for a spanking new backpack to carry all your school essentials. However, one look at the rows of displayed bags and you find yourself looking away in disgust at the myriads of plain-looking, gargantuan, turtle-looking backpacks that come in similar designs, sizes and styles. Why would you want to have the same backpack as everyone else, right? Well, worry no more, for you can now strut in style and rock off your schools hallways with your own unique and original personalized backpack! Having one is easy; all you have to do is to design your own backpack.

Designing your own bag has many quirks. Not only do you get to design it the way you want it to be, you can also add up more spaces to it to add functionality. In addition, having a custom made backpack makes it easier for you to stand out amongst a throng of students and is a good way to show off your interests. Also, the designs you put in will add more color and life to an otherwise plain and drab backpack. Moreover, by putting your personal touch, you are also putting a special mark on it that signifies it as your possession. Lastly, when you design your own backpack, you get your creative juices flowing to unleash the Picasso in you!

There are several ways you can do to customize your own cheap backpacks; all you have to do is to be resourceful and practical. Buying a new bag is not necessary, you can just scour some thrift stores and bazaars for a quality and durable bag, which has little or no design at all and has several customizing possibilities. This bag will serve as your canvas and base for the refurbishing that you are going to do.

Once you have a bag, here are some steps to help you design your own personallized backpack. First, have a desired theme in mind. Classic, vintage, hippie, floral, psychedelic… the possibilities are endless. With a theme in mind, it is now easier to decide on what materials to use to achieve the desired effect. Next, purchase fun and sassy appliqués, materials, tools, and other accessories which you can use in designing. Other materials you can use are buttons, patches, needles and threads, rhinestones, colored pencils, fabric paints, colored markers, and more. The materials you will be using will still depend on your preferences and the theme you have in mind. Lastly, get down to business! Go and design your own backpack and unleash your originality and creativity.
