Various options for decorating a bag can come to the rescue, with which you can update the format of the bag and not part with your favorite accessory.
How to decorate a backpack with your own hands?
There are many ways to decorate a bag with your own hands.
In craft and arts and crafts stores you can find all the materials needed for this. The following options are proposed as a fundamental change:
- complete painting of the backpack;
- decoration with drawings made with special paint;
- the use of thermal stickers;
- decoration with fringe;
- various applications and stripes;
- use of sequins, beads or beads;
- laying out patterns with rhinestones with teeth or spikes.
Before choosing the appropriate method, you need to carefully examine the surface of the backpack, make sure that it is intact and undamaged.If there are any, you must first repair the product. Otherwise, the decorated accessory will look unpresentable.
The choice of how to decorate the bag is up to the owner of the backpack. It all depends on personal taste preferences, as well as skills in working with a particular material. Any method, if desired, can provide interesting work on your favorite thing and a decent result.
Method No. 1 Full coloring
Full or partial painting of a backpack will give an old item some personality and add chic to the whole look. Using aerosol or acrylic paint designed specifically for application to fabric, you can create the most unusual patterns or paint the entire backpack. For example, taking an ordinary foam sponge and mixing several paints on any surface, you can dip the sponge in them and go over the backpack. In this way, they usually create an incredible “space” print on textile items.
Method number 2 Drawing with paints
If a girl is good at drawing, you can pick up special markers and make drawings on the surface of the backpack yourself. Experts also recommend using special patterns and forms, according to which you can draw a variety of patterns. Trendy this season are geometric shapes, abstract appliqués or animalistic motifs.
Method No. 3 Thermal adhesives
Iron-on appliqués can be purchased at craft supply stores. They are made with a glued layer, which is easily fixed to the fabric by ironing with a hot iron. This is a very original and simple idea on how to decorate a backpack at home without breaking the bank.
Method number 4 Fringe
Bags with fringes have recently become fashionable. Many girls who follow fashion trends already have various accessories decorated with fringe in their wardrobe. In fact, making fringe on an old backpack is quite simple:
- purchase material suitable for the backpack;
- line and then cut it into thin strips;
- make holes along the edge of the backpack with a sharp awl;
- Insert the resulting ribbons into the holes and tie them with knots.
The process does not require much time or money. And the result is very stylish. The bag will shine with new colors, giving the whole image some confidence and courage.
Method No. 5 Appliques and stripes
Another way to quickly transform an outdated backpack. In the handicraft department, we purchase absolutely any patches to suit the fashionista’s taste and sew them onto the backpack in any place you like. These can be rubber stripes or embroidered appliqués. Any design is appropriate if it is to the taste of the owner of the fashion item.
Don't be too zealous in decorating the product. A surface filled with stripes and stickers will not look stylish, but childishly inappropriate. Stickers are used in moderation.
Method number 6 Sequins and beads
Girls, whose image is always feminine and beautiful, are encouraged to use beads, beads of various sizes and shiny sequins for decoration. This is a good option for creating a romantic look. Shiny and very feminine details will create an attractive, sweet look.
Method No. 7 Rhinestones with teeth and spikes
For fans of the glam rock style, sharp spikes or slightly less aggressive rhinestones with teeth are suitable.Despite some aggressiveness, this method of decoration always looks relevant and has not left the fashion stage for many seasons in a row.
