You know those super trendy, cute clear backpacks? We’re showing you how to add a little something-something to them to make them your very own! I don’t always love the idea of EVERYONE seeing every little thing in my bag, so with this fun DIY you’ll give yourself a bit more privacy, add extra color and sparkle to your day, and you’ll get to customize it exactly as you want it. Plus, you can use this technique for either an adult or kid’s backpack! Check it out…

You’ll need…
– backpack (or try a tote!)
– adhesive vinyl
– scissors (similar)

Here’s how…
1. Cut freehand strips of vinyl. (The imperfect lines are what make it fun!)
2. Peel and stick onto the backpack.
