PERSONALIZED BACKPACKS WITH SHARPIE

STYLE IS BACK IN SESSION. Sure, your backpack totes your textbooks, laptop, and other school essentials. But it also doubles as a fashion accessory that reflects your personal sense of style. And like that favorite pair of worn-in jeans, backpacks are best once they’re broken in, a bit beaten up, and feel just right slung over your shoulder.

So while you may need to refresh your stash of school supplies as you head back to class after winter break, there’s no reason to sport for a brand-new backpack. But you can REVAMP IT for second semester with some easy and fun DIY design touches to add fresh character and personality.

PERSONALIZED BACKPACKS WITH SHARPIE

Here's how:

GRAB A SET OF STAINED BY SHARPIE™MARKERS specially designed for fabric surfaces. With a brush tip that draws both thick and thin lines, and ultra-vivid ink that resists fading in the wash, Stained by Sharpie are perfect for permanent marking on most backpack materials like canvas and nylon.

FREEHAND YOUR DESIGNS:

Put your natural talent for sketching and doodling on display as you stroll down the hall between periods.

  • On the front of your backpack, use a pencil to outline your fave band or sports team logos, your school crest or mascot, song lyrics you live by, or draw on your imagination to create one-of-a-kind designs of your own.
  • Once you’ve perfected your pencil sketches, color them in using the full rainbow of bold, brilliant Sharpie colors.
  • Sit back and admire your freehand handiwork—then wear your newly personalized ‘pack proudly.
