(1) Painting and Drawing on Your School BackPacks

You don’t have to be a an artist to paint and or draw on your backpack, but if you or your child loves to draw, then this book bag painting craft will be even more fun for you or your child. Nobody else will have the same exact knapsack as you…it will be a great keepsake to keep for years to come. It would also be neat to make a different personalized backpack every year so that you can put all of your special projects from that year in your personalized book bag from that year.

(2) Personalize & Decorate Your School Book Bags / BackPacks with Sharpie Markers

My daughter, Sarah, wanted to make her school backpack to look extra special this year. As a Mom who loves to draw, I figured that I would put my talents to use and brainstorm with her to find out what sort of pictures I should draw on her backpack.You don’t have to be a an artist to put together a personalized backpack, but if you or your child loves to draw, then this book bag decoration craft will be even more fun for you or your child.

(3) Crayola’s Bag the Books! Craft

I like the idea of just getting a plain white backpack (maybe from OrientalTrading.org) and letting your child’s imagination color in their school back pack. You can even make it a joint project between you and your child so that it turns out looks good.

(4) Hot Rod Backpack Straps

This is really a cool idea for not only hot rods and matchbox cars, but also other favorite toys or objects of your child. Some little guys we know don’t like leaving their cars at home. Now they don’t have to. Thanks to the miracle of Velcro, favorite vehicles can hitch a ride on kids’ backpack straps, where they are both cool-looking and available for action.

(5) Personalize Your School Backpack

Send your child back to school in style and help them express their creativity by personalizing their school backpack. A good way to personalize and customize your school backbag is to put iron-on patches, pins, and other decorative items all over it.
