HOW TO: BOHO BACKPACK

Hey Everyone! A couple of years ago I was inspired to make this awesome backpack! I figured if I was going to have to carry around a backpack every day, it should be something that really fit my personality. For the tutorial on how to make a similar backpack, I am going to add the link I used when making it. Here is the TUTORIAL: CLICK HERE. For the record, I did not make this video, I found it on youtube, and found it to be very helpful. 

Now for the fun part! Here are some ideas on how to make your backpack more fun and colorful! 

1. Use an Old Pair of Jeans! 

This is an awesome tip, because it not only gives you an awesome looking backpack, but it is also completely free! Denim is very sturdy and I had no problem carrying 4 textbooks to class everyday with it. It is a great material to you. If you use denim, you can even consider using a bleach pen to draw cute designs on it.

2. Pick a Fun Fabric for the Flap!

Obviously, you can choose to use any fun fabric to make a backpack that you will love. The fabric you choose can add to the style that you want to your backpack. Think about sewing fringe to the end of your flap for a more Boho look. If you choose to add fringe to your backpack, think about placing some beads on the bottom for even more fun! 

3. Use Friendship Bracelets For More Color!

On the small pocket on the front of my backpack, I added a simple colorful friendship bracelet just to add my own personal touch to my backpack. I love making bracelets, and they are really simple to make once you get the hang of it. I loved the personal aspect it added, so consider adding something that is personal to you! 

I hope this post was informative, and maybe even inspired you to make a backpack or even just add a few personal touches to your current backpack!
