I'm buying a new Under Armor backpack soon and it's gonna be my school and cheer bag... i was wondering about ways to decorate it. It's solid black and i wanna add blue to it.. thanks for your help in advance.

Cheerbows?

I make my own bows do I'll probably add some of those but I want it to look like Peyton Mabry's World's backpack.

rhinestones is your best bet (hot glue and rhinestones!) or a bedazzler.

i agree bedazzle it and put lots of bows, pins from NCA/UCA and put like and embroidered patch with your name on it.

Don't use hot glue for the rhinestones. E3000 glue is your best bet. You can get it at craft stores.

Duct tape the top handle of the backpack with like cheetah print tape or something like that! It's simple but it'll give it enough so the backpack doesn't look plain!

Thanks for the tip about the glue!!

Maybe you can find some of those plastic zip ties and pull them really tight, then cut the ends off. They have them at Walmart, 50 zip ties for $5!

If your backpack was very expensive, I would suggest not doing anything that will damage it or be permanent. I got my North Face backpack my sophomore year in high school and I'm planning on using it as much as I can through college. I'm not sure what grade you're in, but Under Armor and North Faces usually last a while so I would just put the bows on. You don't want to have to buy a new backpack just because you out grown the rhinestones. Just my opinion though...

 

[Sammy_famouscheer]

Thanks but I already put on the rhinestones!! But I love it!! & I'm a jr this year & I'm gonna use this bag through college as well!!

For the areas of the backpack that will see the most wear & tear i would suggest sewing on a patch instead of gluing rhinestones.
