Pins: for a touch of rock style 

Pins are a fantastic way to personalize your fabric backpack without damaging it. You can change them anytime for a new style. You can even use gold or coloured pins for extra flair! Arrange the pins in a star or another simple shape on your bag, or add small beads to create a cool pixelated design. Click here to get instructions and extra creative ideas!

Markers: an easy technique

Grab some fabric markers or permanent markers and draw right on your backpack! You can write your name, or draw hearts, flowers or stars. You can even let your friends add little messages. It’s a super easy technique to create a bag that’s 100% your style.

Embroidery: a fun challenge

If you’re up for a little challenge, try embroidery! With an adult’s help, you can stitch your name, a small flower, a heart or a star onto the fabric. It takes a bit more time, but the result is incredibly pretty, totally unique and lasts a long time. You can use the threads in this Nebulous Stars kit, and even add a few beads!

Felt: for something soft

Felt is a great way to customize your backpack in a fun and creative way! You can find ready-made felt shapes at craft stores: stars, hearts, flowers and animals. Use fabric glue to stick them on your backpack (it works best with a fabric backpack). Want to make something even more unique? Get some colourful felt sheets and cut out your own shapes! Let your imagination run wild, or download a template here to recreate these shapes and many more!

Stickers: for infinite variety

Stickers are perfect for personalizing your backpack. But they don’t work on every surface! Use Nebulous Stars stickers only on vinyl bags. The smooth surface helps them stick better, so they last a long time. You can even arrange them in a creative way to tell a little story! Tip: avoid using stickers on fabric bags, since they’re more likely to peel off.
