-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Personalize Your Backpacks and Bags with Pins and Buttons
You can just buy a plain backpack with a solid color background and make it stylish on your own by just adding cool buttons and pins. Buttons and pins can be found for all of your favorite bands, tv shows, web sites, drinks, food, etc. Amazon has a pretty big selection of pins - Cool Buttons and Pins
- otherwise, a lot of clothing stores and accessory stores at the mall carry them.
Customize Your School Book Bags with Patches
Another idea is to use stylish embroidered or cloth patches that either can be sewn on or ironed on. These look really awesome and really make any bag look unique. I found an online store called Laughing Lizards that has them, but you can also get them on Ebay, at Amazon
or at your local crafts store.
