DIY Hello Kitty Backpack

I love Hello Kitty, I have since I was about 5. And I thought it would be fun to figure out a way to make a DIY HELLO KITTY BACKPACK!

This is a bag for all ages of fun-loving, Hello Kitty fans, from 1-10! It's easy, fast, and people will be in awe at your creative skills, when they ask where you got it, and you say: I MADE IT!


So here's how to take a plain ol' backpack and turn it into this, adorable, super cute and happy backpack of awesomeness:

WHAT YOU NEED TO GET YOUR HELLO KITTY CRAFTING ON:

#1. WHITE BACK PACK- I got this Jansport backpack at Tilly's, but when I went to find a link for you guys online, I found this one was way cheaper, so, enjoy not paying as much as I did, hee hee:
WHITE JANSPORT BACKPACK EBAGS

#2. DECOFABRIC PENS in Black and Yellow- I got mine at Michael's Crafts but you can get them online here:
DECOFABRIC PENS (I tried it with some other fabric pens and a Sharpie pen I had, but they both bled the ink really badly, the Deco Pens didn't do that at all)

#3. RED RIBBON BOW- Celebrate It Red Ribbon (I got it at Michael's Crafts on the Ribbon Aisle)

#4. A seam-ripper or screw (to remove the "Jansport label")

#5. Scissors

#6. The tag from the backpack to use for the center of the bow

#7. A juice bottle cap or anything round to use to trace

#8. A Pen

#9. A Nickel or and coin to use to mark the width of the eyes

#10. Safety Pins: 1 big one and 2 small ones

Now come hang out with me for a few minutes and I'll show you how I made this!
