Refashioning an Old Backback

 Materials: Old Backpack, Hot Glue Gun, Fabric Glue, Scrap Fabric, Ribbon, Buttons, and anything you have handy and want to add to the backpack.

 First, if there is anything on the front of the bag, remove it. Then, take a piece of  paper to trace the shape of the front of your bag then use that to size your fabric correctly.

Once your fabric is the right size use fabric glue and glue it on the front of your bag. Then, you can take different colored fabrics and add them on there anyway you'd like. Next, take the ribbon and line it along the edges of the fabric and any other place.

 If you would like to embelish your bag with a flower, take  three different sized cookie cutters and trace each flower on a different color fabric. Next cut the flowers out, layer them and glue them together. If you would like, you can glue a button to the center of the flower.

Here is the bag we started with on the left and the finished product on the right.
