Revamping An Old Backbag

I'm not really a 'backbag' kinda girl. However, lately I've been needing something comfortable to carry my stuff in. I had an old, cheap and plain backbag that I decided to alter a bit to make it more 'my style'.

I removed the small label at the front pocket, then used fabric paint and some paper doilies to make the pattern. Some trimming on the edge of the zippers and a lace bow to add a little touch of girlishness.

Now I might actually use the backbag more :)

(the time doesn't include the trying time of the paint)
