Pins 

They attach and arrange with ease. They’re collectible and cute. Pins are every decorator’s go-to when it’s time to do some personalization. Here are some tips on how they can make your backpack pop: 

  • Vintage is always cool: Search your favorite classic movies, special interests, or tourist destinations and shop for pins that play on the theme. What you find will probably surprise you. 
  • Support your cause: Nonprofits, candidates, and issues that matter to you can be represented in eye-catching pins. 
  • Support independent artists: Pins are an Etsy staple. Search and browse some original and one-of-a-kind designs. 
  • Make your own!: Find a local or online service or DIY your own enamel pins—with the power of the internet at your fingertips, you can do almost anything. 

 

Patches 

Similar to the vast array of pins that are out in the world from various sources, you can find some very cool patches that have great designs and represent some of your favorite hobbies, bands, or passions. They can be ironed on or stitched, and they look special and unique. 

 

Keychains 

Shopping for keychains is a fascinating treasure hunt. But the best treasures you can hang from your zippers are from Kipling’s eclectic and expressive collection of monkey keychains and other cute and zany concepts.
