These simple backpacks are made using 2 half metres of fabric, some cord and eyelets.


You can get all the necessary art equipment in these for a fun day out!  And check out this cool 'Colour Me Fabric' by Michael Millar - nothing to colour in?  Then why not decorate your backpack!

The full tutorial is here!

  17. My granddaughter would love that colour-it-yourself fabric. Her colouring books and pencils are the first things she plays with when she's with me, and we always have to take them on train journeys.
