Using acrylic paint, and a Sharpie marker, I transformed this backpack into a one of a kind that my daughter will always know is hers. At first when I put the paint on, I was a little worried it was a stupid idea. BUT as soon as I got the Sharpie marker on it, I decided that I liked it after all. Take a look at the difference a little black marker can make!
I love the sketchy look of it, and the bright colors. Even better than that though, is that my daughter loves it.
IKEA released their catalog and gave us one at the event, and flipping through it I saw that there are a lot of awesome new products in the store. They have revamped a lot of their stuff. You should definitely go check it out!
Thanks IKEA!

I love this! My kids are complaining that they need new backpacks. They don't really "need" one, they just want one. I am loving how you made this over. So creative. You are one talented lady! I was at the event too, sad we didn't meet. Maybe at the next one. Have a happy week!
