Make a Laptop Bag Look More Feminine
Make your personal style statement with a personalized laptop bag that goes beyond all the generic store ones. This one says "You" with a capital Y.
Steps
- Choose a laptop bag that is as small and compact as will fit your laptop.
- Choose any color but black. Stand out from the millions of black laptop bags in the world.
- Add a dash of color on one corner of the bag.
- Add a cute sticker, or a snazzy pattern.
- Try fabric paint. You can paint it on yourself or use a stencil to get a clean design if you're not so artistic.
- Check out fabric stores for trim and brightly colored fabric that would fit your style. You can sew these items on if you know how, or simply hot glue them.
- Tie some decorative hangings to the zipper. A key chain, charms, and beads all work.
- Embellish the handle and the shoulder strap, which gives it a very smart look. This is another good place for a key chain, charms, and pins.
- Keep your bag clean and organized. It should not just look good, but be handy, too.
- Use just a slender laptop sleeve to protect the laptop. Then, put the sleeve into a larger tote bag or handbag. Tote bags come in all sorts of colors and styles. This has the added advantage of not looking like a laptop case, so it is a somewhat less obvious target for thieves.
- If you're crafty, make your own laptop case. You could sew, crochet, or see the related articles for more ideas.a
- Finished.
Tips
- Your laptop bag should reflect your own style, so choose embellishments that you like.
Warnings
- If you use the laptop for business, make sure that the resulting bag still looks professional. It should not look out of place when you carry your bag into a meeting or client presentation. It can be a color other than black and still say "boardroom" rather than "circus tent".
