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

  1. Choose a laptop bag that is as small and compact as will fit your laptop.
  2. Choose any color but black. Stand out from the millions of black laptop bags in the world.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Keep your bag clean and organized. It should not just look good, but be handy, too.
  6. 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.
  7. If you're crafty, make your own laptop case. You could sew, crochet, or see the related articles for more ideas.a
  8. 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".
