Draw four different backpack designs onto the basic templates in your booklets. Choose contrasting styles and shapes for each one. Think about adding colour, pattern, character or expression.
Design stage
Essential Tools and Materials required
glitter / sequins
feathers
paints and brushes
coloured tissue paper / shiny paper / cellophane / fabric
secateurs
withies
gaffer tape / duct tape
masking tape
PVA glue
Ensure your frame is as sturdy as possible.
Reinforce the joints with gaffer tape.
Add a fan by attaching either 3 or 5 withies diagonally to the frame, fixed at the bottom in the centre. It would be best if these withies are much longer, extending above your head when the backpack is worn.
Further withies could be added to the frame to create shapes such as leaves.
Take care when bending them and make sure all joins are securely fastened with masking tape and then gaffer tape.
Start building onto your frame with card, tissue and fabric. Designs can be simple or elaborate - just keep them bright and bold!
Add finer details with paint, card, glitter and feathers. Choose anything that will help your backpack stand out!
