How should I decorate a plain black laptop case without it looking cheap?
I’m about to go off to college and I wanted a fun laptop case. I had trouble finding one that worked. So I just got a plain black one with the intention to adding a little flair. What are your suggestions on how to decorate it without it looking stupid?

if you can draw draw pictures that make you think of home so you wont get lonely who cares what ppl will say if they ask youll have a stoory to tell with each pictures
you can get your initials, either cut them out in fabric or get metal ones (preferably not gold or silver, something a little more off the wall) in large letters and decorate the front.
if you’re really good at art, you can get fabric paint and make a mural
you can get pictures of your family and decoupage them onto the front. or instead of pictures stuff you like such as postcards of your favorite places, quotes, stickers, etc. but it has to be a lot of stuff, amateur decoupage looks better when it’s a ton of layered stuff.
Go to a craft store, a bigger one will have better selection, and look at their scrapbook section. There are some high quality sticker, decals, etc.. in there. I can use those when accenting pictures frames and it looks professional and sleek. Not sure what craft stores you have where you’re located but Hobby Lobby is our best place here.
have an artistic friend paint it for you
if you dont have any crafty friends you could pay someone to do it just buy a case thats already decorated browse http://www.etsy.com
you can get glitter glue or maybe some pictures and decorate with that
They to avoiding it lookin cheap is gettin good quality interestin things. Avoid plastic.
I reccomend tat u chose a theme first so u have a guide, it can b seasons or high school. Keep the style witin ur taste, tat way it matches u. If ur nt artistic stick to smting simple. U can use ribbons, demim 4 a quilt pattern or make a photopattern by usin clear plastic sheets an fabric 2 make slots 2 hold photos. Or use metallic paint an a stencil. I cant draw so i made an abstract. Oh an dnt overdecorate it!
