Unique ways to decorate a backpack?

[madison]

I just got a new backpack for the upcoming school years and it's pretty plain. It's a Jansport backpack and it's a really pretty teal color, but I want to add a few decorations to it. My mom said I can't write on it, but I can add other decorations to it. Does anyone have any unique ideas for decoration? Any ideas are welcome as long as they don't have to do with writing on the bag. Thanks!

I have the Jansport acid wash one. My style has it's grunge moments so I put cool patches on it and buttons.
