For many backpack owners, personalization is half the fun. If you buy a pack and are already itching to stick the first bit of flair on the side, we have a selection of backpack pins that make personalization a breeze.

Add Character

Whether you already own a mono-colored bag or you'd rather add a flash of personality in bits and pieces, cute pins for backpacks are a great way to make a standard bag your own. On campus, your backpack is a big part of your daily life. Why not make it fun? Even travel bags or hiking bags can benefit from a pin or two, making them easy to pick out in a luggage rack or a pile of friends’ packs. Funny pins for backpacks, witty jokes, aesthetic looks: the world of backpack pins is wide open for you to explore.

Mix and match

Aesthetic pins for backpacks are great because you don't have to keep them the same from day to day. Switch out your pins based on your mood, the seasons, your interests, or any of the the ways you develop throughout your pin-decorating career. More permanent patches can be added to your bag, but nothing beats the versatility and flexibility of cool pins for backpack decoration.

Trade around

While our enamel pin backpack decor is top notch, maybe a friend has an older pin that you'd love to have. It's easy to trade buttons and pins for backpacks, plus it makes a great story on the road. Trade with friends, acquaintances, or even strangers to get not only a new pin, but a story to go with it.

FAQs about Pins

Where's the best place to put pins on a backpack?

While the placement of your backpack pins is all up to you, there are a few places that are more common, plus some less-than-ideal pin locations.

• Main Backpack Body: This is one of the most common places to put backpack pins. Spread them out across the bag, localize them to one of the smaller pockets, or cover the whole bag in pins. It’s up to you! Just make sure you can zip and unzip all the pockets easily.
• Straps: Another big yes! Putting pins on your backpack straps is a great way to show them off. Keep them higher up the straps to show them off and avoid hitting them as you walk. Try on the bag with the pins to ensure they don’t rub your arms.
• High Impact Areas: Obviously, the bottom and back of your pack aren’t great spots for pins. But keep an eye out for places you bump a lot with your backpack to avoid getting pins knocked off. Pushing through crowds a lot? Keep the sides clear. Putting your pag under airplane seats? Relegate pins to the top.

How to put a pin on a backpack?

Our enamel pins have a post (with a sharp end for poking through fabric) and a keeper that fits over the post to lock it in place. All you need to do is figure out where you want your pin, poke the post through the fabric, and slide the keeper on the end. You’ll need to have the backpack pockets open to do this, since the post will come out inside the backpack.

Safety pin style clutches can be used to secure pins to places where the post won’t make it all the way through the fabric, like the straps, or even to hook around zippers or handles.
