Can you spray paint a backpack?
It's definitely doable, but whenever I've spray painted backpacks two things have become apparent; you'll probably end up using more paint than you'd think, as the fabric absorbs it, and that much spray paint tends to make the fabric stiff and sort-of tacky feeling. Dying the pack with RIT dye might be a better option.
What kind of paint do you use on a backpack?
All you need is acrylic or fabric paint, primer (this is optional) a colored pencil (color depends on the color of the backpack) paint brushes, water and your design. Using the color pencil, you'll sketch out the design of your choice and then follow up with some primer.
