Abstract
Customizing belongings such as clothing, backpacks, purses, wallets, and jewellery can be an exciting way for teens to express themselves creatively. It is also a good way to personalize items that might be commonplace within peer groups. A plain backpack is transformed into a backpack with style. This helps teens get in touch with creative impulses in a way that encourages expression and individuality.
