Now that the nation has celebrated its 48th birthday and the visual feast is over, we explore some creative ways to make your National Day Parade funpack a trendy accessory for work. – Text by Sarah Quek
NDP funpacks usually have a short life cycle, and fall into disuse soon after the parade.
However, this year’s funpack—a white and red sail-shaped bag that features Singapore’s lion head symbol—has plenty of potential for a life outside of the parade.
Its simple and white design is perfect for doodling simple designs. Make the personalised funpack your sturdy and trendy companion at the office.
Personalising your funpack
The clean white surface of the funpack is your canvas to show off your personality.
Badges: Music-lovers, listen up. You can pin badges of your favourite rock bands like Guns and Roses, The Smiths or Pink Floyd on your bag, making it effortlessly cool.
Customised iron on patches: For movie buffs, customise your funpack with iron on patches of your favourite characters. Think cute yellow Despicable Me minions or formidable Transformers robots as adornments on your bag.
Free form: Exercise your creativity and design your own funpack. Use fabric markers to draw patterns, or sew on sequins, buttons and other recyclable materials to give it a textured feel and vintage look.
