Decorating Your Laptop So it is Perfectly You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Marist chapter.

In our increasingly technology driven society, it is a rarity to see someone without their laptop in hand anymore! Since your laptop has basically become an extension of yourself, you might as well decorate it and add some personality to this essential item! Here’s how to do so in two easy steps!

All you really need for this project (which is a super fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon) is a laptop case and a boatload of stickers! Most people make the mistake of buying a laptop case in the store because of the fact that it’s convenient and you want to make sure your laptop is protected pronto! However, it is so much easier if instead you simply order online for your case…and more economically friendly too! If you are a member of Amazon Prime, you can get a nice new laptop case in which you can decorate and make perfectly “you” at a relatively low cost and it will arrive in roughly two days! Furthermore, the cases come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. That being said, if you are planning on decorating it, you might as well stick to an either clear or solid color case so that your stickers do all the talking and it doesn’t get too confusing.

Now for the fun part: putting on your stickers! First, you have to decide if you are going to want your stickers to all be spaced out, or if you want some overlap, more like a collage. This is entirely up to you yet both of these exude a different vibe so decide which is more “you.” You have options as to where you want to get your stickers, however! You can order off of Red Bubble, where you can order designs that have been created by artists, or you can order from Etsy or a different similar sight. However, if you want your laptop to have a more eclectic vibe, save some space and don’t decorate it all at once! When you go on vacation or to visit a friend that lives in a different place, grab a sticker in a local shop with the location on it. That way, when you look at your laptop case, you will remember all the memories that you have made during your long days staring at your laptop on the library. You can also put a sticker from your college on your laptop – the type that they make for the back of car windows work just fine! Another option is a monogram sticker so your laptop is distinctly “you!” Also, another way to spruce up the look of your laptop is by placing stickers near the keyboard, on the empty space next to the mousepad.

With these simple steps, your laptop is sure to have more personality and be unique to you, and really, who doesn’t want that?
