Apropos of clearly nothing, my dear friend Roseld sent me a most wonderful and somewhat rare gift.  A mint condition children’s backpack from licensed with Binney & Smith’s trademark, Crayola.  The elation from sheer uniqueness of which I am still getting over was tempered by the fact that there was no way that I could strap this onto my back, nor do I have the charity to give this to a deserving child.

A need to change laptop bags and a purchase of a ridiculously expensive luxury bag gave me a great idea to finally use the backpack.  I purchased hardware and polyester seatbelt material and fashioned a strap.  I looped the squared O-rings through the arms of the backpack.  No sewing or altering of the backpack was needed; I didn’t want to spoil or alter it in any way.  Gravity and the weight of the contents of the bag keep the shoulder strap in place, et voila – one of a kind laptop case that even a hipster would have to be envious of.
