Your Locker: A Guide to Decorating

Is your locker bland, boring, without personality? I'm here to change that. I'll give you some ideas on how to personalize and decorate your locker to make it totally yours.

Step 1 Magnet Mania!

Magnets, magnets, magnets! Magnets are useful for holding schedules, lunch cards, and just for making your locker look better!

Look on your family fridge for cool magnets to use. Souvenir shops also have some good magnets. Your local officemax has some nice ones too.

Making your own magnets, however, is much more fun and rewarding. Buy some magnet sheets with the sticky peel-off back, available at OfficeMax and at local craft stores. Pretty cheap. Next, find anything small enough to fit in your hand that you would want in your locker! Some good suggestions are:

Playing cards
Birthday cake toppers
Buttons
Business Cards
Game pieces (checkers, chess, etc.)
McDonald's toys
Postcards
Stickers (with backing still on)
Clothing tags
Coins
Pins

Make sure to cut out just enough magnet for the figure.
Also, you could magnet a small notebook and a pen/pencil to your locker for easy access.

Can someone help me? At our school, people "dead-bolt" each others, which means that they slide the bolt in when the locker is open. After that you have to put the combination in, again, to close it. We have lockers with built in combination/key backup locks. Can anyone help me? I think that you might be succesful by putting in a carabiner clip and sliding it on the latch. Can someone help me?

At my school we don't have normal lockers. We have one really thin, tall locker for your coat and another almost cube shaped locker for your books.

[Iridium7]

me too!

[bowmaster]

It is annoying because it is hard to decorate.

[Iridium7]

tahts why I don't go through the trouble of decorating it.

[craig3]

for those nerdier students, maybe add a little cushioning to the inside? dont wanna hurt to much when you get shoved in there

[M4industries]

Ha!

[lemonie]
