Make Your Locker Look Cool

Making your locker look cool can be very difficult sometimes. In some cases,it smells terrible, has distasteful colors, and is something that you would not want to be caught dead with.

Steps

Preparation

  1. Clean your locker out. Make sure you get rid of those smelly gym clothes, rotten tuna fish sandwiches, mold, and anything else that looks unappealing. Also Organize Your School Papers into folders, folders into binders, etc. Get it looking clean and without clutter.
  2. Give your locker a good scrubbing. Take a wet cloth or sponge and rub out all of the grime, dust, and sweat. A locker has to smell nice for you to feel good about it.

Planning the decoration

  1. Choose a theme for your locker to distinguish it from all the other boring lockers around. It can be something like a musical theme, a graffiti theme, a wildlife theme, a sports theme, or anything else that suits you.

Adding the cool factor to your locker

  1. Decorate the locker's walls. You will need a liner or wallpaper. The best way to do this is to use scrap-booking paper or buy some locker wallpaper from the store.You can also use thin fabric, that works well too. Stick up the wallpaper with tiny magnets; they to use clear or see-through ones. You can also use tape (depends on if you are using paper or fabric) or glue magnet sheets on the back of it.(Be careful, though. Sometimes the magnet sheets will be to heavy for paper and wrinkle it or not hold it up.)
  2. Focus on an accessory for the bottom of your locker. You can get some carpeting squares or some type of fabric from a craft store. Wondering how is will not slide about? Easy, just buy some grip mats, usually found under bath mats or carpets. Glue the grip mat to the fabric, but you might want to cut it so it will fit in your locker first.
  3. Add magnets. This includes magnetic accessories. Pick things such as dry erase boards, magnets, and bins. You can get a bulletin board to post pictures of your friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, pets, and family.
    • For dry erase boards, you can get different colored markers and write short notes or draw pictures.
    • Get little magnets that have pictures or words to match your color theme and your personality.
    • Get little bins to hold a cell phone, pencils, pens, dry erasers, etc.
    • Get other little magnetic things of your choice such as mirrors, notepads, and little magnetic shelves.
  4. Make an 'inbox' for "Secret Messages". If your locker is one that has vent slots or three underneath-openings at the top, you can use them for messaging. Get a magnetic bin and put it on the inside, right underneath the slots. Now you have a mailbox at school.Y our friends can leave you notes between classes. You can get a piece of paper and write "MAILBOX" on it and put it above the slots, again on the inside. Get your friends to do the same and you will have a spot to receive mail every day.



Tips

  • Spray it with air freshener once in a while, if it starts to smell again. Don't overdo it, or you'll leave the entire corridor smelling like air freshener--and believe it or not, some people don't want that.
  • Make sure you leave room for your books, clothes, pencils and stuff; that's what the locker was for in the first place.
  • Find a good time to do all of this (i.e., after school, before school.)
  • If you find yourself one of those people who doesn't keep your books in your locker find another use for it. Put some mirrors, hooks, and shelves to make a miniature closet you can use to freshen up your look between classes. It adds 'you' into your locker. Make it reflect who you are!

Warnings

  • Follow your instincts. If you don't think your school is going to tolerate you decorating your locker, don't do it!
  • Remember, this is at school, not in your bedroom. Go along with your theme, but put appropriate stuff up. Don't put up pictures of bikini-clad girls, or scribble swear words all over it. If your school doesn't allow it, don't use tape. Do not vandalize your locker in any way.
