Anyone will love making this fun and easy DIY mini cork board. All you need is some paint, paint brushes, washi tape, craft cork square tiles, and adorable enamel pins. Place the washi tape on the cork square and then add paint where you'd like. Let dry, then place the enamel pins in the cork square for a little pizzazz.
These DIY Pom-Pom Garlands add a lot of fun to a locker. And they are super fun to make. Grab some baker's twine, a needle, and some yarn pom-poms. Begin to string them together using the needle. Just stick the needle through the center of each yarn pom-pom. You can make these as long as you'd like.
The fun thing about lockers is the chance to use magnets. Like this DIY Magnetic Holder, which can store pencils, notes, treats or anything else. All you need is one of these magnetic storage boxes. We wanted to stick with our locker decor colors, so we spray painted it gold. But I love the bright rainbow colors that these come in.
I'm a big fan of adding in plants where I can. This may sound silly, but it can actually lift your mood. So why not add them to your locker? They will help give you a breath of fresh air when you are stressed about tests and homework. Grab a DIY ceramic mini flowerpot and add some paint. Place a faux succulent pick in the flowerpot and you're all done.
Everyone needs to stay on organized when it comes to school work. That's why we created these Free Daily Planner Printables for your locker. With this download you'll get an 8.5 x 11" sheet that has a place to write down your schedule for the weekdays, and notes on the other side. We liked having these on mini rainbow clipboards so that we can grab them and write real quick. Add some magnets to the back, so they can stick right to the locker door. Tween's will love the bright colors and the chance to keep up with their own schedule.
