Locker Ideas for the Coolest Kid in the Hall

Fun and creative locker ideas for the coolest kid in the hall. School locker organization DIY on Frugal Coupon Living for Middle and High Schoolers.

Locker Ideas for the Coolest Kid in the Hall

Pin to Pinterest

Middle school can be intimidating. The big halls, the switching classes, feeling like a little fish in a large pond… but come on, when it comes to the locker (only), you know you wanna go back. To me, decorating a locker is like the graduation of decorating your childhood doll house. You have graduated from the dolls/Barbies, but this gives you your unique space to have fun and call your own. While my girls are still in elementary school, I had fun with this post. I love the rungs, the chandeliers, the shelving, the decor, all the little touches that would make your little (excuse me, big girl) feel special on the first day of school! And you know what mom, a lot of it is still fun and juvenile just to keep her from growing up too soon!

Locker Party Idea: with some of these homemade locker crafts, consider having friends over a few weeks before school starts. You could buy plush fabric and make your own locker carpets. You could also buy all the supplies you need to make some of these DIY locker decorations. It’s a fun way to celebrate and bond before the first school bell rings.

Ok really, how easy and adorable are these DIY Glittered Clothespins? Frugal, easy, and a fun locker accessory! I love that you can do them yourself in a day. You know our little girl will take pride in them too. | The Proper Blog

A school locker essential might be a fun dry erase board. We love this Locker Zebra Dry Erase Board from Pottery Barn Teen. You can find more HERE.

Have your subjects stand out with these printable binder covers! Easily see each subject without digging in your locker! | The Preppy Greek


In your locker, magnets must be strong! Take a look at the best locker magnet. This one can hold a lot of weight without slipping! | Lockers and Magnets

The floor of a locker can get gross – especially after the dozens of students that have used the locker before you! Pick up a fun locker rug – a Locker Lookz Shaggy Rug!

Your daughter is going to love personalizing her space! Take a look at these fun and creative locker wallpapers! No one wants to look at ugly metal! These prints come from Pottery Barn Teen.

Just walking inside a Hobby Lobby store gives me inspiration. If you need a look to inspire your creative locker juices, take a look at this adorable locker! | Hobby Lobby

Chandelier in your locker? We say “Yes please!” Let there be light. | The Container Store

I love this color coded key for keeping track of your subjects and classes. Notice how each binder is a different color and the chart on the locker door lists the color-coded subjects. | Source Unknown

Create a survival locker kit. Have hair ties, hand sanitizer, mints, feminine products, chap-stick and more! | Frugal Coupon Living

Did you realize a cereal box can turn into a magnetic bin – talk about money saved! We love this locker tip! | Soho Sonnet

This is adorable – stand out with a little fringe for a totally unique locker decor idea. | BHG (You can get the magnetic tape here!)

Even Ziploc is ready for back to school season! Take a look at these fancy spray painted magnetic Ziploc® organizers for your locker | Ziploc

Is staying organized difficult. Take a look at this homemade ombre command center, perfect locker decor! | She’s Kinda Crafty

A disco ball would be kind of cool, no? Turn a clear ornament with a broken up CD into a homemade locker disco ball! | Creme De La Craft (you can also buy one here)

A twist on the traditional s’more recipe. Think outside your classic ingredients with this Ritz Nutella S’mores using marshmallow fluff on Frugal Coupon Living. Take a look below on how we went one step further with this quick and easy dessert.

Ritz Nutella S’mores

Pin to Pinterest

You probably know from all the  S’more Recipes on our blog, we are a bit obsessed with the rich taste of marshmallow, chocolate and a little crunch. You might also remember from our  S’mores Campfire Cones that we like to take a classic recipe and twist it up! Anyone else? Of course, a little twist to a s’more is trading your traditional chocolate for Nutella. But why not go one step further and twist of the traditional cooking your treat is placed on. This Nutella flavored s’more is placed on top of a Ritz cracker instead of your well-known graham cracker.  If you decide to go a step further than we did, buy some  melting chocolate chips and tip your finished product in the rich flavor of milk or even dark chocolate. Place on a cookie tray and cool in the refrigerator. Happy eating!

Ingredients:

  • 24 Ritz Crackers
  • 13 oz jar of Nutella
  • 7 oz Kraft Jet Puffed Marshmallow Creme
  • Optional: Melting chocolate chips


Directions:

  1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Lay 24 Ritz crackers on the lined cookie sheet and generously spread Nutella on 12 of them.
  3. Spread a heaping Tablespoon of marshmallow creme on the remaining crackers.
  4. Place the Nutella and marshmallow creme crackers together, like a sandwich.
  5. Enjoy and Share!

Yield: 12 S’mores

Optional: Consider dipping the cracker sandwich in melted chocolate and let cool!

Take a look at this homemade sand playdough on Frugal Coupon Living. We paired this kids craft with a fun pirate vignette for all the more fun. Aaarrgghh!

Pirate Homemade Sand Playdough

Pin to Pinterest

Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! It’s talk like a pirate day every day when you have this Homemade Sand Playdough. We had fun with this creative, crafty vignette. Create a fun pirate scene for hosting a party or just for an afternoon of play at home. This DIY project is much easier than you think using your every day pantry ingredients including water, vegetable oil, flour, salt and cream of tartar. We added some fun elements like decorative sand, gems (our loot), and pirate figures. Of course you could personalize this to any scene creating an under water adventure with mermaids, fish, and coral. We think this could be a fun scene for finding nemo. My girls wanted to use the leftover sand playdough for Barbie. Create a fun shoreline for Barbie to sit down and relax on her next beach getaway. If creating sensory play for for preschoolers, get some small dump trucks and go over giant mounds of sand! Whatever your style, you choose the scene, you choose the fun!

Pirate Homemade Sand Playdough

Supplies:

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup salt
  • 2 Tablespoons cream of tartar
  • 1 cup decorative sand
  • Aquamarine gems
  • Pirate play figures and accessories


Directions:

  1. 1. Add the water and oil to a large sauce pan and stir to combine. Add the flour, salt and cream of tartar and whisk until all of the ingredients are wet and the flour lumps have disappeared.
  2.  Keep stirring over medium heat until a stiff ball of dough forms and you can no longer stir the dough easily (3-4 minutes). It will look like a ball of pizza dough.
  3. Immediately remove from the heat and place the warm playdough on a level workspace. Knead for 1-2 minutes or until soft and smooth.
  4. Flatten the kneaded playdough out on your workspace and sprinkle 1/4 cup of the craft sand on top. Knead the sand into the playdough and add another 1/4 cup of sand. Continue to work the sand into your playdough with your hands until its well mixed.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining sand on top and add a few aquamarine gems for water. This homemade sand playdough will give your kids hours of sensory and role playing fun! Add pirate figurines, trees, treasure chest, crocodile, etc…any kind of fun pirate accessories you may have. This is a great sensory activity!
  6. ENJOY!!

You can keep in an airtight plastic bag or container for up to three months. We think Tupperware works great!
