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.

DIY Painted Boxes – School Supplies, Planters & More

Pin to Pinterest

We have had fun crafting! This little craft inspired our homework center this year (take a look at more Homework Center Ideas.) Find some wooden boxes (we got our set of 3 at Target for $7) and have fun with craft paint to make this abstract look.

Supplies:

• Wooden Boxes (we got ours at Target)
• Painters Tape
• Foam Paint Brush
• Martha Stewart High Gloss Acrylic Craft Paint – We used Blue, Pink, and Aqua
• Paper Plate or Paint Palette

Directions:

1. Lay a piece of old newspaper down before you start working.
2. Place a piece of painters tape at an angle from the bottom left corner to the top center of your large block and another piece at an angle from the bottom right corner to the top center.
3. Press your tape smooth and paint the triangle you created with two coats of pink paint.
4. Now place a piece of painters tape at an angle from the bottom right corner to the left corner of your medium sized box and press the tape down smooth.
5. Paint your second triangle on your medium sized box with two coats of your teal paint and let dry.
6. Now place a piece of painters tape at an angel from the bottom left corner to the top right corner of your small box and press smooth.
7. Paint your smallest triangle with two coats of your blue paint and let dry.
8. Repeat to all sides of each box (optional).
9. Peel the painters tape off all sides and fill with your desk supplies.
