You don't get to be yourself in most areas of school, so make the most of your locker.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Colored paper
A tape measure or ruler
Magnets or clear tape
Pictures or magazine clippings
A dry-erase board, corkboard, or calendar
Stickers
Markers
A mirror
Removable wallpaper or contact paper
A small hook
An air freshener

Step 1: Choose a color scheme

Choose a color scheme for your paper background. Some people use multiple colors while others use just one. Consider making a border in a contrasting shade.

Tip: Some students choose a theme for their locker, like sports or movies.

Step 2: Measure your locker

Measure your locker before cutting any paper to make sure the pieces will fit in the spaces you want to use them.

Step 3: Use magnets

Use fun magnets or clear tape to attach the paper, so it will be easy to remove.

Tip: If magnets won't stick to your locker, use special removable wallpaper or contact paper, available at craft stores.

Step 4: Attach pictures

Attach pictures and magazine clippings to the background paper. It can be anyone—friends, family, musicians, movie stars, models, or a mix.

Tip: Leave some space open—you'll never know who you'll want to add on.

Step 5: Hang a spot for notes

Using magnets or clear tape, hang a dry-erase board, a corkboard, or a calendar so you can write notes and reminders throughout the year.

Tip: If using a dry-erase board or corkboard, be sure to hang a holder for tacks or a marker and eraser.

Step 6: Use stickers

Intersperse colorful and expressive stickers.

Tip: Have a small "seasonal" area that you can change for holidays, special occasions, or just whenever you feel like it.

Step 7: Add designs and quotes

Use colored markers to make your own designs or write quotes on your background paper.

Tip: Attach a small hook to the ceiling of your locker and hang an air freshener.

Step 8: Hang a mirror

Hang a mirror. With only a minute or two between classes, your locker can serve as your post-lunch teeth inspection and post-gym hair check.

I only have about 2 min in between classes....

And my locker is a half locker.

I can't even fit anything more in other than my books...

I can't even wear a coat inside the building, plus I have NO room.

When you only see your locker for a minute or two why decorate. Personally, I don't care

[AlwaysLoveAnime4ever]

My school doesn't use lockers at all

[KamileCamilla]

gash u can't do stuff like that in my school. :\\ The only thing that we can do is magnets, but if it is going to be too bright and stuff, it will get too much attention and u will probably loose your locker for like... week.

[AngelXoXBabyDollFace]
