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

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
How To Decorate Your Locker: Choose a color scheme

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.

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

How To Decorate Your Locker: Measure your locker

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.

How To Decorate Your Locker: Use magnets

Step 3: Use magnets

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

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

How To Decorate Your Locker: Attach pictures

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.

Leave some space open—you’ll never know who you’ll want to add on.

How To Decorate Your Locker: Hang a spot for notes

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.

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

How To Decorate Your Locker: Use stickers

Step 6: Use stickers

Intersperse colorful and expressive stickers.

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

How To Decorate Your Locker: Add designs and quotes

Step 7: Add designs and quotes

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

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

How To Decorate Your Locker: Hang a mirror

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.

Some schools have started using clear lockers so teachers and administrators can make sure students aren’t hiding contraband.

Just wanted to make a suggestion if you're not looking to go so extreme with locker decorating. I found a product called Easy Photo Magnets. All you have to do is stick a photo magnet to the back of a printed photo and they're ready to hang. My daughter had her locker loaded with pics of her friends and of course us, her family last school year. I was looking for some new ideas for this coming year and that's how I came across this site. Anyways, the site is EasyPhotoMagnets.com if anyone is interested.
