Try using tape or sticky tack to hang pictures in your locker. Hooks and hangers with adhesive, removable backings can also help you hang organizers, clothes, and/or bags.

Try getting to school early one morning! Bring all your decorating supplies with you in a reusable bag, and get to work before the bell rings.

Question

I can't find a plain, nice wallpaper for the life of me! Anywhere you'd recommend looking? I'm trying to find a blue, black, red, or gray wallpaper.

A colored wallpaper is sure to look great in your locker! Try searching online or heading over to your local craft store. Who knows? You may just find a different color or pattern you like more!

Question

What if you can't afford any of the tools needed?

You can decorate your locker with minimal costs! Head to a local dollar store if there is one nearby. Ask your art teacher if they have any paper or magazines they are recycling. Your art teacher will likely let you borrow scissors and tape if you need to as well.

Question

What if someone takes something off of my locker?

Karley Snyder

Community Answer

If you decorate the inside of your locker only, you minimize the opportunity for others to remove items from your locker. If they still take something from the inside of your locker, ask them politely to return it. If they refuse, ask a teacher, guidance counselor, or principal for assistance.

Question

Would putting photos, a mirror, a dry erase board, and wallpaper overkill?

Karley Snyder

Community Answer

This really depends on your personal style! To keep things balanced, go with a plain colored wallpaper, and dress your locker first. Then, add the mirror and dry erase board over top. If you'd like, you can add a few personal photos around the mirror and dry erase board to fill in the space.

Question

Can I use magnets instead of sticky tack?

Karley Snyder

Community Answer

You sure can! Both work great as nonpermanent hanging options. Use small magnets to easily put up your decorations.
