Back-2-School Locker Accessories!!

School's back!! And for me, I'm going to middle school..and I don't want to go there, at all. The only thing that'll make me get up from my bed on Sept. 4th, and go to school (in my ugly uniform) is my locker and my friends. And it's not like I can decorate my friends, so I'll just settle for the good ol' locker! And buying locker items at the stores can be boring and down-right expensive! So...being my crafty little self, I thought I'd make them! Many kids are getting lockers this year, so let's make your kids' or your locker the unique one! It's craft time!

     

I came across this on a fantastic blog called Sassy Style Redesign!

Now..we need to get our materials! To the d$llarstore! Three cheers for the dollarstore for having everything! Hip-hip, DOLLARS! Hip-hip, DOLLARS! Hip-hip, DOLLARS! $$ 

     

Just your basic needs:

• Emergency pencils, pens, erasers..
• Notepad
• Gum (for those days when mom packs tuna)
• Kleenex 
• Hairbandz (you never know..)
• Magnets - to hang my millions of pics of my fancied British celebs (1D) 
• and everything else in the picture...   

         

Eraser+hot glue+magnet=Adorable eraser magnets! And....washi tape+mirror+me=out of control washi-fied mirror! 

   

    

Now of course we need a holder for our pencils, now don't we? So let's take some ordinary cups and some pretty little tapes and make the best pencil holder ever! Be creative and use many little ones, instead of using one or two!

 You can also use a wire mesh pencil holder (obviously it can be bought at the dollar store) 

and you can craftify them up with tiny tissue flowers!

     Tutorial here.

      

Now doesn't everyone have an old frame, just lying around....well I don't. So on my trip to the dollar store, I saw a little frame and thought, "This could be useful, if not, I'll just stuff a picture inside"!

And if you have (spray) paint, oh you'll love this! And get a foam core board or cork board (dollar store, man do I love that store!) and put it inside the coloured frame! 

And with the help of push pins, we have our very own pin board thingy! (This is the part where you clap)..

 Cute, huh?

      Every kid needs one!

Now if your like me, you'll make a kit ONLY filled with chocolate! It's the only thing I need to survive middle school! TRUST ME.

 

And ALL these SIMPLE and CHEAP ideas, are so useful, and adorable! After I made a few of these I literally said "HOLY CRAFT! I love it!" Holy craft..now where have I heard that? Hmmmm...well it sounds kinda funny, maybe I should make that my little catchphrase!

HOLY CRAFT!!

Now that I have my locker problem solved....

I need to get my middle school problem solved......

JUST MY LUCK! There isn't a solution! Oh well..

And May the CRAFT be with you!
