- 1). Take four popsicle sticks and lay them out in a square. Let the ends hang out just a little at the corners. Paint them whatever color you choose, then use a dot of hot glue in between the sticks at each corner to hold them together. Allow to dry and decorate as you wish, whether it be with paint, stickers or glitter. Finally, take two magnets and glue (or stick) them to the back of the popsicle sticks. Tape a picture that expresses you behind it, and you've made a framed picture for your locker.
- 2). Buy some mirror pieces from the craft section of your local store. Some sell them in different shapes, while others only sell circles or squares. Either will work; just get a bag with a lot of little ones in it. Next tape the mirrors onto your locker in a shape that you like (or use a small magnetic strip glued to the back). You arrange them in the shape of your first initial, hearts or circles, or just glue them in random spots. It's catchy and fun-looking, and it beats the traditional square mirror any day!
- 3). Find a soup can and peel off the label. (This will only work with a silver can.) Take some spray or acrylic paint and paint the outside to match your picture frame. It may take a few coats of acrylic paint for you to really cover it. Then cut out some fun, eye-catching pictures from magazines and glue them on the can. Spray the entire thing with a clear, glossy coating and place it on a shelf in your locker as a pencil holder. Now you'll never lose your pens again!
