Here is a nifty way to make photo hangers for your locker this fall. With a little DIY-ing, you can easily coordinate colors and styles of your other décor, your school colors, or the seasons! Dress up your locker and create a fun place to stop by between classes!

Here's what you need: 

• Glue Lines®
• Glue Dots® Advance Strength Dispenser
• Clothes pins
• 2- .5 inch magnets
• Basic Grey 6" x 6" inch paper pad: Fiction (or other decorative paper)
• Stickyback Bling from the Eyelet Outlet
• Other embellishments as desired (trims, flowers, stars, hearts)
• Fiskars Paper Trimmer
• Ruler
• Scissors

Here's what you do:

1. Choose decorative paper patterns that will coordinate with your style, locker colors or school colors. Using the paper trimmer, cut a strip of paper that will fit the width of your clothes pin (approx. ½ inch).
2. Use Glue Lines to adhere the paper strip onto the clothes pin. Then, trim the ends off with a pair of scissors.
3. Add two magnets to the back of the clip, near the opening of the clothes pin, using Advanced Strength Glue Dots.
4. Add decorative embellishments to the front of the clip with Glue Dots Advance Strength adhesive.

These locker clips are a fun way to stay organized too. Hang up your school calendar, project timelines, or schedules for practices or meetings using one of these and you’ll be reminded at every opening what you have planned.
