How to design
your own locker
Every year, you have to go back to school, and every year, you get a new
locker. You're going to be using that locker for a good chunk of the year,
so it's a good idea to keep it interesting by decorating it.
Choosing your theme
Think about yourself and what you like, You may be interested f
in celebrities, or you may be more into Sports. Write down
anything that comes to mind.
Find pictures
Once you have a theme, look through old magazines and
newspapers. Find pictures pertaining to that theme, for
example, famous sports players you like or celebrities you
follow. Find pictures of you and your friends if you prefer.
Decorate your locker
You can make a collage by using wrapping paper for the
background and cutting pictures and shapes out of the maga-
zines. Glue them onto the background any way you like. Make
multiple collages to hang inside your locker door. Remember,
the doors are narrow, so don't make them too big.
TIP At the end of the year, you have to clean your locker out. Make it easy by
using magnets or sticky putty, which comes off cleanly.
