It’s also great for holding your hair up in a bun. There’s no need to tie a knot – just twist the ends of the headband around each other and the wires inside will hold it in place. Headed to the beach? To the park? Just running errands around town? Pull your hair back in a twist wire headband and you’ve got fun summer hair with no fuss. Your tween can put this bad boy in the bottom of her locker so it can immediately get all kinds of junk piled on top of it.Ĭute summer hair is easy with a twist wire headband like this.
The making is so simple, it really doesn’t require much of a tutorial – but here goes anyway, because numbered steps make me happy. (I ended up making three – one for my daughter, and to give to other kids at her school.) And for the lining, I made good use of some cotton stash fabric I didn’t care for, so that was free. I bought half a yard, which actually is enough to make 4 locker rugs. I found some awesome bubble gum pink fake fur at JoAnn for $10.99 a yard. These things are so easy to make, and cheaper, too!Īll you need is a square of fake fur or cuddle fabric for the rug, and a square of cotton for the lining. I had already spent as much money as I felt like spending on a 12”x12” half locker for a 5 th grader, so I decided to see if I could DIY one for less than it would cost to buy one.Īnd friends, let me tell you the secret.
DIY LOCKER SHELF FULL SIZE
They’re like tiny little bath mats sized just right to fit your locker, but of course they’re nearly the same price as a full size bath mat. The same people who sell you locker chandeliers and locker wallpaper also sell locker rugs. I kid you not.īut of course, even with all that purchased fanciness, she of course comes home to tell me what is missing from her locker. And lighting! We got her a battery powered chandelier to hang in her locker.
Now they have fancy mirrors and dry erase boards and pencil cups. I remember back when I was in middle school, your locker was allll fancy if you had a locker shelf or maybe a magnetic mirror stuck to the door. So of course on our back-to-school shopping this year were things to deck out her locker.įor those of you who haven’t parented a tween in the last few years, decorating a locker has become a “thing”. My daughter is in 5 th grade this year! It’s her last year in elementary school – and her first year to have a locker.
