Locker Clip Craft for Kids

Decorate your lockers with these awesome DIY locker clips. Keep up with photos, pictures, homework, and notes with these fun and colorful locker clips.

Supplies Needed to Make Custom Locker Clips

• Paint Pens.  We love our set with  Neon and primary colors.
• Wooden Clothespins or try the extra large wooden clothespins
• Heavy Duty  Magnetic Tape

Directions to Make Locker Clips

Step 1

Using permanent markers or paint markers, decorate the sides of your clothespins.  

We added triangle teeth, polka dots, zebra stripes, swirls and stars!

Step 2

Add the magnetic tape to the back of the clothes pin locker clip once decorated. If the self-adhesive doesn’t hold as strongly as you desire, you can always reinforce it with the glue gun.

Our Experience Making Locker Clips

It was fun to talk about matching, to hear the things my middleschooler was looking forward to in the upcoming year, the things that she is worried about… Kids love to talk while they work.

I loved each moment! One of the things I love about paint pens is that they dry pretty quickly, so this is a fast art project.  You can add layers of paint with only a couple of minuets in drying time.
