Supplies Needed to Make Custom Locker Clips
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.
