It feels like summer vacation is just starting but my kids have been out for almost 1 month already! We start stocking up on school supplies next month. Vanessa is heading to middle school and when I received a box brimming with Mod Podge products, I knew what to make…locker accessories in bright, bold, tween girl style!
Mod Podge has a whole bunch of new items available in stores and I was lucky enough to receive all of these drool worthy products! What a haul! There is a Mod Podge Sampler Set, Podgeable Shapes, Tracing Templates, Adhesive Mounts, Rub-On Transfers, 7 Piece Tool Kit, Repositionable Glue, Jewel Glue, Wash Out For Kids Mod Podge, Podgeable Papers, Brush Applicator, Gold & Silver Dimensional Magic, Silicone Craft Mat, Super High Shine Sealer, Pearlized Glaze Sealer, Mod Podge Matte, Antique Matte Mod Podge, Super Gloss Mod Podge, Mod Podge Gloss, Glow-in-the-Dark Mod Podge, One Step Crackle Medium, Photo Transfer Medium, Hot Glue Finger Caps and a Roller Applicator! Wondering where you can pick up these items? You can find them at Michaels!
To make the locker bling, I used the Podgeable Shapes and the Tracing Templates. The larger shapes I turned into dry erase boards and the smaller shapes into magnets and backpack charms.
The first step was to choose paper. I wanted to stick with colors that worked together. I chose the “friends” paper as my color inspiration.
Then, using the Tracing Templates, I traced and cut out all of the shapes.
I Mod Podged the paper shapes face down onto the Podgeable Shapes using Mod Podge Gloss. I use my silicon mat to protect my table.
I used the squeegee to smooth out the papers. After allowing these to dry, I added a top coat of Mod Podge Gloss to the white side of the paper.
Once the Mod Podge dried, I added a magnet to the back of the Podgeable Shapes. I put 2 strips on the back of the larger items.
I also made some small clothes pins. First I put a magnetic strip on the clothes pins. Then, using the same Mod Podge Gloss, I added paper.
Once the Mod Podge dried, I decided to try out the Mod Podge Dimensional Magic. I cover the tops of the clothes pins and allowed them to dry.
I also made a couple of backpack charms using the Podgeable Shapes with holes.

Hi, I'm Tonia, a lover of food and photography! Fill a gunny sack with delicious ingredients, tie on an apron and let's get cooking!
I like them all, you did good!
These are really cute Tonia. Emelia loves things like this on her school bag.

That is so cool to use them as dry erase – never would have thought of it!
Adorable ideas for middle school! The clothespins are my favorite!
Love this project! Have you linked it up with me yet at Wow Us Wednesday?
Oh, those are so cute! My daughter starts kindergarden in the fall and I might have to do something similar for her classroom “cubby”.
She will just love her locker every time she opens it! Fun!
Absolutely adorable! Great job coming up with something so useful!
Those are all so cute Tonia!
How cute are all of these locker and backpack accessories. I wish my mom was crafty because I would have had all sorts of cool DIY things as kid!
