How to Make Your Own Locker Organizers & Shelves

Shelves

• 1

  Measure the inside of your locker with a ruler or tape measure. You'll want to measure from the inside of the door to the back of the locker, as well as from side to side. Write this number down.

• 2

  Cut two pieces of wood to half an inch smaller than the dimensions of your locker. This will ensure they will fit inside, without any issues.

• 3

  Cut your dowels about a foot tall. You can cut them to two feet tall if you have a full-size locker.

• 4

  Place Super Glue on the top and bottom of your dowels. Lay one of the pieces of wood on the floor and stick the dowels down on the four corners of the wood.

• 5

  Let dry for a few moments, holding it down to adhere. Place the other piece of wood on top of the dowels.

• 6

  Place in your locker.

  Place in your locker with the open side toward you. Put papers and notebooks in the cereal box. Make as many as you like. To keep better organized, use each cereal box for a separate subject.
