jean pockets converted into school locker pockets In just a few easy steps, your child can turn an old pair of jeans or shorts into a couple of pen and pencil holders that mount easily in a school locker.

Approximate Time: About 30 minutes

Supplies:

old pair of jeans or shorts
scissors
fabric paint
iron on patches
buttons
craft glue
magnetic tape

Instructions:

Begin by having your child cut each back pocket from the jeans. (Make sure she gets the material it's attached to as well and not just the pocket.) She should cut closely around the three sewn edges of the pocket.
Now she can start decorating by attaching any iron-on patches according to the package directions, using fabric paint, buttons, etc.
Let the paint dry.
With the pocket face down, cut the magnetic tape into one-inch strips and affix a magnet to each corner of the pocket (add a dab of tacky glue for an even stronger hold, if needed), and it's ready for hanging in a school locker.

We decorated last year for sectionals. It was a blast. We are also decorating for the junior high. We used art paper with spray paint to make banners for the hall and made a banner for each class with the jersey#'s or players name.The kids were really surprised.

You can buy any color paint just make sure it is safe to use in the school and you can also get glitter and crepe paper. We hung the crepe paper from the ceiling with balloons! Show the players you really appreciate them and all their hard work!
