How Do You Make School Locker Pockets From Blue Jean Pockets?
This is an easy project to do with a teenager. My granddaughter and I made them for her friends in high school. The jean pockets with a magnet on the back make a handy storage pocket for a school locker. Here’s how to make this easy craft. I cut hip pockets from my collection of blue jeans. I’d been saving them to make my son a blue jean quilt. We cut clear through the jeans to make an enclosed pocket. You can get old jeans at yard sales or the Goodwill Store. We glued magnetic strips to the back part of the jeans part of the pocket so they would stick to the inside door of school lockers. We decorated them to fit the person she was going to give them to. Pink bows and buttons were hot glued to the front for one girl. Seashells or small rocks to some for the boys. Paper clips, erasers and pencils were added to another one. Many jeans have logos on their pockets that make them special to start with. Small pads of paper, pens, rulers, whiteout and pencils were placed inside the pockets.
