No Sew Locker Organizing Pocket


This No Sew Pocket is a must have for any student this school year. It is also great for moms to start getting organized around the house. The best part is, you probably have most of the materials laying around the house! Let's get started...


Supplies: 
- cardboard ( mine measures 4"x4.5")
- scrap material
- duct tape
-scissors
- magnet 
- hot glue gun ( this is optional if you have magnets with tape on one side)







Step 1:
Wrap the cardboard piece with duct tape to add a little strength. 
 
Step 2:
Wrap the duct taped cardboard piece in a little of the scrap material. ( you can omit this step if you have some of that pretty duct tape) 

 
 
Step 3:
Fold the bottom of extra material over the bottom of the cardboard.  Secure with more duct tape.

Step 4:
Fold the top of the material over to create a "hem".  Secure with duct tape.  (See both pictures)

Step 5:
Loosely fold over each side and secure them with duct tape.  I folded the sides at a slight angel to make sure the pocket will open wide enough.









                                              Your locker pocket should look like this!

Almost Done...


Step 6:
Glue or tape the magnet to the back of the pocket. Flip it over... and there it is!  Your very own, home-made, magnetic locker organizing pocket!  If using a glue gun, wait until gun dries before flipping it over.

 
 
 
 Since I don't have a locker, I've used mine to hold my dry erase markers next to my white board calendar.  Now I won't have to dig through my "junk" draw to find them!  Your turn! Let me know how your no-sew project turned out... and don't forget, have fun!

Finished product!
