One of the things that I hate every. single. year. is putting bulletin board paper up! It never fits properly and trying to line the various pieces of paper up is so frustrating as well!
I tried many different solutions over the years. I tried sheets, I tried fabric, I tried shower curtains.
Finally, I had an idea!
PAINT
(Cue hallelujah chorus music)
I decided to paint my bulletin board with a pretty universal color that would show up in most borders or could transform into a specific background if need be. (I recommend a blue!)
I got a quart of pain and a roller and I went to town!
It's great! It doesn't need to be replaced, it doesn't fade in the over time, and it can be reused over and over again!
I am moving into a new classroom where the bulletin boards have already been painted (brilliant idea by the way!). However, one is a pepto bismal pink and the other is black. I would like to use lighter blue or greenish colors. I am guessing I am going to have to prime them first. What type of paint did you use?
ReplyDeleteI just painted mine black. It looks so sharp and clean. The black helps to make student work pop!
