Is that not one of the ugliest bulletin boards you have even seen? This was a trash pick from 4 months ago and it actually says "Trash Please" on the back! It smelled of smoke, has that terrible stain, and was in, over all, bad shape. I thought, "I could use a bulletin board for my classroom, I'll take it home." It has been sitting for months in the garage, so thankfully the smell is gone.
Next, I pulled out my scrapbooking supplies and found some really cute and brightly colored 12 x 12 paper that was probably 5-6 years old. I arranged 12 pieces and stapled them down and had a great new cover for my board. I found a cute border in the education section at Joann Fabrics for $1.60 and added that around the ugly edge. My sweet boys stood on my desk while I hammered the nails in, and....
There you have it a brightly colored, fun bulletin board for my classroom that was FREE and only took about 15-20 minutes to redo! I took someone else's trash and made into something useful and beautiful for us. Now I am excited to put stuff on it! (Don't mind my messy desk). What do you think?
