When creating a bulletin board, we take the appropriate picture and copy it to a transparency. Then taking the transparency and placing on an overhead projector, the picture can be shown on blank paper on the wall at an enlarged size. Tracing and filling in gives us nice looking custom decoration.

Creating attractive Bulletin Boards takes considerable time. These ideas have proved to be very helpful in storing and recycling bulletin boards for future use.

1. Keep an ample supply of pre-cut letters of various sizes stored in envelopes. A good variety of colors include: blue, red, orange, yellow, black, white.

2. After designing your bulletin board and hanging it, take a picture of the finished project.

3. When taking the bulletin board down, put letters in the appropriate supply envelope. Then put all the items you've taken down in a large manila envelope or folder with the picture you took of the completed bulletin board. Label the envelope and file it either by season or month used. Be sure to date it so you can keep track of your bulletin board use.

If you do one new bulletin board every other month and save them, after two years you will have 12 bulletin boards to choose from.
