Creating Bulletin Boards
- 1. Creating Bulletin Boards EXPLORING THE MAGIC OF PAPER, SCISSORS, AND STAPLES
- 2. Background Material Options Butcher Block Paper (located in the Resource Room in Colonnades A) Wrapping Paper Newspaper Tissue Paper Fabric Anything else that is not super distracting and can be stapled down on the bulletin board neatly
- 3. Things to keep in mind Before stapling a background to the bulletin board, make sure all staples have been removed. It is easier to get a piece of paper that is a bit larger so you can cut it to fit within the bulletin board Measure the bulletin board before you go to get paper If you do this part neatly, you can reuse the background multiple times Sustainability is cool.

- 5. Border To make the bulletin board look crisp and eye catching, a border should be added to the bulletin board. There are borders in the Resource Room. You can also get creative with these! This is a way to cover up any little accidents that happened when putting the background on Please re-use or return used borders to the resource room if you want to change it up
- 7. Read all about it! The goal of the bulletin board is to help residents learn something. You can create an interactive board with your residents so they learn about each other You can base it on a theme for that month Think about what your residents need Do not use 8.5x11 sheets of paper- Rectangles become white noise. Get a pair of scissors and snip away! Putting flyers on the bulletin board does not count. Flyers are great, but they should be put up separately (please talk to your supervisor for specifics). Great Creative! We know you have got it in you!
