Teaching Thursday: Back to School Bulletin Boards
By Candie Cooper - To see more projects by Candie visit her blog Candie Cooper's Journal

  


The notebooks are being bought and the pencils sharpened. It's back to school time! Here's a fun bulletin board project to make with your kids or as a treat for your favorite teacher.
 
 

You will need Folk Art Paints in your favorite colors, stencil spouncers, paint brushes, ribbon and button embellishments and cork boards (owl and dog are from Target).
 
 
Base coat the board in desired color(s).  
 
 

Spouncers make the perfect polka-dots. Especially on this owl's belly!
 
 

Use a tiny paint brush to paint the beak and stripes around the eyes. Use thick tacky glue to adhere the buttons.
 
 

Ta-da! Use Extreme Glitter to add a touch of sparkle like I did for the dog bulletin board. Before I forget, it's a good idea to spray a coat of varnish to protect the paint before using.
 
 

For the dog, I painted the glitter directly onto the cork (no base coating!) and added a ribbon collar and button dog tag. The boards are light enough, you could add a few magnets and stick them in a locker.
 
 

This little fella is ready for my mom's office at school. She's going to love his orange and black school spirit!
