As you prepare for the first day of school, create a warm and inviting atmosphere by wishing your little learners a happy birthday with this Hello Sunshine Birthday Bulletin Board. Unlike adults, children look forward to this special day. Every birthday is filled with excitement and wonder. This bright and cheerful display is the perfect way to recognize students' birthdays and make them feel welcome!
Begin by covering your board with Pacon® Fadeless® Paper Art Roll in white. Simply staple along the outer edge, and then trim off any excess paper. Now, you can add your border. To create the layered look, you will want to measure in 1.5 inches from the edge of the bulletin board. Line the Hello Sunshine Rainbow Bulletin Board Borders along the measured edge. Then, line the Hello Sunshine Poms Bulletin Board Borders along the edge of the bulletin board.
Center your title at the top of the board, and finish the look with Hello Sunshine Tassel Bulletin Board Cutouts on each end. Each Hello Sunshine Birthday Mini Bulletin Board Set includes monthly cake cutouts, a variety of birthday banners, rainbows, unicorns, and balloons so that you can customize and embelish your board to fit your style.
Next, cut 12 eight inch strips of Black Single Faced Satin Ribbon. Tape the black ribbon to the back of each cake, and notch the end of the ribbon. Pro Tip: To make sure the ribbon is the same length on each cake, stack the cakes on top of each other and trim the ribbons.
Now, evenly distribute the cakes horizontally across the board. Begin with the cake(s) that will be in the center of the board, and then work your way to the outer edges. Add students' names by clipping them to the ribbon with clothespins. Pro Tip: To help ensure that the cakes are hung straight, use a level to draw a faint line horizontally across the board.
Last, complete the look of your display with a rainbow of colored pencils placed inside Medium Galvanized Metal Pails. These colored pencils in hues of every shade of the rainbow add another layer of dimension and create a focal point. Plus, this classpack contains enough colored pencils to supply your whole classroom.
