Start the school year by welcoming your new students back-to-school for a year full of learning with this colorful and captivating Hello Sunshine Welcome Bulletin Board! Bursting poms and tassels in hues of every shade of the rainbow will add vibrancy to any drab hallway or classroom bulletin board. With easy assembly and no cutting, you can focus your extra time on preparing your activities and lessons for the first day of school.

Begin by covering your board with this 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.

Next, add the garland to the top of the bulletin board. The garland is an easy way to add another element of design to your board. First, center the burlap pennants. Then, swag a line of jute twine on each side so that they meet in the center of the board. Staple the Hello Sunshine Tassel Bulletin Board Cutouts along the jute twine, making sure to rotate them a bit as you staple.

Now, alternate the Hello Sunshine Welcome Bulletin Board letters so that they tilt left and right. Overlap them just a bit. Pro Tip: Begin in the center of the board with the letter "C," and work your way out to the edges of the board. This way the letters will be perfectly centered on the bulletin board.

Place the Just Teach Alphabet Cards above the bulletin board. Begin in the center of the board with the letters "M" and "N." Space the cards about an inch apart. Now, work your way out from the center to ensure that they alphabet posters are completely centered above your bulletin board.

Last, organize classroom shelves using Medium Galvanized Metal Pails, Hello Sunshine Name Tags, Black Book Organizers and black cubbies. The galvanized pails are perfect for holding any classroom supplies, but I especially love how they look holding a rainbow of colored pencils. The book organizers and cubbies can be used as student book bins, classroom library book boxes, or supply tubs. Simply add your own wording to each label. Pro Tip: For uniformity, print on clear address labels and place them over the blank space on the Hello Sunshine Name Tags.
