Festive Christmas Bulletin Board Ideas
A great way to create a vibrant, celebratory vibe for the holidays is to add a twist to classic seasonal decor. With this theme, I wanted to keep it rooted in traditional holiday colors and features while still making it modern and unique. So, I added blue, yellow, and pale pink to the classic Christmas color palette, complimented by designs with a whimsical feel. And the result is so bright and upbeat!
This design incorporates multiple patterns, like polka dots and stripes, to create a fun, fresh look. Like the polka dot border shown here along with the striped pennants. While we’re talking about borders, here’s a great decorating tip.
I love double layering my bulletin board borders, and here’s why. The outer window pane border I paired with this design is neutral, and can go with almost any decor I decide to decorate with for the year. So I can leave that border in place for months without having to change it! But the inner border, which is included with this Festive Christmas bulletin board kit, is super easy to change out with each theme. I love having a border that’s specific to the design to bring it all together. So double layering your borders is a great way to achieve this look without having to change your outer borders very often!
Another easy way to freshen up your bulletin boards is to change the sayings you display. Wouldn’t it be amazing to have a full alphabet of letters to choose from, in multiple complimentary styles, that you could use to just swap out from time to time? Well, here’s the solution! With A-Z Bulletin Board Letter sets, you can do exactly that! I’ve been creating these sets for several months now, and I’m absolutely loving the versatility they bring. You can mix-n-match styles or just switch from one style to another whenever you want a fresh look. So easy!
Festive Christmas Classroom Posters
For anyone who wants truly print-and-go decor, classroom posters are for you! No cutting or trimming involved. This is a popular option among middle school and high school teachers, but obviously works great with any grade level! This is another design situation where you can easily swap out your inner border (when double layering) to match the poster designs. And it completely changes the look of the bulletin board with minimal effort. And this Festive Christmas Classroom Posters set includes two border options to choose from, along with 8 unique posters!
Door Decorating for Christmas
One of my favorite things about walking school hallways during the holiday season is seeing all of the creative classroom door decorations! Door decorating is the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit! And adding your students’ names to the display is a great way to welcome them in! For example, in this Festive Christmas Door Decor Kit, there are text editable circles included for student names. You can even create your own sayings on the signs in this kit! Decorating your door doesn’t have to be super time consuming. Just throw up some cute banners, a festive sign, and some seasonal decor to make it standout for the season!
