Bulletin Board Decorations

Invest in the next generation of learners by creating a welcoming classroom environment. Bulletin board decorations help set the tone for the room while also allowing you to express your creative side as a teacher. From punch-out letters to motivational posters, Hobby Lobby is here to offer you a great selection all school year long!

Kick off a new semester by setting the tone with a base. Acrylic paint typically lasts all year long. Choose from our selection of vibrant and neutral colors. If you like to shake it up every month or so, use our bulletin board paper. It makes for easy clean-up and can be layered with patterned paper rolls. Finish the base by framing your background with border trim.

As you start to fill the center of the board with decorations, think of what will be most helpful for your students. Elementary students will enjoy a helpful number line, an alphabet poster, or cheerful animal cutouts. High school students enjoy having their hard work displayed. Complement it with some decorative cutouts for the perfect finish.

Create your own theme, or use one of our bulletin board sets. They come with all the bells and whistles, from themed cutouts to positive sayings. Match your room’s boho theme with rustic rainbow cutouts and pastel tassels. Or, complement your soft, retro, and groovy classroom decor with a trendy calendar set.

When it comes to standout classroom decor, Hobby Lobby has all the teacher supplies you need for an A+ classroom. Shop our wide selection that will give your decorative bulletin board an instant upgrade.

Can I paint a bulletin board?

Yes, you can paint both the cork and the frame of a bulletin board. Make sure to check that the cork is unwaxed, as the paint will run off otherwise. We recommend using acrylic paint, because it adheres well to cork and adds a vibrant touch.

To make a bulletin board, you need a backing, a sheet of cork, adhesive, and wall mounting hardware. The backing can be plywood, a foam board, or a similar material, depending on your project.

How do I decorate a bulletin board?

When decorating a bulletin board, the first step is to select the theme you want. Then, select a background, border, and decorations. We carry a variety of bulletin board decorations, like letter cutouts, paper awnings, and themed decoration sets.

How do I hang a bulletin board?

Command Strips are good for lighter-weight bulletin boards, while screws and other hanging hardware may be necessary for heavier boards.

Which Cricut machine should I use for bulletin board lettering?

We recommend larger models, like the Cricut Maker 4 or the Cricut Explore 4. They are compatible with a variety of materials, including wood, cardstock, and vinyl, and their size allows you to cut larger letters.
