Getting the Classroom Back to School Ready {student work display}

Tara West

Hey there!  This post has taken way too long to get posted so it’s not really a back to school idea…hopefully it will still be beneficial! 🙂  I wanted a way to cover my blank whiteboards for open house and back to school before I started utilizing the whiteboards so I made these dazzling little displays!  

I am not very crafty AT ALL so anything that I have to make must require very few steps lol!  Here is a list of the supplies I needed:

-Colored scrapbook paper
-Clothes pins
-Glitter
-Glue stick
-Glue gun
-Magnets {optional}

To start out I made the glittery clothes pins!  I used the glue sticks on one side to get the clothes pin sticky and then I simply dabbed the sticky clothes pins into the glitter..easy peasy!

Next, I added magnets to the back of each piece of scrapbook paper!  This isn’t necessary but I want to reuse these for more then one year so I thought magnets would help with that!


I then hot glued each clothes pin to the piece of scrapbook paper!


I’m sure you are all much better about finding the center but I stink at it so I used a ruler to make sure I didn’t get off 😉

And that’s that!  Super easy 🙂

Have a great day friends!!!
