My
oldest loves to tape papers to his wall which becomes a problem when the tape
doesn’t work so well and so he decided to use glue instead. I didn’t find this
out though until he switched to his own room and of course we had some
difficulty getting down some of the glued pictures. So we needed a solution and
I began looking up how to make a bulletin board. I found some great ideas
online using homasote board but when I went to Lowes and Home Depot I couldn’t
find it but instead found some hard insulation board – looks like a board made
of a Styrofoam cooler with silver on one side. Great news is that an 8ft by 4ft
board of insulation is 10 bucks compared to 30 for homasote. Not to mention
that Home Depot has a few different sizes so I made two bulletin boards that
were 4ft by 2ft (3 bucks + material) and one big daddy that was 8ft by 4ft. Check
out these super EASY instructions for

What a great idea. I was looking doe something going down the stairs at my house...
ReplyDeleteDid you hang the 8ft by 4ft board with Command Picture Hanging Strips made of Velcro? If so did the board stay up, and how many strips did you use? I'm thinking this will be a great homemade bulletin board for my classroom, but I have to be creative when hanging. I am hoping the command strips will work because I cannot put holes in the cinder block walls.
ReplyDeleteYes they are the command trips that Velcro together. On my 8 by 4 I nailed it in to the studs but on the 2 by 4 bulletin boards I used 4 command strips and they hold up really well. I don't think you would have any problem with the command strips holding an 8 by 4 bulletin board. It is really lightweight. You would probably want 8 or 10 of them.
DeleteMy first classroom had a cinder block wall and I had a hard time finding anything that would work on it- they didn't have command strips then though!
