Cut a long strip of white bulletin board paper to attach along the bottom of the bulletin board. Once again, decorate as desired. 2) The Ice Cream Shack Sign. Cut a long, narrow rectangle from your choice of colored background paper. We decided to use white, adding a fun border to make it stand out, then added the first part of the title in a fun, loopy font. Attach this above the bulletin board. 3) The Windows. Cut two large squares from white bulletin board paper, using markers to add detailing. Use word processing software to create a sign or script \"Order Here\" and \"Pick-Up Here\" to the top of the windows. Mount these to the board - the \"order\" window on the left, the \"pick-up\" window on the right. 4) The Flavor Menu. Cut a large rectangle from white bulletin board paper {or another color of your choice}, using markers or craft paint to create a border. Use word processing software to create a sign or script the second part of the title \"The New Fall FLAVORS\" at the top. Using your student roster, create fun ice cream flavors from your kiddos names {i.e. Eddie's English Toffee Crunch}.

Several days before the actual photo shoot is to begin, assign each of the participating students with a shirt color to wear on the day of picture (red or white) and send a note home to parents to get them in the loop.

You could use paint to create these as well, add construction paper stars, or even purchase star bulletin board accents. 2) The American Flag\/United States Cutout. It may seem a little tricky, but here's how we would tackle the shape. First, we'd use red, white, and royal blue bulletin board paper to create a regular American flag cutout in the appropriate size. Then, using a projector system and a map of the United States, we'd enlarge the map and trace it directly onto the flag cutout, using black permanent marker to darken the outline of the shape. 3) The Liberty Bell. You might be able to find a large bell as part of a bulletin board set, but we suggest simply finding a clip art image online and using your classroom projector system to enlarge and trace the image onto brow and gray bulletin board paper. A black permanent marker will go a long way for adding the detailing - i.e. wood grain, the crack in the bell, etc. - and some medium-dark gray paint will work to accentuate some of the features on the bell.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1734187221017,"sku":"A1717","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/products\/Let-Freedom-Ring.jpg?v=1522782191"},{"product_id":"patriotic-symbols-independence-day-bulletin-board-a1718","title":"Patriotic Symbols! - Independence Day Bulletin Board","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7414\" alt=\"Patriotic Bulletin Board Idea\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/Patriotic-Symbols.jpg\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003eThe busy summer months do not always allow time for decorating, but if you're looking for a simple way to add a little patriotic fun to your walls as well as a provide a deeper social studies connection to the upcoming holiday, you might consider putting together a display of patriotic symbols to compliment your Independence Day learning plans!

To complete the 'oceanscape', cut fluffy cloud shapes from white construction paper and arrange them in the sky. 2) The Plam Trees. Seriously, we can't get over these palm trees! Cut the trunk shapes from brown bulletin board paper, then cut lots of large palm fronds from green bulletin board paper - i.e. a long leaf shape with fringed edges. When creating the tree, arrange the fronds around a central point (like you would a flower), twisting and tucking the branches in order to create the illusion that it is a three-dimensional palm tree. Michelle writes, \"for the palm trees, the leaves are cut and hot glued until they look decent!\" 3) The Hammock. Use a small piece of netting to create the hammock, draping it between the two trees and stapling it in place. 4) The Character.

We're not entirely certain how Lisa created her taffy, but if it were up to us, here's how we'd go about creating our own version. Lightly crunch scrap tissue paper gluing several pieces of the scrunched tissue to a dessert-sized paper plate in order to give it dimension. Once this is done, wrap the entire plate with a piece of colored tissue paper to create the taffy candy. To create the candy wrapping, you could a) wrap the plate with clear cellophane, gathering and securing the ends with a rubber band or ribbon, for an authentic 'wrapped candy' look, or b) simply cut pieces of card stock to look like the scrunched candy wrapping and glue them to the sides of the plate. 3) The Ocean Accents. To complete the board, Lisa added a dolphin cutout.
