Cut several lime green ovals to place at the top of the pots. Use a silver paint pen to create the illusion that the witch's brew is 'swirling'. Freehand, trace, or print labels for each cauldron {these will depend on what type of board you're creating}, outlining them with the same silver paint pen to help them blend in with the 'brew'. From the same lime green paper, cut different size 'bubbles' as well as several smoke curls to place around the top of each pot. Next, focus on the bottom of each cauldron, creating logs with brown construction paper and brown markers, then flames using orange, red, and yellow construction paper or card stock.\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/cdn.tristro.net\/uploads\/ideas\/post\/IMG_3299_Resized.jpg\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1107\" title=\"IMG_3299_Resized\" src=\"\/\/supplyme-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/post\/IMG_3299_Resized.jpg\" alt=\"witch's brew cauldron bulletin board idea\" data-pin-hover=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e2) The Spooky Creatures.

First of all, I just want to highlight how perfect Michelle's spider web is. Isn't it amazing?! I need to ask her how she made it, but if we were tackling this bulletin board, here are a few ways we might go about recreating the web. (A) Find a clip art image online, use your classroom projector system to enlarge the design, then trace it in pencil onto the background paper. To finish, trace over the pencil lines with a white paint pen. (B) Follow the same steps above, but instead of tracing the pencil lines with a paint pen, use craft glue to glue white yarn to the design. This offers a more three-dimensional look which could be cool and a bit more 'realistic' looking. 2) The Book Covers. Make color copies of the physical book covers you intend to display, print colored pictures of the covers using images found online, or display collect actual book covers to display. If using a copy or print of the cover, we recommend laminating them to reduce fading as well as wear and tear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SupplyMe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1734192168985,"sku":"A1482","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/products\/web-october.jpg?v=1522782221"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1418\/0968\/collections\/Scare-Up-A-Good-Book.jpg?v=1530027914","url":"https:\/\/www.supplyme.com\/collections\/middle-school-library-bulletin-board-ideas\/subject-language-arts.oembed","provider":"SupplyMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
