Just like the board title, we would use word processing software to print label banners using a fun font and cutesy border. 2) The Sun. While Mrs. Carroll used purchased cutouts {which is certainly a viable option if the proper size can be found}, you could also opt for a homemade version. Using yellow and orange liquid watercolor paints, paint a large sheet of watercolor paper, blending the colors till the entire sheet is colored. Set aside to dry. This will create the perfect paper from which to cut your sun. Freehand or find a clip art image online to enlarge and trace onto the paper, first using a pencil, then tracing over the lines with a black permanent marker. Use the marker to add other details if desired. [NOTE: If you have the proper projector system, you might even be able to enlarge and trace the sun image from Mrs. Carroll's original poster.] 3) The Cloud. Like the sun, use shades of blue and purple liquid watercolor paints on a large sheet of watercolor paper to create the perfect 'cloud' paper. Draw or trace the shape of a cloud, outlining the cutout with black permanent marker and adding other details {if desired}. From the scraps, or a newly created piece of paper, cut and outline various sized water\/rain drops. 4)The Waves. Create a wave cutout from card stock using it and a blue washable marker to create a wave border along the bottom of the display. Add swirls, curls, and other details to the waves with the marker as well. 5) The Arrows. Cut three large arrows from red construction or background paper. Once arranged on the board, use a permanent marker to draw a dashed border around each.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSupplies for this bulletin board...\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/p-6357-art-kraft0174-paper-rolls-white.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eWhite bulletin board paper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-232-watercolor-paint.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eLiquid watercolor paint\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-76-paper-for-crafts-poster-board.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eWatercolor paper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-231-markers-highlighters.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eBlack permanent marker\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/p-5995-sunworks0174-holiday-red-construction-paper-9-x-12.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eRed construction paper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.mpmschoolsupplies.com\/c-102-markers.aspx\" data-ad-id=\"post-content-link\"\u003eWashable Markers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhile simple, the detailing really makes this design pop!
