Halloween is right around the corner and, if you haven't made any plans for classroom decor, we're excited to be able to feature some of the great bulletin board ideas that were submitted to our Halloween contest last year! Perhaps you'll be inspired by these colorful themed boards...

How amazing is this decorative board from Mandmevents?! The handmade elements are stunning and we love the use of three-dimensional props. If you haven't planned your Halloween decor, this design is sure to make a great addition to the classroom or hallway!

Spooktacular Story!

• Background: Black bulletin board paper.
• Title: "Spooktacular Story!"
• Border: We love the use of the Halloween themed "Beware" tape. It adds a nice three-dimensional aspect to the board. However, you could also use a Halloween themed bulletin board border.
• Decoration: 1) The Moonscape. Both the moon and the tree were hand-drawn and painted. If that seems a bit daunting, we recommend finding a clip art image of the moon to enlarge and print, as well as the image of a haunted fall tree that can be enlarged, traced onto black bulletin board paper, and highlighted/shaded with oil pastels. 2) The Spider Webs. Use store-bought decorative webs and plastic spiders for a fun three-dimensional look. 3) The Ghosts. Purchase ghost accents or find a ghost template online to print onto white card stock. Add student names to the ghost cutouts and arrange them around the board.
