Let It Snow
This is just a generic winter bulletin
board, basically for decoration
and a change from what had been on this board for two or three
months. I used light blue butcher paper on the top half of the
board, and I
covered the bottom part (just whatever the blue was not wide
enough to
cover) with white paper cut in wavy lines to look like snow
drifts, and
put my icicle border around it. I did the title in white
letters: "Let
it snow, let it snow, let it snow."
The other decorations use recycled
CD's. I made two snowmen, using a CD for the body and
construction paper heads with the faces drawn on and hats. I
found old buttons, beads, scrap flannel and felt and used them
for accessories. Next
to an igloo I put a little "eskimo" made of CDs - I
drew a face on
construction paper and glued it to one CD so that the edge of
the CD
frames the face like fur lining on a parka. I cut out mittens
and boots
and hot glued them to the second CD which I put on the board
under the
head. As a final touch, I stapled some large crocheted
snowflakes
(Christmas presents from a student one year) on top of CDs and
on
another I hot glued a paper snowflake I had cut out. The CD's
are all
hot glued to the butcher paper.
