JoAnn's Teacher Craftivity Blog Hop

I am always looking for an excuse to use fabric on something!

 Anyone else?!?!?

I love, love, love Jo-Ann fabric!  I am coming from a classroom that had SIX bulletin boards to a classroom that only has ONE bulletin board.  I am still trying to find a solution to this predicament. 

Hence my project---

I need a board for my spelling words/word work!  I saw these ADORABLE scrabble letters at Jo-Ann.

These are not your typical Scrabble letters, these are HUGE, like two or three inches.  My kids will go gah-gah over them!

Y'all to make this board I used two tools:

1. Scissors

2. My trusty Hot Glue Gun

My Jo-Ann Materials:

- 1 yard of Fabric

-Bulletin Board

-Ribbon

-Bin of Scrabble Letters

-Chipboard Stickers

- 2 Sheets of Cardstock

*I am sure there are MUCH more professional ways to do this, but I like simple. easy, and effective.

*First I cut and hot-glued my gray fabric to the board.

*I then used my black ribbon to cover up all the rough edges and add a border.

*I would love to tell you that I used a snazzy paper cutter to cut perfect triangles, but really I just eyeballed them.  

*I added the chipboard letters and stuck them on the teal triangles. 

*Last but not least I glued the triangles on to look like a banner.

I also threw together this cute little recording sheet for when my students use this interactive board/center.
