You know how they say that "necessity is the mother of invention?" Well, that was definitely the case when I was faced with a super narrow bulletin board in the classroom. I was perplexed about how to use the space. Then, I remembered how much I love displaying motivational quotes in the classroom and the idea of the stackable poster was born. I decided to create a long, narrow poster with an inspirational quote.
Then...I couldn't stop creating them! Seriously...it's becoming an obsession! That's actually a good thing for you, because I have a bunch that you can download for FREE!
They're super simple to install. First, just cut out each of the poster strips. (I've provided gray lines for you to cut along.)
Next, lay out the poster on a table or floor (be sure to add a little space between each poster strip). Measure the assembled poster to make sure that it will fit where you want to display it. The poster measures approximately 43 inches long and 10 1/2 inches wide when it is assembled.
Then, begin stapling or taping the poster up on a wall, door, or bulletin board. I made a spacer template to that I could make sure that the poster edges lined up.
I created a tiny sliver of a piece of paper to serve as the spacer guide for each strip of the poster, too.
Then, I realized that I could also turn the strips over and tape the poster together on the floor first, and then hang it up. Either way...the assembly process is quick and easy!
Once the first poster was hung on the bulletin board and I saw how modern and fun it looked, I went a little "stackable-poster-crazy" and made a bunch of them!
The coolest part is that you can display them in so many places!
You can even attach a string to the top and hang it around your classroom.
