Back to School.. 5 Classroom Decoration Tips

ART11-R
Hi all! It's getting to be that time again - back to school. Summer sure goes by too quickly doesn't it?? Well, we here at Wall Decor Plus More, would like to help out the teachers who are thinking about redecorating their classrooms and looking for ways to motivate their students.

1. Wall decals are always a great way to go. Not only do they look like paint but they'll stay on for the whole school year!  An extra bonus, Wall Decals from Wall Decor Plus More will not harm the surface - you can pull them off at the end of the year without any harm to the paint.

2. Try one of these 36 ideas for decorations, like making a pom-pom tree for a woodland-theme reading area! You can use this Tree Wall Decal as your base.
Check out how to make this tree here!
3. Go with a theme! It might be a little more work to make everything coordinate, but in the long run your students will appreciate it! Make it Hollywood glamorous, Wild in the Jungle,
or decorate simply with 2 colors throughout the room!


4. Now, I'm not a teacher, but I thought these tips for better classroom organization were quite helpful, and also pretty inexpensive!


5. Last, but not least, create a place that your students will love coming back to every day. Use humor, use hands-on activities or even throw a party to connect with your pupils!
Wall Decor Plus More has many patterned Wall Decals for the younger student rooms - who doesn't LOVE polka dots?

Here is how Wall Decor Plus More came about!

Would you like to know how we ever got started in the Wall Sticker business? 

Making letters for my Mom's classroom is how it all began!  After helping her trace and cut out letters for her Bible text each year, I was on the lookout for a better option.  About that time, craft cutters were making their beginning.  After we bought one on Black Friday, we found out how much FUN they were and things took off from there.  We now have 3 large vinyl cutters in operation.  We have 3 stay-at-home moms that help out along with 3 gals that work here with us.

It was been a wonderful 3 and half years and our Wall Decor Plus More business has been a great blessing to our family!  It has allowed me, as a mother of 5 children, to be home (we operate out of our basement with a play area close by).  With the added income, my husband was able to quit trucking for a 7-5 job in the first year of business.  This last year he also cut back to a part-time job; since he had expanded with more livestock on our place (and I no longer have time to help with chores!). 

But above all, we must continue to ask the Lord's blessing on our labors; as that is where all our help lies.

Deut. 9:17-18  "And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.  But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth power to get wealth, That He may establish His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day"
