Use
two 18 in. x 12 in. floral foam boards (Wal
Mart). Cut them in half length wise. You will have four 18 in x 6 in. pieces
but I only needed three of them to go across the top of the bulletin board.
Run a
piece of floral wire or zip tie all the
way through to make hangers
on each end of the foam.

These
T pins (from Wal Mart
in the sewing section) make great hangers. Angle the pin a little downward as
you push it into the top of the bulletin board and hang the foam when you’re
finished.

Use a
paper cutter to cut lots of Astrobrights
cardstock into 1 inch strips.

Fold
and staple 3 or 4 strips of cardstock together. Staple to the bulletin board. Add some twisted chenille stems and a pretty border to cover the staples.
Try to curl some of the pieces upward for more of a 3D effect. Easy peezy!!

This
looks great on a black background. I cut a black flat sheet to fit my board.
I’m hoping it won’t fade as quickly as paper.

You
can keep it up all year and just change the wording on your board!!
