Inspirational Classroom Decor
It’s Kris here and I am finally working on some inspirational classroom decor for my students. I had fun with this project and I hope that you do too!
I teach math and sometimes math can be hard and frustrating which can lead to negative attitudes in the classroom. I like the word passion. Teaching and crafting are 2 passions of mine. So I knew I wanted a quote on the wall with the word passion in there. So I browsed around looking for a good quote that really resonated with me and my teaching style.
I found this quote: “People with great passion can make the impossible happen” – Author Unknown. This quote really resonated with me. I’m passionate about teaching and I believe students learn best when their teacher is passionate about teaching.
I found the quote….now let’s head to the Printable Cuttable Creatables site and find some SVG files that we can use to create a fun poster for the classroom.
For this first poster, I used the files:
- Lil Crayons & Pencils Banners Set SVG Cut File & Clipart – for the crayons at the top
- School Supplies Free SVG Borders – for the open book
My original thought was to use foam poster board, but my local shop only had black and I didn’t want a black poster.
Not all was lost. My classroom is decorated with some gold and rose gold wire baskets, so when I found this white poster paper with a black and gold border, it was a perfect match for my classroom!
I then wanted a couple of words to pop from the rest, this is where I decided to use gold glitter cardstock along with a cool font called ‘Hello Honey’ – one of my favorites. The black text is in the font ‘Sitka Small’.
I love the way this poster turned out so much that I wanted to make another one. This time, I took inspiration from a poster pack that I had saved to my Amazon wish list a while back. For this poster I used the ruler from the Printable Cuttable Creatables file ‘School Supplies Free SVG Borders’ – it’s a free file and it’s amazing!! I made the ruler 16 inches long – which is longer than my cutting mat, so I needed to slice the image to be able to cut it on a 12×12 mat.
The last step I did was laminate the posters so that they could last a few years in my classroom!
I hope that this project brings you an inspiration to take your favorite quotes and use creative ways to display them around your home or classroom!
Thank you so much for joining me today!
