Step 1

Cover bulletin board with White Subway Tile Fadeless® Designs Paper. To do this, first cut enough paper to cover the board. Find the center of the paper you’ve cut. Roll in edges in and secure at the bottom of the rolls with binder clips. Start securing the paper to the board by stapling at the top center. Roll the paper out to the left, stapling as you go. Roll out the remainder of the paper to the right stapling across the top. Then staple down the sides and bottom, smoothing the paper as you go along. Cut off excess paper around edges. (For our “How to” video go to: youtu.be/0BW84xgH3fo). Then attach Lime Bordette® around edges. Layer Black Bordette® on top of that.

Step 2

Next prepare bulletin board jar components. First download and enlarge jar templates 200%. Or if using a Cricut go to our free link at: bit.ly/36OXRDC. Or use Cricut font, BFC Jolly Santa* at 2-1/2". Cut jar shapes from White Tru-Ray® Construction Paper, letters from Black Pacon® Card Stock, jar labels from Gold UCreate® Metallic Poster Board and jar tops (1-1/2" high) from Black Bordette®. Assemble jar components.

* Cricut charges may apply.

Step 3

Then taking a chalk marker hand write your “Recipe for Success” on UCreate® Premium Chalkboard Poster Board. Cut one Creativity Street® Natural Wood Dowel to 28". Hot glue to the top of the sign and hang on the right side of your bulletin board.

Step 4

Final steps, download and enlarge planter shapes 200%. Cut from Black Pacon® Card Stock and Wicker Fadeless® Designs Paper.
