Making bulletin boards can be very time consuming, that’s why I’m indroducing you to instant bulletin boards. If you don’t like cutting out letters and sticking them on bulletin boards, you don’t have to bother with it. The fastest way to put up bulletin boards as quickly as possible, is to use themed party backdrops or school event photo backdrops, as complete bulletin boards. They are ideal for welcome bulletin boards for back to school, or for classroom theme decorations.

I would recommend the polyester backdrops that have a large welcome text heading and images of classroom elements on it. Turning a backdrop into a bulletin board is also cheaper than making a bulletin board from scratch.
