At my school I have 1 bulletin board in my classroom and I use that for birthdays and to display student work so I needed to find a creative way to put up a CAFE menu. So I found cork trivets at IKEA and used those to make a bulletin board. I painted them (with the help of my 9 year old niece) and I love how it came out. Here’s how it came out!!!
Thank you. I attached them to the wall–it is a magnetic wall but the magnitism is not strong. So I used foam mounting squares and they are staying well. We often have issues with things falling off of our walls but these are holding.
What a great idea! This has inspired me for another idea for a CAFE board! You could paint your trivets with chalkboard or whiteboard paint so teacher and students could write/draw on them and it would be any easy to write on and also change from from year to year.
That is a great idea, I don’t know how well you could write though because they aren’t super hard like a chalkboard. But you could do it with just boards (I bought round wooden boards from Michaels a couple years ago to make chalkboards).
