How to build a Bulletin board



                                                 7 Steps on how to Build a Bulletin Board

  1.  Build the Board :
 Cork board is the most common material for building a bulletin board. However sometimes it        can be very expensive so a Bristol board can be a very good substitute. Before actually building the bulletin board you have to test it by pinning a few papers on it . 


    2.    Fit the board into a Frame : 

The frame won't be viable after the project is done, yet is it for providing a little protection . 
   
    3.   Batting :
The batting is for softer touch and allows it to have a three-dimentional designs. You can apply the batting with her glue.

    4.   Ironing the piece of fabric : 
Pick out a bigger piece of fabric that is bigger than the board by 4 to 6 inches from each side. Iron this piece of iron until its completely flat.

    5.   Covering the board :
Cover the whole board with this piece of fabric while the board is facing down . Do the same technique you did with the batting (try avoiding wrinkles). 

   6.   Decoration : 
  • Criss-cross ribbon look  
  • Color decoration 
  • Laminated decorations 
  • Add index cards or blank paper to write notes on the
      7.    Hang the board : 
You can either hang the board by screwing the board to the wall, by wall mounting squares, or hang by a hook or nail. 


Having a Bulletin Board where you live or where you do you homework is really helpful to remind you what you have to do next . I encourage you to give building a Bulletin board a try and see how helpful it is.

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

  The Danger of a Single Story       This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities.      Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story  isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

The Surprising Science of Happiness | Dan Gilbert

  "Turns out that freedom, the ability to make up and change your mind, is the friend of natural happiness"      Dan Gilbert talks about happiness as it comes with making choices. Making choices doesn't literally mean having to choose, but he explains it in a way that is interpreted by having to live on with something that was manipulated and chosen for you, or something that you were able to contemplate whether or not you want it. He later on speaks about an experiment that was done on Harvard photography students. Some of these students were given the choice to take home one of their photographs and not look back at the other one. Whereas the other half, were given a reversible option in which they had the option to go back and change which one they can go home with.      In my opinion, that actually does make sense. In a way, that is why some people are indecisive and find making any decision extremely hard since they always find a possibility of ha...
