Hang a Chinese Fan
There are two styles of Chinese fans, according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the oval fan and the folding fan. Folding fans depict painted scenes on paper. The paper is then folded and bamboo sticks are inserted at the folds for support. They can be up to 60 inches wide when fully opened and make an attractive wall decoration. Chinese fans are relatively light and can be hung using double-sided tape and a picture hook to secure the bottom. Does this Spark an idea?
Make a Paper Tree for the Wall
Trees make colorful decorations for classrooms or children's rooms, but if you don't have the time to take care of a live one or don't have the money, making a paper tree for the wall can add just as much color to a room. All you need is some paper, a few simple craft supplies, and a few friends to help you attach a finished paper tree to a wall.
Make a Sea Decoration for the Classroom
While wall and bulletin board decorations help brighten up the institutional look of classrooms, they can also be quite useful as visual aids to incorporate into lesson plans. Decorations depicting the sea can be used to display various species when studying marine life. Aside from lesson plans, ocean decorations can be used to welcome students to a new year or as a birthday reminder board.
Hang a Fan on the Wall
Folding wall fans are functional as well as decorative and come in a variety of materials including paper, fabric and canvas. The slats of the fans can be plastic, wood, metal or bamboo. No matter what kind of material makes up your fan, you can hang it from the wall using double-sided tape. This allows you to hang the fan without damaging the wall and move the fan to another spot if you change your mind. Does this Spark an idea?
