Wall Decorations Borders are very helpful

For all our teachers functions, we have covered the walls with Butcher Paper and then added our decorations on top.  We have found that if you put one sheet up and duct tape it, then the other sheet up and cover the last row of duct tape with the paper and duct tape, it stays very well.  We deal with the AC/Heating being turned off, and of coarse the lovely Texas humidity.  All of which pull our paper down to the ground ripping our decorations.  Taping each sheet has been a lesson well learned.

We only had one problem.  We put 3 sheet up.  The last sheet we rolled the tape behind the paper so it wouldn't show.  Well the third sheet would full between decorating the night before and the mornings event.

Last year when we had Teachers Appreciation Week, we were able to borrow Film Decorations from After Prom.  We used this as a board at the top.  This allowed us to tape all sheets to the wall with a nonstop line of duct tape.  It held for more than a week.  Now the film being wrinkled up and foil, came down, but never had the destruction of all our decorations on the ground.

As we are working on our decorations for this years Teachers Appreciation Week, theme the 50's, we needed a border again.  So excited to have a Record Border.  Made a circle Template and template for the inside circle, and the poke a dot paint foam brush for the center.  They were drawn out on Butcher Paper.
