Supplies for Classroom Decor Sign VINYL

• Clipboard
• VINYL colors for the SVG (Use colors to match your classroom decor theme)

If you are using vinyl instead of the PDF as a printable sheet, simply cut out the layers of colors and attached them to a clipboard. If it were me, I would get a smooth plastic clipboard and add the teacher’s design that way.

However, if you want to use HTV (Heat Transfer Vinyl), I would look for a wooden, pressed chipboard or cork clipboard. You could also repurpose a frame. So many creative ideas. See the list below in this blog post for more ways to use this free Classroom SVG -– there are lots of options, and I’m sure you’ll be inspired.

I want to show you a few creative ways to help you decorate your classroom door and entry space. This design is created with a bright color pallet in the traditional school color themes. But you can sure edit the design and use vinyl to cut this design. I will show you how to turn it into a changeable sign using our free Home Sweet Classroom Free printable.

Steps for creating the Printable Teacher Sign

Start by measuring your clipboard or frame and print out the Home Sweet Classroom using paper. .

As you trim this printed Teacher SVG, keep in mind you’ll need a little extra space on top for the clip and leave the bottom part of the clipboard if you want to add a name like in the example.

Once the paper is trimmed to fit, simply add it to the clipboard. You can get creative and add a WELCOME sign to the clipboard, so if the paper is removed, the board I not blank.

Next would be to add the Teacher Name or Grade to the sign. I would do this in sticky vinyl for the plastic clipboard or HTV don’t he chipboard type. This is great.
