Rock Star Classroom Decor

This year I am decorating my room in the Rock Star Theme! It seems fun and I think it will definitely draw the kids in. Also, since I play the guitar, it works on that level as well.

I found this site that has great ideas for the theme:

I found some of the items she used at oriental trading company, so I put an order in there. I will be doing the Rock Star of the week and the kids bios to hang up for back to school night.

I went to Hancock Fabrics and Michael's and scored on some great items for my classroom decor! The fabric was on clearance for $1 a yard and the ribbon was all on sale for between $1 and $1.99. The cute guitars are push pins that were $1.99. I am going with neon green, blue, and pink colors that coordinate with the baskets and desktop items I got in the dollar section at Target. The solid colors are to cover my bulletin boards and the pattern is for a curtain and to recover the cushion on my rocking chair (that now is getting very thread bare!)

I love the ribbon that says Rock Star! I also got from Michael's an ID holder that has VIP on it with stars. We use a program called First in Math at our school and there is a player of the day. I am going to use the VIP ID holder for that next year.

I also ordered the Rock star bulletin board set from Carson-Dellosa that you can find here:

Here is the curtain I made:

So super easy to make! I cut down the center of two yards of fabric (my window is 48 inches wide). Hemmed the two ends and bottom, then folded down the top 4 inches and sewed the bottom of that to leave a large enough hole for the curtain rod. Then I just used fabric glue to attach the ribbon. Took me half and hour tops.


I found great graphics from http://www.thistlegirldesigns.com/ to use!




I bought the Kiddie Pop graphics and am using them for decor and on my school web page. I've already had some other teachers at my school comment on how cute my new web page looks with her graphics.
