For those of you who are collectors and pack rats like me, and enjoy creative crafts, here is an ongoing bulletin board idea.

I save music and seasonal pictures from newspapers, magazines, flyers, catalogs, anywhere. I organize them by theme or style in folders, and I make thematic collages on 22" x 28" oak tag. Sometimes I'll add text explaining the theme.

I have ready-made bulletin boards for every month, every season, and lots of subjects, such as:

  • Musicals
  • Dance
  • Cartoons
  • Children making music
  • Music in advertising
  • Music past and future
  • Music as graphic design
  • Conductors at work
  • Scores

It's a relaxing, fun project each summer. I have beautiful posters galore.
