Tips & Warnings
Make part of the bulletin board a memo board by applying ribbon into which pictures and cards can be inserted. You do this by attaching ribbon diagonally along the bulletin board. Apply the ribbon first diagonally going one way, and then diagonally going the opposite way. Place colorful tacks along each ribbon strand at 6-inch intervals.
