Christmas Borders (6 styles) | Classroom Display Borders
Red and green, right around the room.
Print, cut along the black lines and butt the strips end to end. The colours carry on from one strip to the next, so the border runs unbroken along a display board, a door or the whiteboard. Six styles to mix and match, from plain scallops to nine cheeky Santa-hat faces. Perfect for a Christmas display board, the classroom door, or framing the last weeks of work for the year.
What's included:
- Read Me First page: printing, cutting and putting them up
- Scalloped borders: a red and green set, plus pine, holly, leaf, red and blush on their own
- Christmas Cloud border: a red to green gradient under white scallops
- Chequer and Lattice borders in red and green
- Dots borders in pine, holly, leaf, red and blush
- Santa Hat Faces borders: nine smiley faces on five colours
- Terms of Use
How it works:
- Print on A4 at 100% (Actual Size). Each page has three strips, 6.4 cm tall.
- Cut along the black lines. For Scalloped, cut round the top of each arch.
- Butt the strips end to end around your board or door.
- Mix the sets: a single colour along the top with Santa Hat Faces down the sides works well!
Why teachers love it:
- One page makes about 84 cm of border, so a whole board takes only a few pages
- Six styles in one palette, so everything matches however you mix it
- Nine different Santa-hat faces for children to spot
- Print on card and laminate, and the strips come out again next year
Year levels: Suits Prep to Year 6.
Christmas comes down in January. The decor set stays up all year.
