For the cutest tie dye room additions, here are some ideas!
Paper Lanterns: The cutest ceiling decor!
Paper lanterns are the perfect way to bring color from the floor to the ceiling! I love adding these throughout the room or bunched in the corner as a pop of personality. You can also add LED lights on the inside for extra pizzaz!
Streamers
Well, this one depends on the age group, but I firmly believe some fun door streamers bring joy into the classroom! These don’t only have to be used at the door. You can use these as wall decorations or cut them short to use as a skirt around your desk.
Tie Dye Rug
Rugs are absolutely a must. They bring a cozy, homey feel to the room instead of those white floors that reach to the white walls and white ceilings. These are a great addition to reading areas, the front of the classroom, or around your desk.
Lastly, the details!
Creating the perfect classroom aesthetic means taking care of everything down to the details. This means the small things like student welcome baggies, table set up, and desks. Here are some ideas!
Tie Dye Table Cover
These are perfect for welcome tables and computer desks. You can also use table covers as background material for your bulletin boards!
Bulletin Board Border
This border is double-sided with tie-dye and groovy designs. Bulletin boards are a must-have for any classroom, and thankfully they can be used for years! Grab yours!
Slap Bracelets
Slap bracelets are a true classic and the perfect addition to a goodie bag for new students. They can also be used in the treasure box during the school year!
Tie Dye Pencils
These are also the perfect addition to goodie bags and treasure boxes! Plus, you can never have enough pencils in the classroom, am I right?!
Now you have everything you need for the perfect tie dye classroom! Have fun and experiment with even more decor! Themes can be so exciting to put together and really create the perfect atmosphere in your room!
