Wall newspaper design ideas for Teacher's Day
There are many options for how you can decorate a wall newspaper for Teacher’s Day in an original way using a simple Whatman paper and your own imagination. Ideas might be:
- Glue your photos and draw a line next to each one, like in a comic book. You can add clippings from magazines and newspapers.
- If congratulations are addressed to subject teachers, decorate the poster with thematic drawings: a globe, formulas, an encyclopedia, works of the classics.
- A wall newspaper does not have to be in the form of a rectangular sheet. You can design it in the form of a school building, a large bell, an owl as a symbol of wisdom, or an autumn leaf.
- Each student draws his own drawing on a small piece of paper, writes a congratulation, and then all the pieces of paper are collected into a large collage.
Color spectrum
Congratulations should always be accompanied by an explosion of emotions, and they are impossible without bright colors. Therefore, do not be afraid to use elegant paints, felt-tip pens, and colored pencils.
Black and gloomy tones are best left for boring working drawings and diagrams.
Poster shape
Traditionally, posters are drawn on A1 paper.
But you can change these traditions a little and:
- Fold a large sheet of paper like a giant postcard;
- Cut the corners figuratively;
- Give the paper an unusual shape of clouds, a ship, a bear and other natural phenomena or toy fairy-tale characters.
By the way, the inability to draw or write calligraphy will not be a reason for refusing an unusual greeting, just like the inability to write poetry. Instead of your own drawings, you can use pictures from magazines or the Internet, and the printer will correct the most beautiful handwriting.
On the World Wide Web you can find suitable congratulations and captions for pictures, although it is better to write them yourself.
What to write on a wall newspaper?
For Teacher's Day, I want to write the most beautiful and touching congratulations on the poster. However, the teachers will certainly appreciate the funny wishes and laugh heartily at the funny jokes from the students.

Photo collage
The question of how to make a poster for your husband, wife, parents, sister, brother is most easily solved with the help of photographs.
Most often, a small retrospective is made with photographs of the most significant moments of life from birth to the present day, but you can also make thematic congratulations, for example, on Mother’s Day or the holiday of a tanker, teacher, or builder.
To diversify such fairly typical posters, you can pick up old newspaper or magazine clippings dedicated to the holiday. If finding a real newspaper is difficult, you can print it yourself.
Posters for official holidays are decorated with appropriate decor:
- For the New Year they draw snowmen and Christmas trees;
- By February 14, all kinds of hearts are used;
- By March 8, flowers made of paper or fabric are glued;
- At Easter, the creation is decorated with images of candles, Easter cakes, and chickens.
For a birthday, you can use whatever you want and it will be nice for the birthday person to see it.
Cool DIY birthday poster
Looking at the birthday posters with your own hands, photos , you can probably easily choose the option you like and decide what candies and chocolates you will buy to realize your creative idea.
A wall newspaper can be “painted” with any number of sweets: these can be chocolate bars, chocolate bars and small candies, lollipops, lollipops, chewing gum and packages of marmalade. You can use any sweets that catch your eye in the store.
Everyone, without exception, loves chocolates and caramels, and even if the birthday person cannot afford extra calories, the gift will still please him, because it is made in such an unusual style. Along with the candies, the wall newspaper may contain poems, colorful congratulatory inscriptions, wishes for the birthday boy, photographs, as well as various decorative elements that will become an additional decoration.
Sweets can simply serve as decoration on a greeting newspaper, or they can literally end phrases with their names and brands. For example, you are my “Kindest”, where together with the words “kind” there will be a package of children’s juice with the corresponding name. There is also “Favorite” juice, so you can come up with a phrase that includes this word. While walking around the supermarket, carefully look at the names of sweets brands; ideas for possible interesting inscriptions will come to your mind.
The main rule when choosing candies is that they should not be too heavy so that the Whatman paper does not sag; it is advisable to place the heaviest specimens on the lower part. Sometimes whatman paper is fixed on a wooden or other durable structure so that it does not deform under the weight of “decorations”.
When making a poster for your friend’s birthday with your own hands , all the candy elements must be fixed on a strip of double-sided tape. Firstly, such fastening will be invisible and will not in any way affect the neat appearance, secondly, it guarantees reliable fixation of the elements, thirdly, the packaging can be easily peeled off from the double-sided tape.

If you are not sure that you have beautiful calligraphic handwriting, you can ask your friends for help, or print out the main inscriptions on a color printer and then stick them on our wall newspaper.
When you make a postcard with your own hands, you often use a printer to print out a congratulation poem on it, and the same technique can be used in this case.
Now let’s look at some options on how to beautifully decorate a poster for your husband’s birthday with your own hands , and then adapt the sweets to our congratulations:
Near the “Bounty” chocolate bar you can write “You are a heavenly delight.” Near the “Twix” - we will always be inseparable, like...

It is advisable that your child’s birthday poster be decorated with large, bright elements; these can be pictures of your favorite fairy-tale and cartoon characters, funny stickers and decals.
The child will immediately be interested in the sweet elements that you decide to stick to whatman paper, so it is better not to make a sweet poster. Otherwise, without even considering the gift, the child will already try to separate the sweet “components” from it.
A great idea to give a birthday gift with a surprise, i.e. on the Whatman paper itself you can make small pockets in which small souvenirs will be hidden - toys, key rings, badges, stationery, pendants, rubber bands. For your daughter, you can hide gold or silver earrings in one of these pockets.

Why is a wall newspaper for Teacher's Day a great gift?
The simplest, but at the same time, original way to please teachers on Teacher's Day is to make posters with your own hands. Why an unusually designed piece of Whatman paper will be a pleasant surprise for mentors:
- A blank piece of paper allows you to express your creativity and talents. Some of the students can draw a beautiful picture, others can compose a congratulatory poem. A wall newspaper can be designed in the form of comics, a newspaper spread, decorated with sweets, school photographs, or something else.
- The teacher will certainly appreciate the efforts of the students and will be glad to receive such an unusual gift on their holiday.
- Our parents and grandparents drew wall newspapers by hand, but now you can print out beautiful text, paste ready-made pictures, or make a poster using a special program on your computer.
- Collective creativity is always fun and interesting when the whole class gets together to create a gift for their favorite teacher with their own hands.
Sweet posters
The poster can also be tasty and edible. To do this, sweets, chocolate bars, and small packages of cookies are glued onto whatman paper.
You can use sweets to put out funny pictures in the form of a house or a car, from where the birthday boy’s face will look out, or a palm tree, under which his photos from the resorts will be located.
Intrusive advertising will help make the sweet poster easily recognizable, and for those who don’t watch TV, you can make the following inscriptions:
- "Bounty" - for heavenly pleasure;
- Skittles - share the rainbow with your friends;
- “Snickers” - don’t be sad, Snickersny;
- chocolate with liqueur - if you’re sad, eat a chocolate bar; if that doesn’t help, wash it down with cognac.
You can come up with similar inscriptions yourself or find them on the Internet.
Instead of sweets, you can attach packages of chips, cold cuts, instant noodles, and chewing gum.
Children's posters
The technology that answers the question of how to make a poster for children with your own hands is not much different from adult crafts. But here you can paste pictures with your favorite cartoon and comic book characters, replacing the faces of the characters with photographs of the child himself and his family.
In such posters, they are not too keen on writing texts; children will be much more pleased to receive a bright and cheerful wall newspaper.
