When You Enter This Classroom... Door Decor

Earlier this year I posted a picture of my classroom door and I've received a lot of questions from teachers who wanted to replicate it!
Well, I've finally put everything together in one nice little file for all of you, along with some details on how I created the design! I had several questions asking if my door is painted black, and the answer is no, I actually covered it with black fadeless paper!

The white writing is done in a white Chalk Ink marker.
The white marker comes either in a pack of four, or in a pack with other colors. I actually own both packs!


I wrote out the lettering on the top of the door first, and then taped on the banners that spell out CLASSROOM. I held the banners up first to try to figure out spacing and make sure they all fit! The next part of the door I wrote out "you are" in chalk ink and then I taped on the word where I wanted it.

I loved using the chalk ink when decorating my classroom door and definitely would do it again! It is a great alternative to cutting out lots of different letters to tape up!

To get the free printables that I made to create this door, you can go here, or click on the picture below!

The door was not my original idea, rather it was inspired by many images of posters and other teachers' classroom doors on Pinterest!

  2. I do the same one! I just printed colorful words, laminated, and taped it to my brown door. Kept it up all year!

  12. This would be awesome on the office door of a school. Is there any chance I could get an "H" on the banner so that I could spell "SCHOOL" instead of classroom? I think I'm going to use a silver sharpie for the chalk!
