Admit it. Part of the reason you became a teacher was so you could decorate your classroom with awesome bulletin boards, right? Yeah, we get it, and you’re not alone. The only bummer part is putting up the background paper, which tends to fade and become full of holes and rips by the end of the year. That’s why teachers are going wild for Better Than Paper.
This magic material is stronger and easier to work with than paper, so it lasts for years (really!). It comes in a bunch of gorgeous patterns and colors. And did we mention you can write on it and wipe off the writing later, like a whiteboard? Take a look at how teachers are using this incredible product in their classrooms and prepare to be amazed.

Ever dreamed of having a classroom-mural wall?
Every single bit of this project on white Better Than Paper was later removed to create a new mural. Pro tip: You can use wet-erase markers for a more lasting finish; wipe them off later with a damp cloth.

Create a bulletin board anywhere you want.
Another tip: Use it to cover a piece of foam board, and you can use thumbtacks on it, just like a regular bulletin board.

Better Than Paper works off the wall too.
Teacher desks can be a little … dingy. So we’re loving this combo of reclaimed wood Better Than Paper to cover the desk base with galvanized metal Better Than Paper for the top. (And yes, the teacher confirmed it held up perfectly all year long!)
