Yesterday, I put together this display in the library:
Material List Break-Down
Film Reel
- Foam Board
- Tape Roll
- Paint
- Glitter
- Paper Film Reel
- Laminator
- Tape & Glue
I used a blown-up photo of a film reel and traced in onto the foam board. Then, I painted the foam board gray. Afterwards, I sprinkled glitter on it and ran my paintbrush through to spread it out. To assemble, I put a tape roll (book tape) between the two foam pieces. I laminated a long strip of film that I printed off from the web to give it a shiny look and tape it around the edges. This is by far my favorite part of the display!
Popcorn Box
- Posterboard
- Paper
- Yellow Tissue Paper
Begin with the posterboard, cutting out the shape. (And yes, I had to look it up, but you want to draw a isosceles trapezoid.) Honestly, I free-handed the template. As long as you have two sets of equal sides, the box will line up. Afterwards, I glued a red and white stripe piece of paper onto the posterboard, taped all the sides together and made the label. Then, I crumpled yellow tissue paper in the box to look like popcorn.
Curtains
- Butcher Block
I just pleated Butcher Block paper and attached around the display.
I am in *love* with this display, but I still want to add more. Maybe some hanging stars with glitter? We’ll see.
Well IIII am in love with all of these posts that display your neat displays. Very fun. KLeep them up!
I know Pam right? I am stealing this one. I saw something like it this summer when I visited a Hollywood memorabilia store. They had used a picture frame. Very cute.

Hi! I work for an education association and we’d like to publish this photo in an upcoming issue of our magazine in an article on fun library displays. If you’re interested, please email me at mcurtis@atpe.org. Thanks!
