DIY Decorations

Introduction

Decorations can turn a fun fair into an unforgettable experience! Literati's beautiful seasonal themes are designed to bring excitement and flair to your fair all on their own—but when you add your school's creative touch, the magic multiplies. From hallways to tabletops, we encourage you to let the theme inspire decorations that delight your students and transform your space into something truly memorable.

Where to Start

Find themed ideas in this season's Book Fair Guidebook (pg. 7), on our book fair Pinterest board, and our book fair coordinator Facebook page. Beyond that, here are some thought-starters for how you can make your book fair space especially inviting:

• Make your book fair entrance and exit memorable.
• Extend thematic touches into the hallway, or wherever students will gather just before entering.
• Create a themed teacher wishlist board and feature it prominently.
• Add some color to the checkout area.
• Transform a nearby corner into a reading nook.
• Find places to hang or display student-made stories and artwork.

You can also create a festive atmosphere without too many craft materials: think about music or creative PA announcements. A special themed playlist can really bring the magic—and all you need is a Bluetooth speaker.

You understand best what’s achievable for your school. Let your own creativity be your guide!
