How to create a Squicker Wall of Fame

No time to hold an art show?

We have a quick and easy way to display student artwork that is sure to pump up their self-esteem! What a great way to motivate families to participate in the elementary school art fundraiser!

Think about it!
How much do your students love their free gift of Square 1 Art Squickers?
(20 custom stickers of their very own artwork that they receive free upon their school participating in a Square 1 Art easy to run art fundraiser)

Plan ahead and create a Great Wall of Fame with each child's artwork.
Follow these three easy steps to creating a beautiful wall of art!


This idea was created by: West Bradford Elementary, Downingtown PA

Step One
Dress up your bulletin board.
Use butcher or kraft paper to create a dramatic back drop. Cut out shapes or letters to outline the stickers. This will keep the stickers in place upon applying.  Do you want your shapes or letters to appear 3-D? Use foam core board as a backing for the stickers.
Many stores in your neighborhood typically are willing to give away scraps.  When I was in art school I would go by the interior design shops and retrieve their old fabric samples to use in my art.

Step Two
Apply the Squickers.
Upon receipt of your custom catalogs and squickers that showcase the student's artwork, pull one sticker off of each sheet and apply them to the bulletin board.  Another fun idea is to involve the students in your creation.  Have them apply their own stickers.  They could also sign the back drop as they are choosing the perfect squicker location.

Step Three
Reveal the completed Squicker Wall of Fame
Hold a parent night and have the students present the wall. You could also showcase the wall during morning announcements or a pep-rally.

This is just another fun and easy way to showcase your pint sized Picasso's beautiful art masterpieces!
