Black and White Polka Dot Classroom Decor Ideas

I just finished a huge Black and White Polka Dot Decor bundle and thought it would be a great time share some of my black and white polka dot decor ideas.   

The fabulous thing about black and white polka dots is that they never go out of style and you can find black and white polka dot items just about anywhere!  I purchased a ton of black and white polka dot fabric from Jo-Ann’s and made all my seat covers and table cloths.  I used a staple gun to cover the chair below with polka dot fabric.  It was an easy fix!

The bench cushion below was also made with fabric from Jo-Ann’s.  The “Elementary Cool” pillow is from Dirtsa Studios on Etsy. 

I purchased a ton of black and white polka dot ribbon.  I believe the ribbon I used below, to secure my pocket chart, was from Michaels.

Not into sewing?  I purchased this tablecloth below from Amazon {click here} and then covered it with two yards of clear plastic from Jo-Ann’s.

I like to mix brights with the black and white polka dots.  You can find the Bright Polka Dot labels {HERE}.

HomeGoods is always a great source of decor finds!

My classroom library is labeled in all black and white polka dots!  You can purchase the classroom library book bin labels {HERE} & the leveled library book bin labels {HERE}.

The bright sturdy bins below are from Big Lots a few seasons back.  I have also seen some at Ocean State Job Lot. 
Another decor tip I learned from Melanie of Schoolgirl Style is to use wrapping paper as a background!

When decorating your classroom, don’t forget to decorate your door!  I like to layer my borders.

    Love the black and white polka dots, and especially how you've incorporated them throughout your classroom. Cute but classic design!

🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers ! I hav 🎂Happy 20th Birthday @teacherspayteachers !

I have been with TpT since 2008!  I remember looking for a place where I could share my computer created resources with other teachers without having to set up my own website.  TpT was suggested.  I started off with a few Microsoft Word created resources 😬. At the time, the founder of TpT, Paul and his brother Dana, were single-handedly running things. I loved getting their newsletters.

In 2009 I was in a NY times article for TpT about who owns the copyright to teacher’s lesson plan ideas…the schools or the teachers.  This was not the article the author or editors told me I would be in, but that is another story! 

I stuck with TpT and creating resources and then in 2011, the site really took off and I met all these other amazing teacher-authors and finally met Paul in real life! 

As a single homeowner on a teachers salary, I worked nights and weekends on TpT resources just to be able to afford to live in my little house.  Then something amazing happened, my hard work paid off and I was able to get myself some breathing room.  I am so grateful for TpT for giving my life purpose and financial freedom back in those days.  Even though I am married now, I am so proud of myself for being able to own that little house (I still have it and rent it out) and buy my forever home in my dream neighborhood all by myself.

So many of you found out about TpT and so many more sellers joined.  It truly became the open market place that Paul envisioned all those years ago. 

TpT is still a big part of my life all these years (and hair colors) later.  I know when I eventually retire from teaching, I will be able to do TpT full time.  I love creating and sharing resources (880 and counting) with all of you.
