I've got the bulletin boards up. One of the things I have the hardest time with is getting my bulletin board letters straight. I will eyeball them and they'll go up, or they'll go down, or they'll be wavy. . . but they're never straight across. Never.
I finally figured it out.
Tape. Tape is my friend.
It's kind of hard to see on my photo, but that's masking tape right across the front of the letters.
Let me first say that you can only do this on blank walls or FABRIC backed bulletin boards. I use fabric because it's fun, reusable and doesn't fade.
If you use paper backed bulletin boards, this will rip your paper.
First, line up the letters on something straight. I use the edge of my desk.
Rip off a piece of masking tape to cover all your letters and lay it over the top.
You can now pick up the entire word and transfer it to your bulletin board.
Adjust. Adjust again. Adjust again. And, if you're me, adjust one more time.
Staple one staple above, and one below the tape line. Pull off the tape.
Done! Straight letters!
