Women’s History Month Bulletin Board Idea - Easy to Make!

February 13, 2026

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to celebrate Women’s History Month without a lot of prep, come make a bulletin board with me.

This simple display highlights student learning, celebrates influential women, and turns your classroom into a mini museum.

Step 1: Create a simple background
Start with solid bulletin board paper and add a border around the edges. Keeping the background clean helps student work stand out and keeps the board from feeling too busy.

Then, add a simple border to your edges. I love these!

Step 2: Add your title
Add a clear title across the top of the board such as “She Made History,” “Women Who Changed the World,” or “Women Who Inspire Us.” 

Large, easy-to-read letters help the display pop and draw attention.

Step 3: Hang a ribbon clothesline
Stretch a long piece of ribbon or string across the board and secure it at each end. This will act as a clothesline for student work. I used a string of pom-poms, because they're so much fun!

You can add one or two lines depending on the size of your board and what students will be displaying.

Step 4: Clip student projects
As students complete their Women’s History Month projects, clip them onto the ribbon using clothespins. 

Watching the board fill up throughout the week creates excitement and gives students pride in seeing their work displayed. (I grabbed my mini-clothespins, here.)

Why this board works

Bulletin boards don’t have to be complicated to be powerful.

Sometimes the simplest displays — created with student work, thoughtful learning, and a little ribbon and a few clothespins — become the ones students remember most.

If you try this in your classroom, grab everything you need HERE.

I hope you give it a try in your classroom!
