Decorating school boards does not have to be complicated and can be done using simple techniques. Use origami, watercolours, and oil pastel colours to create different designs. Check the designs below:

1. Creating tricolour borders:

Create borders for your school board using tricolours. Use orange, green and while coloured chart papers to make thin tricolours and place them in the corners of the school board. You can even use different patterns to create them and add different things like flowers or flags to enhance them.

2. Showcasing Patriotism:

Pick a particular theme to showcase the patriotism. You can create portraits of freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Gandhi, Rani Laxmi Bai, and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose to display the heroes who fought for India’s independence.

3. Add Quotes
