The blank stretch of wall above a whiteboard is the hardest four feet in any classroom to fill without spending money. The Eucalyptus Gumleaf Classroom Bunting Pack solves it with string and paper: pennant flags carrying gum leaves and soft native greenery, a full alphabet run for spelling out anything you like, and blank flags you type yourself when the wording changes.
Why this pack helps
Bunting does something no poster does — it fills horizontal space and softens a hard architectural line, which is exactly what a room full of straight edges and grey furniture needs. It is also the cheapest display to change: rethreading six flags takes two minutes, whereas replacing a laminated banner takes an evening. Because every letter and number is supplied individually, one purchase covers every word your room will ever need to spell, and the greenery artwork stays appropriate in every month of the year.
What’s inside the pack
- A complete alphabet, A–Z, plus numerals 0–9 and punctuation, each on its own pennant.
- Ready-made word flags for the phrases most rooms want, including a welcome run and a reading-corner run.
- Blank editable pennants so any word, name or unit title can be typed and printed to match.
- Three flag shapes — triangle, scalloped and rectangular — so the bunting suits the space it is hung in.
- Hole-punch guides and a threading note, plus a half-size version for shorter runs and shelf fronts.
Where teachers hang it
- Above the whiteboard – the standard run, softening the top of the teaching wall.
- The reading corner – spelling out a word such as READ over the book display.
- Window lines – strung across a window frame where nothing can be stuck to the glass.
- Display board borders – framing a board instead of using a paper border strip.
- Door frames – a short run over the doorway, matching a door display.
- Shelf fronts – the half-size flags taped along a bookshelf edge.
- Corridor displays – naming a class or a project outside the room.
- Event backdrops – assemblies, class photographs and parent evenings.
Who it’s for
Any grade from preschool upward, since bunting is not age-coded. The gumleaf and native greenery artwork makes it a natural fit for Australian classrooms, and the files are laid out for A4 as well as US Letter for that reason. It also suits teachers with strict display policies, because paper bunting comes down cleanly and leaves no marks on paintwork.
How to set it up in your classroom
Print on cardstock — ordinary paper curls once it hangs. Cut the flags, punch the two marked holes at the top of each, then thread ribbon, twine or wool through so the flags sit slightly apart rather than touching. Measure your wall and count the flags before cutting the string; most runs need fewer letters than people expect once the spacing is right. Attach with removable hooks or poster putty at the two ends only, and let the middle sag naturally.
How teachers use it
Most rooms start with one permanent run — a welcome message or the class name — and then keep a second string of blanks for whatever is current: a unit title, a value of the month, a countdown to a class event. Teachers who share a hall or a corridor use the blank flags to label whose display is whose. And because the alphabet is complete, the same pack gets used for a child’s name over their birthday display, which is the sort of small gesture that costs one sheet of card.

Frequently asked questions
How big is each flag? The full-size pennants are drawn to fit two per sheet, with a half-size version supplied for shorter runs. Exact dimensions are shown in the preview.
Which parts can I type on? The blank pennants only. The alphabet, numbers and ready-made word flags are fixed artwork so the lettering stays consistent.
Do I need a color printer? Not necessarily. The line-art edition is designed to be printed on colored card, which many teachers prefer to full-color printing anyway.
Can the school library use my copy too? No — the license covers one teacher and one classroom. A separate copy is needed for another space run by someone else.
