My mom is a retired teacher and she worked in a terribly underfunded inner-city school. So, I'm no stranger to the bulletin-board struggle and the extra-resourcefulness of teachers when it comes to getting classrooms ready for fall. Naturally, this inspired the creation of the DIY for Teachers channel at TheSnug.com! Here are our top classroom DIY ideas to date. (No reason you can't put them to work at home, too, if you've got kids!) -Tabitha Sukhai for This Old House's TheSnug.com
