Whether you’ve just moved into your dorm or you’re re-designing your bedroom – creating a vision board is a must! The plus side of a vision board is that you get to completely personalize it to your own interests. You’re in charge! Goal setting is a great way to organize what you would like to accomplish and a vision board enables you to do so in a positive, inspirational fashion.
Moving into a dorm can be scary but your vision board is guaranteed to keep you grounded and focused. Express yourself and draw on all of your creative ability to create at piece of art based on your dreams. Your vision board will serve as a positive daily reminder to stay true to yourself.

How to Make this Vision Board Craft for Teens
To begin constructing your very own vision board you will need a few things.
1) Collect some old magazines & newspaper clippings
2) Find some photos that are special to you
3) Find some quotes or sayings that inspire you
These images and words can literally be anything from words that inspire you to a sport you want to try to your favourite food. Finally, pick up a canvas at your local craft or dollar store and get started!
Personally, I just finished making my own vision board. I found it helpful to organize my board into sections, which included:
1) Travel
2) Healthy Living
3) Career
4) Day-to-day FUN.
Firstly, I’m an actor and writer so I wanted to make sure I incorporated that into my board. Traveling is also a big part of my life and some of the places I want to visit include Greece, Peru, Turkey, Dubai and Morocco so I made sure to find photos from those countries to include as well. For my healthy living section I found pictures of some of my favourite foods and sports such as kickboxing, biking, green smoothies and fruit. I scattered my board with my favourite quote from F. Scott Fitzgerald and other words that inspire me. I finished by hanging it on the wall of my apartment and surrounded it with pictures of my family and friends to create an entire vision wall!

This unique craft will keep your goals, dreams and plans within your reach every single day. Your vision board is meant to encompass all of the things you already love and the things you would love to try or work on. So grab your friends and have a vision board party! Always keep dreaming and follow your passions. There’s only one “you” in the world so rock it!
I love the idea of this. I think it helps to visualize things sometimes.
We have something very similar in our kitchen on a giant cork board. We like to save memories of where we’ve been and places we want to go to help keep us focused and motivated.
That’s a great idea. With a set up like this, you can stay inspired and have some cool art on your wall, too. I love it.
My mother in law has one of these and she finds it very useful. I think it would be great for my niece to do. I myself feel that my two kids are my dream board and I am so thankful for them every day! Maybe I will dream big again when they move out!
This is a great idea for a teen’s room. Sometimes they lose focus on their goals & this would be a great reminder for them.
That is such a wonderful idea. This could really help out a lot with goals/dreams. I remember seeing these before and never really thought about having one of my own.
Wow this a great idea. Kids are so visual and this would help keep them focused on what they need to do to reach their goal. I love this idea!
Vision or goal boards are the best! They really help set the goals, the steps and the drive to achieve. The daily reminders help so much!
I’d love to have a travel vision board! I’d include photos of all of the places I want to go.
When I was in direct sales, we had vision boards and they were super motivating. I need to create one for the blog.
These are so great for visualizing what you want to see in your future. This would be a fun project for teens to get started on.
This is great! I may have to make one for myself!
I was just telling my Daughter about this the other day. She is excited to start one. I will share this with her.
This is a fantastic idea. I will have to show my girls this . I have always wanted to do a vision board.
This is such a great way to keep your goals fresh in your mind! I would love to make one form my wardrobe!
It’s good to give kids a way to remind themselves who they are and what they want to accomplish!
I really need to start a wellness vision board. I feel like I need a lot of help and envisioning it in front of my daily and seeing ti should help.
I love this, what a wonderful idea, I bet my grandchildren would love to participate in doing this
with me 🙂 thanks for this idea to share with them..
