    Staple lengths of ribbon onto the board in a criss-cross pattern. Then, you can tuck things under the ribbon and display them on your board without having to put a pin hole in them.

    Acrylic would be better, as it is stiffer and less powdery than pastel.

    Poster paint remains water soluble after it has dried. Acrylic is water soluble but is waterproof when dry. You can use poster paint in place of acrylic. The final finish of the acrylic is glossy while poster is more of a matte finish. It all depends on what you want for the final look.
