This comes in a roll. I was excited at first, but then I attempted to hang this up. Most of the time, bulletin board border comes in predetermined lengths usually around 4 feet long. So you end up with some short pieces you can't do much with. I was thinking this would be great because you wouldn't have any small or short pieces. When trying to get this hung up, I quickly realized that it's a pain. I suggest you lay out your piece and cut it. Then you can hang it up. I'm still giving it four stars because it is true to color as shown. It's also very sturdy so I could use it many times over.
