Kid's Artwork Display Idea...





Okay, my friend Nicola, had a similar display up in her kitchen. She is so creative! She got the idea from a blog called Soule Mama.(Click on highlighted links to their blogs.) It really only cost about five dollars to make if you already have the clips on hand. If you are like me, your preschooler has so much paper/artwork that they feel is sooo important, but it is taking over your house! Anyway, Ben usually finds some of his in the trash and says, "OH NO! Who put this here!!??" So I decided this way he could pick what goes up and what comes down. Here is how you do the display:



First, you get some little circle screws. The circle part should be about the circumference of a dime or close to it. You just use your hands and twist them into the wall. Then you get a little package of wire and attach it to the circle parts. I used light duty wire, and I could twist it together pretty easily.



Next, you just get some clips like this, or if you have clothes pins on hand, that would work too!



Put up the artwork for the week and OOWAH-LAH! A fun display!
ENJOY!!



P.S. Thank you Elaine for the cute jackets you sent the boys!! They LOVE them!!!

  2. That looks so fun and simple. We use a curtain rod with shower curtain clips on it, but your idea is cheaper, and holds more. We're gonna have to add to ours...
