I am excited to share a simple DIY to display your kiddos art, or really, whatever you’d like :) Last week, I had the boys’ art strung on a piece of yarn tied between thumb tacks. It worked, yes, but for some time I’ve wanted to create a better display and when I received gift cards to Hobby Lobby for my birthday, I found the perfect frames and began! It seriously takes no time at all! Stay, especially if you have a little artist on your hands :) (and please excuse the horrible lighting and quality of these photos… I may just be speaking to my photographer hubby who I know will see this ;))
Supplies used:
Frames (you could use a regular and painted one if you’d like) – I bought mine at Hobby Lobby for 40% off of $8 each
Paint – colour of your choice
Paint brushes
Glue gun
Mini clothes pins
Stickers (or a Cricut to cut out your own)
Step 1: paint and let it try
Step 2: Pick a word, quote or saying and place stickers
Step 3: Glue clothes pins (measure and mark ahead of time – so they are even. Mine aren’t because I didn’t think that through)
Step 4: Print photos and add to frames
Step 5: Hang and hang up kiddos artwork
The aprons – one was a gift for Chase and we recently painted it. Shailo’s was $1.19 on sale at Hobby Lobby!
It is fun to display their art in a place for them to admire or show daddy and friends who come by. When we take down the art – I am so that mom who saves everything but recently started using an app called ArtKive which is amazing!
Hope you are inspired
Did I leave a sea/fish movie there?
