The art is now proudly displayed in my son's room and we frequently change the display. Here is what it looks like:
You get open frames and hang them on the wall, letting the wall color show through. The original idea I saw used double-stick tape or push pins to stick the art in the middle of the frame. I didn't want to make a mess of my walls, so I bought colored binder clips and hubby screwed them into the frame ( I was going to glue it).
Now we can change the art anytime and it looks attractive! Most recently, this frame displayed a tracing of a jet, and before that a detailed drawing of a Lego Mars Mission scene (if you only have girls, you have no idea what I'm talking about). :)
Displaying my son's art this way works for me. Stop by Rocks In My Dryer for more great Works-for-me-Wednesday tips.
What a neat idea! He must be proud of his artwork.
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried velcro dots? I don't think they would hurt the wall, and you could center the picture.
Got this idea from teaching preschool.
Clip those coupons!
I have seen ideas using a picture frame for kids' art, but not an open picture frame which makes it easier to rotate the artwork. This is a great idea - I'll have to file it away for using when my daughter is older. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea - I love it! I frame my two and half year olds artwork around my house, but I really like the open frame so I can switch art out easily - thanks for this!
