Over the years my children have created some fun artwork that I have kept in a special box. I am always amazed to see what is inside those little minds of theirs.
I have often thought it would be fun to display their artwork for all to see, but with so many options and ideas out there, I had trouble deciding what to do.
Then I ran across an idea that I just loved!
I loved the eclectic look of the different finishes on the frames. The wall is large enough that we can add at least 5-6 more frames if we'd like. Under these frames is a table that they will be using for drawing and other crafts. The kids were excited to see their masterpieces on the walls and had fun remembering who had drawn what and the stories behind each picture: an art contest, a letter to God when they had gotten saved, a self portrait, Sunday school picture, Winnie the Pooh and Eyore, and many more!

I think the easiest way to get your pictures on the wall the way you would like is to lay them out on the floor first. A simple and creative technique is to put just a little dab of toothpaste on the back of your frame where the nail will go and gently push it on to the wall. Then you can hammer the nail exactly in the right place. Some also use painters' tape to draw the frames on the wall so you can see exactly what it will look like before you put any holes in the wall.
How about you? How do you display your kids work of art?
