I love to have my kids' artwork on the walls of my home. We paint and create a lot and it seems like most stuff gets put in a pile. I would like to be better about displaying. What do you do with all your kids artwork?
I wish I had taken a before picture, but I picked up a framed print from Good Cheer (our local thrift store) last month. I took the print out sanded it down and then I painted with white acrylic paint to make a blank canvas for the kids. We had some leaf rubbings that we mod-podged on and then they had lots of fun painting. This is a picture of the finished piece that's on display in our home.
Total project cost: $3 for the framed print. I love upcycling!

That turned out really nice! Levi doesn't care for coloring or painting much yet. But my mom used to hang our artwork up with clothespins on a rope that stretched around the kitchen up high, close the ceiling.
Ricki -
We just checked out a book from the library called Young at Art by Susan Striker. She had so many good ideas for art with young children - I think you would like it!
Love the clothespin idea. Thanks.
Darling! Clever idea to reuse the canvas. I'd never thought of that before. Especially brilliant because canvases aren't cheap!
