Displaying Children’s Artwork

Do you display your child’s artwork by taping them to the walls like I do?  If so, you may like some of the ideas I have compiled from many different sources on ways to showcase your child’s artwork.

Many photo companies such as Snapfish, Costco, Sam’s and Mandy’s Moon offer the ability to turn a digital picture into a useable item or even a gift such as the following… 

Mouse Pads

Magnets

12 month calendar using your child’s artwork for the pictures

mugs

coasters

These coaster samples are from Mandy’s Moon. 

Simple and inexpensive idea… Hang a clothes line and use the pins to hold your child’s artwork in place.  This makes an easy way to put up and take down art.  Your child can decorate the clothespins with sequins, glitter, feathers or buttons.  You also can decorate the pins with scrapbook paper that has been cut to fit and glued directly to the clothes pin.

Instead of clothes line, how about using a boa like Danielle from Why Chase Butterflies did?

How about a curtain rod?

And then there are…

Picture Frames that you can change out as often as you desire

3 ring binders where you compile the best sampling of their artwork

Making photo albums devoted to pictures of your child with their art work or their art work alone

New placemats each month – just take one of their pictures and cover it with contact paper

What idea do you like best and why?   Maybe you have an idea that’s not listed, share in the comments.  I’d love to hear it.
