The kids bring home TONS of art.
What’s better than preschool & kindergarten art?
Not much.
I never know where to display all these pieces!
I wanted to get a decorative curtain rod and use clips that I have to hang their cuteness, but I am trying to reduce the amount of holes in the walls. I strung a piece of twine halfway up the stairs on the landing and used some glittery clothespins to secure their masterpieces. I hid the small nails behind the window coverings.

This morning I added a couple more things ~ I definitely like the addition of more stuff, but the jury is still out on the whole thing. It certainly livens up the boring, drab white-ish walls, though!
I’m thinking that a few larger holes to hold a more substantial rod into the wall are worth these precious pieces of art….your thoughts?
I like it! I’ve been trying to display Sophie’s artwork around the house too. And we have a huge wall with the staircase that really needs some pizzaz. I think I’ll do the same.
My thoughts – love it. Thinking of where I can do that in my house!
Thank you so much for your input, Ladies! It is growing on me…the kids love seeing their masterpieces displayed plus it is an opportunity for ever-changing decor around the house for free! 😉 I think I like the organic feel of the twine, too. The clothespins are a cinch to make which I talked about here: http://flipflopfollies.com/?p=5466. Something that the kids can do if you aren’t afraid to give them a little Elmer’s and some glitter! 😉 Again, I appreciate your feedback…another friend shared it on her Facebook page. There must me a millions mamas out there that don’t know what to do with all this handcrafted cuteness from their kiddies! Have a beautiful Monday! XOXO
Perfect! Just what I need. Thank you!
OMG! Thats such a cute idea Aimes!!! Love it!!!
