    Great Ideas For Displaying Kids’ Art

    What to do with all the art your kids bring home from school or make at home? This large focal wall was painted with various shapes and sizes of frames to hold kids artwork. I love the idea of “painted” frames.

    “Painted-on frames, clips and the use of different shades of colors all help create the look of this wall, which is meant to feature the rotating artwork of children, as well as be a decorative element in the room. Simple bulldog barrel binder clips were colored to match the corresponding frame and then attached to the wall with Velcro. The result is a magical mural that serves a purpose. Even empty of original artwork, the frames still look full because of the images within them.” Images from here. 

    Here are a few other solutions to help with the artwork clutter.
    Take photos of your kids artwork. Make a special scrapbook of photos of all your childs art. This is such an easy solution to art that takes up a lot of space.

     image from here.
    Hang a few wires on the wall and display “rotating” art

     

    Use cork wall tiles to create a mini art gallery. Image from here.
    Dynamic Frames  makes these clever art cabinet/frames. The frame/cabinet opens from the front and can hold 50 pieces of art.

     

    Jan Eleni scans your kids art and creates a one-of-a-kind poster (original art is returned to you). Seriously cool.

      OOOOO these are genius! I created something like this using no-frame glass picture frames. However, I'd MUCH rather have something so simple and unique (and adorable!!!) I think this is going to happen in my hallway! Thanks!

      Love the photo frames. I have a large collage in my sons room of family and I'm constantly changing it when people are changing. Like his small cousins. It's great for teaching him who his family is even though they live far away. These types of frames would be great.

      I love the painted frames idea. That's a really cute solution and even if there is not artwork, the empty "frames" are a great mural. Now I just have to find an empty wall 🙂

      Those are really cute ideas. I get a lot of handmade greeting cards from people and I can never throw them away, so I had a whole box full. Well, I decided to do the curtain rod idea to display those cards in my craftroom. I also had some grids from some shelving that I own, so I put those on the wall and put the clips on those to attach the cards. You can see them at the bottom of this post if you would like to.

      Love these-especially the whole wall of painted frames….I did three frames like this in my laundry room last year (https://callingallsleepyheads.blogspot.com/2009/10/displaying-art.html) but I like this grouping-makes such a statement! This would be great for my art studio!

      I have two comments…
      We were at IKEA this weekend, and they have the wire and clips…so for about $20 I can string the 3 yr olds pictures all along the wall in his room…PERFECT!

      Also, go to one of the photo book sites (like Blurb(dot)com) And scan the artwork into a photo book that you can cherish forever (without all the clutter!)

      Thanks a lot for posting. You have helped me get an idea on what to do as a project for my kids this summer. We haven't tried coloring as a big project though. I have seen forums discussing coloring books, apart from the very colorful books, I would be able to help enhance my kids' arts skills.
