I am a huge fan of an
uncluttered fridge front,
but I also am starting to get
lots of cute artwork from my toddler.
I wanted her to feel special and
also have an organized, simple way
to display a few pieces at a time.
First I took some black contact paper
(sold at local stores or
in my Online Store for $0.65 a foot)
and cut out the word Masterpieces.
(Pattern below...)
After applying the word Masterpieces to my wall,
I went to my local dollar store and
purchased 5 black frames.
I printed off a matching background
for each of the five frames
(Free printable below...)
to match the rest of the coloring in the room.
Then I took a small binder clip
and hot glued a metal star on one side,
and hot glued the other side to the
top of the black frame.
I mounted the five frames,
each with a "starred" black binder clip
onto the wall in our dining/kitchen area.
Now to display her art,
I can easily slip it in the clip,
or insert her art behind the glass.
As I have more children,
each child will have their own frame
to display whatever they want.
I hope this helps simplify the
Art Displaying mayhem!
I'd love to hear what you think or
what you do to display the art in your own home!
