art gallery

i came across the cutest idea last night and had to share for all my mom friends. as a kid who LIVED for arts and crafts days at school, this project made me so happy.

this mom made a "brag board" of all her kids' artwork, so they can proudly look at their masterpieces, and in return, i think the custom art adds some nice character to their home.


after seeing this, i know that a good idea always comes from somewhere or is also done is many other fashions, so here are some of my favs i found:


this looks like molding of some sort with clips attached.


this mom took took pictures of her boys' art then made a collage in photoshop and added her boys' pics and names for an added touch. love it.


use an empty frame. we found a huge empty frame with some nice detail on the side of the road and i've been toying around with putting lots of loose art and other things i love in it, but i'm not convinced yet. this pic just reminded me what you can do with something so simple.


this is my absolute favorite. i love this idea of not confining it to the playroom or your child's room, but having it take up an entire wall in a high-traveled area. the ability to switch it out or frame the ones you really like, just make it even more personal.

this would also be a fun excuse to try out magnetic paint.



all this talk makes me want to break out the glue, paper towel rolls, and markers and start creating! :)
