Displaying Masterpieces


We've always enjoyed displaying our kids masterpieces as art work in our home. Over the years, we've done this at varying degrees with tape, clips, magnets, wire and so on. Yesterday, I thought of an EASY and fun way to display more art. :)

Materials Needed:
A length of ribbon, lace, rope or other. Tacks
Clothes pins (I used mini ones found at JoAnnes)
Glue
Buttons (In my opinion, you can NEVER go wrong with adding buttons!)

How To:
1. Choose a wall. Tack the lace to one side and with a gentle swag, secure the opposite end with another tack. (Have a small space that needs a little something? Hang the lace vertically.)
2. Glue a button on the clothespin and let dry.
3. Pick art work, photos, postcards..... and "pin" up.
4. Enjoy!
