Kids Artwork – display it in style

Date: 2010.03.12 | Category: Decorating | Tags: accessories,before and After,Fun for kids,IKEA,quick and easy

My kids LOVE to draw. As Thrifty Decor Chick would say, they luuuurve it!
What they love even more than that though is displaying it! Here is your step-by-step guide on great ways to display their great works of art as well as how NOT to display it!

Here’s how my kids display their masterpieces:

This would obviously fall under the category of how NOT to display artwork.
Here are a few great ideas I’ve found on friendly tasteful ways to display all this paper!
Clothesline it!

Frame it!

Clipboard it!

Curtain rod it!

Easy-change frame it!

Scan & combine it!

Book it!

Stick it on a magnetic wall!

Do your home a favor and enjoy that artwork in style!!!
Wouldn’t Super Mario Wii World 5 be so much cuter on a curtain rod?

And wouldn’t Mario Wii World 8 look great on a magnetic wall?

I need to install a clothesline for my daughter to display her “dog blanket”

Remember: Love the artwork AND display it tastefully. You CAN have your cake and eat it too!
Now I need to practice what I preach and get some great artwork displays! Off to IKEA and Hobby Lobby… As Randy would say, “see ya later all my dogs in the pound!”

Thanks for visiting House of Hepworths!

I love displaying my kids artwork! I like the book it idea and have been wanting to get around to doing it!

All great ideas! I wish I would have thought of some of these ideas when my kids were still real young. My son is now 11 and is actually painting pictures (nice ones) on canvas for me, so the artwork isn’t so much a problem anymore. Love the scanning and combining idea… perfection!

these are all such great ideas!

Thank you for linking this up to A Little Craft Therapy with Life in the Pitts.

I love the frame ideas. I’ve got so much stuff from our kiddos over time that this would be something I could do to display their artwork.
Thanks for sharing!

I’m STILL trying to find the perfect “Look what I did” for my kids…THIS is definitely getting bookmarked! Thanks!

I really need to take a good look your post again. My kids art work is just spread throughout the house! I would love to have it consolidated to one place. Great round up!
Katie 10/03/16 19:25

I love these ideas! My little guy has just started making me artwork, and we need a way to display it!
Anna 10/03/16 04:42

great ideas, I am re-doing my kids’ bedrooms and will have to try and use one of these

Great ideas! I guess cramming them all in plastic bins isn’t too chic! I’m loving your new site look! I joined in as your first “friend”! Woo hoo – I love being the first to join something good!
Lisa Anne 10/03/15 08:47

I’d have to do the scan and combine and frame with all the art my son does. He tends to keep it all in a notebook now that he’s getting older.

I’m a big fan of the clothesline display. I use it in our kitchen and playroom!

i just realized where your profile picture for your blog came from. i thought you looked really good in it then i looked again and realized, wasn’t that in Napa in front of the castle? it looks like it and it’s a great photo of you!

Hi!

I’m visiting from New Friend Friday (the best idea ev-vah1). I’m loving all the kids art display ideas. I have a hallway FULL (yes, top to bottom)of framed art from my now grown young’uns. I have more plus nine years of my grandson’s projects to display as well. I just purchased the ring clips and rods from IKEA to hang… and I also want to scan others into little books like the one you showed. Great post! You have a new follower. Big Hug…

I love your childrens artwork and what wonderful ideas for displaying it! I need to get several pictures done by my own kids re-framed and up on the walls!

Okay, so I guess just shoving it all in the top of my son’s closet isn’t a good solution. I need to figure something out – it actually crashed down on top of me the other night.
Crystal 10/03/13 20:10

LOL…. just had to tell you here that your ‘feces’ comment had me laughing with tears in my eyes for like the past 30 minutes. My hubs thoought I’d gone nutso! It cracked me up when you were like I’m NEVER sending a message from my phone again! Never ever! LOL…. still giggling
Helena 10/03/13 07:17

Aw, that’s a great way to decorate. I bet your kids are so excited to see their art on the walls!

I just found you through The Girl Creative
Sandy 10/03/13 06:21

You are welcome! Great site!! I’ve got you in my RSS feed now.

Great idea!

I scan my kids school work and save it on the computer so I can toss the real work. Well, I say scan but really I *use to* scan until the scanner broke. I’ve got a huge pile of work to scan. My *goal* is to make photo books but with the artwork instead of photos. That way they can have a book per year or maybe a couple books for all of Elementary school.

I love this round up. Great idea to scan and combine the artwork! Thanks for including M&T.

I just recently started booking it – my house did/does look like the first photo (or worse) but I made a rule – lets treat your drawing like a journal. We date it they draw in it and they write about it – they love it and I love it…
