HOW TO GET FROM A STACK OF ORIGINAL KID CREATIONS TO A DISPLAY THAT BOTH HONORS THEIR ARTWORK, LOOKS GOOD IN YOUR HOME, AND IS EASY TO SWITCH OUT ART PIECES AS YOUR CHILDREN MAKE NEWER AND GREATER ARTWORKS AND AS THEIR ART STYLES DEVELOP AND CHANGE?
In this post I’ll share lots of ways to display kids artwork—some are ways we use or have used, some are ways I’ve admired, all fit as many of the above criteria as possible, especially the bit about being easy to switch out artwork as your children continue to create and to grow.
HERE ARE 21 WAYS TO DISPLAY KIDS ARTWORK
2. Instead of removing the backs, you could simply replace the glass in a set of frames with cork from a roll of cork board.
3. You can use inexpensive frames that allow you to pop out the artwork easily to change what is displayed
6. Give your fridge art display a makeover with DIY magnetic picture frames
8. Use pants hangers to display kids artwork. Let the kids decorate and personalize them first.
12. Make some DiY frame wallpaper where you want your children’s art display, and let your kids draw, paint, and collage their art directly onto the wallpaper.
13. Paint fun and colorful frames directly on the wall as Christie from Childhood 101 did.
15. Have a kids art-only display area OR mix their art in with the other artwork you have hanging around the house.
16. Use a Lil DaVinci frame to combine a professional-looking frame with easy storage for up to 50 additional pieces of your children’s artwork. The front flips open to make changing out the displayed artwork easy.
17. Or, how about a digital frame with a changing display of your children’s artworks? I wouldn’t have thought of this one myself, but a reader says she does and loves it.
19. Do you belong to a kids play group, children’s art group, or preschool? Consider having an art show at a local coffeeshop, bakery, or ice cream shop for a period. When you approach the owner/manager with your idea, make sure to mention that you can have a low-key reception for the young artists and their families (lots of people buying their muffins or ice cream cones) and that the kids and their families will likely continue to visit throughout the month to see their art on display and share it with their friends and neighbors.
21. Or, do as the folks at The Artful Kids blog did next and create a space-saving vertical display with hanging wires.
Which idea is your favorite?
