Art Display using Old Frames

Another great idea, especially for mommies and daddies with children. This is a great way to display all that art work your children bring home from school!
I got this idea out of my Family Fun magazine.
Check out how I added some personalization to Blakely's playroom and a way for me to switch out with all the wonderful 'art' she brings home.


i picked up these 5 frames at a antique store totalling $11. I primed and sprayed them white. You can use any color to coordinate with your room.


after letting them dry, I arranged them several different ways on the floor to see which way I preferred them, then took a picture, so I could place them exactly how I wanted them on the wall.



the things you will need to complete the project. I picked up those fantasy clips you see there at Walmart! They have other colors as well.

And whoooo hoooo....there you have it, the finished project!

and this is what it looks like in the 'big' picture! a tornado went off in her playroom and she didn't do it. and, yes she is only wearing a shirt, your eyes are not lying. . .
