For a long, long time, we've been trying to figure out how to display the girls' artwork. We have tried several ideas over the years & we've googled & googled ideas. This is what we came up with this time. It's an easily change-able art gallery on the wall next to Taite's bed. I bought a large science fair board & cut the cardboard it into rectangles that were slightly larger than construction paper size (the usual size of the girls' art work). Taite went through my bin of fabric & picked out fabric that coordinated with her room. I covered the cardboard with fabric using a glue gun. I glue-gunned some picture holders on the back & glued some painted mini-clothes pins on the front. Then, we hung them on the wall.
Lewis even gave us a scrap piece of wood that we painted white. I printed the title in a font that Taite picked out. I just traced it onto the wood with a Sharpie (it bled through the paper & made a great "stencil" for the letters!) Taite is very happy about the final product & she's anxious to be able to change out her artwork.
We will probably do a smaller version in the office so Paige can have her art work up, too. (Paige's room is a work in progress, so one day, maybe she'll have her own gallery on her wall!)
