{Displaying} Art Work

I think it's really important for the kids to have a little section in their room to display artwork.
They love to show everyone that comes over, their artwork...!
 Displays can be super affordable and cute at the same time.
In the Girl's Bug Room, they have an inexpensive cork board that I painted green. I sewn caterpillars out of pompoms and hot glued them to the border of the board.
For Maelyn's Divalicious Room, we hung strings of ribbon with bows on the sides to coordinate with her room. We painted clothespins to match. This artwork display makes it easy for her to hang up her projects.
 Noah has a wooden frame that I decorated and added ribbon onto. He attaches his work with clothespins as well. As they get older, they do less and less projects at school.
A simple way to decorate a cork board is just to drape fabric over the front. I used a staple gun to secure it into the wood border. This board is used in our command center with our family mission statement and some other fun quotes.
My favorite way to display their artwork is still this board that I bought. It's adorable...!
I'm curious to see how others show their kiddos work off.
