KIDS' ARTWORK GALLERY WALL

Here's a practical and beautiful solution for showcasing all that artwork your kids create, making it easier to store and admire.

Directions

Source your frames - use old ones, buy cheap ones or thrift finds. Then prep them with two coats of primer and then paint the color of your choice. Figure out your layout of the frames and prepare their spacing on your chosen wall. Using Command hooks makes it easy. Measure and mark the place on each side of the frame where you want to place the eye hooks. Tap the hook into place with a hammer and then screw them in with the help of a small skewer or screwdriver. Then thread two clothespins onto your monofilament, through the spring hole, and attach the monofilament to one of the eye hooks. Then stretch it across the frame to the other eye hook and attach, keeping the line tight. Hang your frames on the wall in your desired layout. Insert your child's favorite artwork, step back and enjoy!
