Managing Art Work

Every week, I come home with more of Young Man's artistic creations. What to do with the growing pile of art? Over the past few months, I let a plan formulate in my head as to how to display some of his artwork. It took some thoughtful planning and some gathering of supplies from a variety of shops.

I sprayed everything with acid-free mist. I use Krylon Make It Acid-Free from my art supply store. I used my paper trimmer to make smaller pieces from some of the art. I mounted them onto acid-free card stock.

The shadow box is from Pottery Barn. The fabric-covered push pins are from Dandee Designs.



The pretty floral wall hooks are from Anthropologie. And the curtain clips are from Bed, Bath & Beyond. The ceramics are Young Man's painted creations from Third Coast Clay.



Young Man sees his art on the wall and beams with pride that his mommy would prominently display his artwork. I have read somewhere that displaying a child's art helps them develop self-esteem and confidence. I'll be able to change it up whenever I am motivated to do so. I am extremely pleased with the results! Brilliant!
