My kids are prolific artists, especially BigSis, so today's #MomHack is brought to you by my desire to not be overrun by artwork but to satisfy the children's desire to have their prize creations displayed in some manner. Oh, and not to spend alot of money! :-)
Introducing, the Curtain Rod Artwork Display
Materials
- cheap curtain rod ($2-3 at Walmart or Target)
- ribbon
- clothes pins (Dollar Tree)
- hot glue or regular white glue if you have more time and patience than me
Instructions
- Cut ribbon into assorted lengths. This will help prevent artwork overlap when hanging.
- Glue one end of the ribbon to the clothes pin. With the other end, glue the ribbon to itself to form a small loop.
- Once dry, attach the ribbons to the curtain rod by passing the clothes pin end through the loop, forming a sort of slipknot over the rod.
- Mount the curtain rod wherever desired.
When all the display positions are full, the child(ren) must decide to take something down before a new piece of art can go up in its place! My kids and I also have an understanding that once something is no longer displayed it will very likely end up in the trash or mailed to a grandparent or other family friend.
Happy creating!
