DIY - Kid's Art Boards

Here's a super-simple DIY for you;

Kid's Art Boards!

Granted school's out, so this post comes a little late for schoolwork, but you can display all of their summer crafts here AND be ready for the barrage of art that will come home in September.

And you know it will come.
Like it or not.
There'll be a LOT.
And you'll be expected to post it all

Take a 1/4" (depth) piece of wood and cut it to the length you want to fit your space.
Mine was a piece of scrap we had lying around in the garage and it was already cut to 2.5" high.
Give it a coat of paint.  (Something leftover from another room)

 Add a couple of pop-tabs to the back to act as hangers.

Glue clothes pins, bulldog clips or in this case square magnetic clips to the front - spacing apart at least 8.5" to account for standard paper size.

Hang it in a prominent place for all to admire!

 Voila!

Not bad for $12 eh?

The KEY to making this work for you is to only post these masterpieces for one month.  At the end of the month take them all down, label them with the child's name (if you have more than one child) and the month it was created and then put it away to photograph later.

Each piece gets one month of glory and then it's time to move on so the next work of art can be displayed.
