Studio 5 Contributor, Kiersten Blanchard shares a creative idea to put your kids’ artwork on display.

_______________________________________________________

Needed:

Several wooden clothespins

Wooden Letters or Shapes

Craft paint

Foam Brush

Miniwax Matte Finish Spray

Glue gun

Two large clothespins (or other wall mounting)

Nylon rope (cut to desired length)

Lighter

Creativity!

Directions

1. Disassemble the small clothespins. Using a brush sponge, paint the clothespins and wooden shapes to match your child’s room. Let dry. Spray with Finish Spray and let dry. Reassemble the clothespins.

2. Using a glue gun, attach the wooden decorations to each clothespin.

3. Hold fire from lighter close to the each end of the nylon rope to help it melt and keep it from fraying.

4. Mount the large clothespins (or other pegs/mountings) on the wall in desired place. String the rope between two sides. Place clothespins across the rope, and hang all of your little artists’ creations!
