How do you Display Kids' Artwork?

[PMJ]

How do you display your Kids' Artwork in your house?

Things I've seen:

magnetic boards (made from baking tins) - and hung up on walls

wood boards hung up w/magnetic hooks glued on

I'm looking for something a bit easier to do. :)

Would love your pictures !

I just picked up a couple items from Ikea to try to make an art display.

Fiskevik picture holders, for the smaller pieces of art

Mine doesn't look quite as fancy as those pictures, but all I did was hang up a long piece of string attached to two nails, and then I hang up their artwork on it with clothespins. Looks cute!

You're my kind of mama ! That's what I'll do :)

Did you tie the string on the balls/ends of the screws so it was flesh off the wall and not directly touching the wall?

Thanks other poster -- if I can get hubby to help me w/this idea - that is also great!

I bought a cork board at Home Goods for $30 and it has a nice frame.

We have wood blinds in the play room that I use paper clips to hang artwork from the cords that are threaded through the blinds.

DS has four square magnet boards and arrow shaped magnets (from Land of Nod) in his room. He can put whatever he wants on them--he is 8.

I also have three pieces of his artwork "mounted" on red construction paper and framed in simple unfinished wood frames. A neighbor recent commented on them expressing surprise that they were kid art. We agreed that the constuction paper backing and frames really elevates the art. LOL.

And ds' school has a ceramics program so his ceramics pieces are displayed in a cubby thing I have (with toys in the bottom cubbies).

That's it. No other kid art on display in our house.

I tape my favorites to the wall going up to our 2nd floor. Not very fancy, I know. :)

We have four of the perfect circle magnet boards, arranged 2 x 2. We use magnets to highlight one to two pieces per board.

I have four linen boards from Pottery Barn put together in a large rectangle. I have the grouping in my kitchen and can fit about 15 pieces of kids' art on it. I also have 2 nice matted pieces from art class from each child on another small wall just across from it.

I bought mine years ago, so I don't know if the dimensions are the same, but they are something like this:
