Displaying Art

Create an Art Gallery

Yes, that is a toilet!  I am inviting you into our bathroom!  The bare walls in this bathroom were calling for a little fun!  Welcome,  Art Gallery!!!  The bathroom, or powder room (this one does not have a tub or shower which would bring unwanted moisture), is the perfect place for displaying art!  The bathroom is frequently visited, lengthy visits are sure to encourage earnest viewing,  and admiring  children's creations makes this mommy smile!  Smiling is good!  As children head into middle or high school, a bit less art is created, so savor their masterpieces now (and then) and encourage yours to create an Art Gallery on those walls calling for a bit of fun!

How to...

 Hang art high, low, all around, or

 even behind the door (that is ME!, by Bella)!

Supplies:  
Clothes Pins (40 for $1.00 at dollar stores), 

Command Strips (available at craft and hardware stores), Scissors

One box of these Command Strips 

will allow you transform every room into an art gallery!

Cut the double-sided strip vertically.  

It says on the strip which side adheres to the wall.

When deciding where to stick the clothespins, clip the art work on the clothespin before you remove the adhesive, determine spacing, and then stick it proportionally.  We tend to use 3 different paper sizes, so I have clothes pins spaced accordingly.  We either change out the art with a new masterpiece on the same paper size or put up more clothespins!  Watching the wall grow is exciting!

It really is as easy as it looks!

I did remove clothespins that were stuck on the wall and found no damage to the wall or paint!

While you are at it, capture the artists in action!

Julia seemed so big to me at the time and now, 8 years later...

so big!
